Manufacturers in plastic processing and additive manufacturing are dealing with tough challenges: rising costs, strict quality requirements, shorter production times and an unpredictable market. In times like these, choosing the right materials and the right partners is crucial. Copper alloys are increasingly recognized as practical and effective solutions due to their excellent heat and electrical conductivity, durability and reliability, argues Ampco Metal.

The company specialises in copper alloys that help manufacturers shorten cycle times, save costs and deliver consistent quality. But beyond supplying engineered materials, the manufacturer also offers in-house additive manufacturing capabilities, including advanced processes such as Powder Bed Fusion — Laser Beam (PBF-LB). This allows customers to not only access high-performance alloys, but also to source precision components directly from Ampco’s production team.
