Characterization of Powder Bed-manufactured Copper Cubes
Copper grown through powder bed fusion has historically shown less than desirable characteristics for medical devices. This research helps characterize copper manufactured in a specific manner. By successfully characterizing copper, it can become possible to link growth parameters to desirable characteristics. These desirable characteristics will then help guide a new generation of medical devices.
