Additive Manufacturing (AM) refers to a family of layer-upon-layer building technologies capable of producing geometrically intricate parts in a single step [1]. In the last twenty years it has gained huge interest in both academia and industry. Today, still, the processability of many materials through AM is under development. One of the most interesting study concerns the adoption of copper, a metal characterized by high thermal and electrical conductivity. The first part of this thesis presents a global review of the current state of art on copper’s manufacturing through AM. In the pages that follow the main studies conducted sofar concerning this issue are reported.
