Copprint has developed an additive manufacturing process for creating conductive copper patterns for RFID antennas, circuit boards, and photovoltaics, providing lower cost, sustainable onshore manufacturing.

The company’s nano-copper inks allow customers to easily print conductive patterns using off-the-shelf equipment.Copprint’s solution is built on a patented technology for a chemical additive sintering agent that enables copper inks to be conductive, solving the problem of copper oxidation that had limited such inks in the past.

The technology is also based on trade secrets for efficient nano-copper fabrication, which enables 10 times the cost savings for nano-copper production relative to other nano-copper manufacturers.Copprint was the recipient of the IDTechEx Printed Electronics Europe 2017 Technical Development Materials Award, the LOPEC 2022 Award, and the Gold Edison Award 2022 for sustainability and environmental impact.

Copprint also won a EUR 1 million grant from the European Union for photovoltaic copper applications.
