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
