Problem
Designing and manufacturing electronic components that require wiring, soldering, and assembly adds cost, complexity, and lead time, especially for aerospace, defense, and high‑performance applications where reliability and compact integration are critical.
Solution
Kupros offers an on‑demand additive manufacturing service that prints fully functional electronic components, circuits, sensors, and antennas directly into 3D‑printed parts using its proprietary Cu29 all‑metal conductive filament. The high‑voltage, low‑resistivity filament can be processed on standard FDM printers, eliminating the need for separate wiring, soldering, or post‑processing steps. Kupros also provides consulting to optimize designs for embedded electronics and to develop custom conductive materials, ensuring that customers can achieve seamless, mission‑ready integration of electronics into their parts.
Target Audience
Primary customers are engineers and product developers in aerospace, defense, and other high‑performance sectors who need integrated, reliable electronics within structural components.
Features
- Cu29 filament: all‑metal, high‑conductivity (1.226 × 10⁻⁵ Ω·cm) suitable for low‑power sensors and high‑current applications.
- Printable on any standard FDM printer (e.g., $339 Sovol IDEX) with no special equipment required.
- Zero post‑processing: printed parts are ready for use immediately after cooling.
- High material efficiency: 1 kg spool yields ~1 km of conductive trace; 0.5 kg spool yields ~800 m.
- Embedded circuits, sensors, and antennas printed directly into 3D structures, removing wiring and assembly steps.
- Expert consulting for design optimization, best‑practice guidelines, and custom material formulation.
- Custom material development for unique conductivity, strength, or environmental requirements.
