3D Printing Copper Coolers Directly onto Processors: A Pioneering Approach by Fabric8Labs, Leveraging OLED Technology for 'Pixel-Perfect Precision', Capable of Using Both Human and AI-Optimized Cooler Designs
In a groundbreaking development, Fabric8Labs has unveiled a new method for microscopic 3D printing of copper structures, marking a significant leap in the field. This innovative approach, known as electromechanical additive manufacturing (ECAM), utilizes OLED display technology to create intricate cooling solutions.
The new method allows for the production of custom cooling plates with offset channels, a design claimed to be better optimized for cooling compared to standard straight channels. This could potentially solve the problem of clogging, a common issue with traditional cooling plates.
The ability to create offset channels in cooling plates is a significant advantage, as it may significantly reduce the risk of clogging. This development is expected to revolutionize the industry, with the future potentially consisting of 3D printing these cooling structures directly onto chips.
Fabric8Labs has demonstrated several 3D printable surfaces for cooling purposes, and some of these designs are created by the team members themselves, while others are optimized using AI. The software developed by Fabric8Labs for direct 3D printing of cooling plates for processors combined with OLED display technology was launched in mid-2024.
At the moment, the team is capable of printing these unique cooling plates for manual installation. The 3D printing process offers "pixel-perfect accuracy" in the 3D printed structures, ensuring the highest quality in the finished products.
This development is a significant step forward in the ongoing evolution of 3D printing technology. As the technology continues to advance, it is opening up new possibilities in the field of cooling solutions, paving the way for more efficient and effective cooling systems in various industries.
