What your process engineer actually checks

What your process engineer actually checks

Conductivity you can design to

228 W/m-K thermal conductivity, 8.4 g/cc density and a 118 GPa modulus after sintering — the reason teams reach for copper in heat exchangers, inductors and thermal-management parts. Measured values on the datasheet, not a filament-vendor estimate.

Debind and sinter parameters included

Every spool ships with 3DCeram's datasheet and the full print, debind and sinter cycle for the M.A.T. FFF head, so green parts reach target density on the first build instead of after trial-and-error.

A materials engineer on the line

Shrinkage, density and sintering questions go to an engineer who has run bound-metal FFF — not a ticket queue. Sub-4h reply, mutual NDA standard before any spec review.

Why engineers choose Fila-MAT Copper

Four things a process engineer checks before qualifying a bound-metal feedstock.

228 W/m-K thermal conductivity

Measured on sintered parts — high-conductivity copper for thermal-management and electrical components, not a filament-vendor estimate.

8.4 g/cc dense copper

Near-full-density copper after sintering, with a 118 GPa elastic modulus (ASTM E8/E8M).

Tested at ESA’s ESTEC facility

Mechanical data measured with calibrated equipment at the European Space Agency’s technology centre in the Netherlands — third-party test conditions.

Debind & sinter parameters included

Every spool ships with 3DCeram’s datasheet and process parameters for the M.A.T. FFF head, so green parts reach target density predictably.

How the Fila-MAT workflow runs

Print, debind, sinter — the same three-step process behind every bound-metal FFF part.

Step 01
Print on the M.A.T. FFF head

1.75mm feedstock runs on 3DCeram’s M.A.T. printer — max nozzle 270°C, max bed 110°C, with heated filament and print chambers for consistent extrusion.

Step 02
Debind the binder

Binder-removal parameters ship with every spool’s datasheet, tuned for the copper feedstock — no trial-and-error on the first batch.

Step 03
Sinter to dense metal

High-temperature sintering consolidates the part to dense, conductive copper — ready to use.

Common questions

What is Fila-MAT Metal Copper and how does it produce metal parts?
Fila-MAT Metal Copper is a 3DCeram bound-metal feedstock — a 1.75mm filament loaded with copper powder held in a polymer binder. You print a green part on the 3DCeram M.A.T. FFF head like any thermoplastic, then remove the binder (debinding) and sinter the part in a furnace to consolidate the copper into a dense, conductive component. The result is a functional copper part made on an extrusion printer, without a laser powder-bed system — useful because copper's reflectivity makes it hard to process on many laser machines. Every spool ships with the debind and sinter parameters so the first build reaches target density predictably.
Which printer is Fila-MAT Metal Copper compatible with?
Fila-MAT Metal Copper is qualified for the 3DCeram M.A.T. multi-additive printer running its FFF extrusion head. The M.A.T. uses heated filament and print chambers that keep the highly filled metal feedstock extruding consistently, and it is matched to that machine rather than sold as a generic 1.75mm filament — which is why the print, debind and sinter parameters ship together. If you do not run an M.A.T. yet, Additive Plus can quote the printer alongside the feedstock so the whole workflow is validated from one supplier.
What post-processing does Fila-MAT Metal Copper require?
Like every bound-metal FFF material, Fila-MAT Metal Copper needs two steps after printing: debinding and sintering. Debinding removes the polymer binder from the green part, and high-temperature sintering fuses the remaining copper powder into dense metal. The debind and sinter parameters are supplied on the datasheet with every order, so you are not guessing cycle times or temperatures. Additive Plus can also advise on debinding and sintering equipment if you do not already run a furnace suited to copper.
What properties can I expect after sintering?
After sintering, Fila-MAT Metal Copper reaches roughly 8.4 g/cc density, 228 W/m-K thermal conductivity at 30°C, a 118 GPa modulus and a CTE of 18.71 ppm/°C. Copper is chosen primarily for thermal and electrical conductivity rather than structural strength, so the datasheet centres on those properties; final strength depends heavily on your sinter cycle and achieved part density. The full datasheet ships with every spool, and an Additive Plus materials engineer can advise on achievable density for your geometry.
How much does a Fila-MAT Metal Copper part shrink during debinding and sintering?
Bound-metal parts shrink as the binder is removed and the metal densifies during sintering, so a green part is printed larger than the final dimension and scales down predictably. The exact linear shrinkage for Fila-MAT Metal Copper is defined in the 3DCeram datasheet supplied with every spool and is applied in the recommended slicer profile, so your CAD dimensions map to the finished part. A materials engineer at Additive Plus can walk through the shrinkage factor for your specific geometry before you commit to a production run.
Why print copper with bound-metal FFF instead of a laser system?
Copper's high reflectivity and conductivity make it hard to process on many laser powder-bed machines, which need special green or high-power infrared sources. Bound-metal FFF sidesteps that: you extrude a copper-filled filament on a standard heated FFF head, then debind and sinter to dense metal. This makes conductive copper parts — heat sinks, exchangers, inductors and RF or thermal-management components — accessible on the 3DCeram M.A.T. without a dedicated copper laser system. An Additive Plus engineer can help judge whether FFF copper meets your conductivity and geometry targets.
