Swedish graphene materials company Graphmatech in conjunction with researchers in Uppsala University have recently revealed the possibility for a major breakthrough regarding the printing of copper additives.
Previously, production of copper-based manufacturing of specially designed products was difficult to achieve, due to the high reflectivity of pure copper. However, by introducing graphene into the pure copper powder, the reflectivity of the copper was reduced up to 67%.
This discovery has the potential to open more opportunities to custom-design copper-based 3d printed patterns, aided by graphene.
