Holo launches AM platform to drive ‘adoption of metal 3D printing’

Holo has launched its proprietary additive manufacturing platform at its new San Francisco Bay area production facility. The company is using the high-resolution PureForm platform to produce pure-copper parts directly for customers and expects to soon be manufacturing thousands of components monthly.

The Silicon Valley company claims it developed PureForm to “drive widespread adoption of metal 3D printing.”

Holo CEO Hal Zarem said, “Most companies developing additive technology are focused on selling their printers. We are lowering the barriers to adoption by offering additively manufactured parts to our customers and addressing the largest sector of the AM market with finished parts.”

3D-printing high-purity copper has historically been challenging. Holo developed a 3D-printable copper that is 99.9% pure, allowing it to retain the material’s bulk conductivity properties. This has enabled the company to focus on developing cooling solutions for the rapidly growing high-performance computer market, electric vehicles (inverters and e-motors), complex 3D electrical interconnects, RF antennas, and heat exchangers.
