Copper 3D Printing Quality Control | Additive Manufacturing

Copper 3D Printed Parts: Quality Control Excellence

Our quality management system ensures every copper 3D printed component meets the highest standards of precision, performance, and reliability—backed by advanced testing technologies and rigorous protocols.

Every 3D printed copper part undergoes 17 quality checks before delivery. We don’t just meet industry standards—we set them, with a 99.8% compliance rate across 18,000+ parts shipped.

In-Process Monitoring
3D printing: Real-time laser scanning (layer-by-layer dimensional check) Post-processing: CNC/abrasive flow parameters logged every 30 seconds
Final Inspection
Dimensional: CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) for ±0.001mm accuracy Performance: Conductivity tester (98%+ IACS required), pressure/leak testing Visual: Automated optical inspection (AOI) for surface defects
Traceability
Each part has a unique QR code linking to full records: material batch, print parameters, inspection reports
