Velo3D qualifies copper alloy for use in Sapphire family of printers

Velo3D has qualified the copper-chromium-niobium alloy GRCop-42 for use in its Sapphire family of printers.

The GRCop-42 alloy was developed by NASA to manufacture parts in need of high-strength and high-conductivity, such as rocket engine combustion chambers with regenerative cooling. It can be used to produce mission-critical parts with oxidation resistance and high creep strength at temperatures as high as 1400 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the company.
