As illustrated in Figure 1, the ionization source, LALI, uses two lasers to first ablate, or release, material from a solid sample’s surface and then ionize neutrals present in the ablated material. After the build, elemental mapping can determine the chemical composition of part weak points or failures.

In its pure form copper is relatively soft; for the more advanced 3D-printing purposes it’s usually mixed with other metals into alloys that provide enhanced mechanical properties along with that valuable conductivity. It was essentially a powder looking for a process, for years—before it found its niche in 3D printing.” Cleland
