01. The AiForm-G1 Green Laser System: Built for High-Reflectivity Materials Like Pure Copper
The AiForm-G1 carries a dedicated green laser at a wavelength of approximately 532 nm. Because green light avoids the high-reflectivity band of copper and other reflective metals, it substantially raises the material’s laser absorption efficiency. The machine is purpose-built for printing pure copper, silver, gold and other high-reflectivity materials — neatly filling the technical gap that conventional infrared fiber lasers struggle to cover — and brings a new solution to the fast-growing liquid cooling industry.
The system is equipped with a 500 W green laser and a 140 × 140 × 180 mm build volume, with outstanding pure copper printing performance and part density of up to 99.9%. Backed by its ultra-small spot precision forming capability, the AiForm-G1 can reliably produce 0.1 mm ultra-thin cooling fins, complex bionic lattices, precision internal flow channels and other micro-structures.
AiForm-G1 specifications:
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Build volume | 140 × 140 × 180 mm (L × W × H) |
| Laser | 500 W green laser |
| Computing power | 60 TFLOPS |
| Filter life | Permanent filter, service life ≥ 30,000 hours |
| Printing precision | 0.1 mm minimum thin wall; 0.07 mm minimum spacing |
| Layer thickness | 20–80 μm |
| Machine dimensions | 1,770 × 810 × 1,750 mm (L × W × H) |
Drawing on these precision forming advantages, the AiForm-G1 can manufacture core components such as monolithic pure-copper thermal modules. These products can integrate precision fins, TPMS (triply periodic minimal surfaces) lattice cells, bionic configurations and other complex structures that conventional processes cannot achieve. Such structures maximize the heat exchange area and effectively improve thermal performance.
Targeting AI servers, compute centers, new energy and other high-end thermal scenarios, FASTFORM is delivering domestically produced, high-precision, mass-producible product solutions — and further unlocking the technical frontier of high-reflectivity metal additive manufacturing.
Additive forming of a multi-layer microchannel cold plate:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Material | Pure copper |
| Fin thickness | 0.2 mm |
| Gap | 0.25 mm |
| Characteristic cross-section layers | 4 layers (in localized areas) |
Variable cross-section channels and complex fin manufacturing enable directional flow guiding, so the vertical layering and lateral flow distribution of two-phase liquid cooling no longer have to be compromised by manufacturing limits — genuinely enabling controllable phase change.
Process chain: manufacturability assessment → process validation → forming → powder removal → pressure test (30 bar).
02. From Prototypes to Mass Production: An Integrated Solution for Scaling Liquid Cooling
Compared with selling machines alone, FASTFORM’s core opportunity lies in its industrial deployment capability. Drawing on the experience of 3,000 deployed machines, FASTFORM has overturned the assumption that “3D printing can only make samples, never production parts,” building a standardized, replicable system that closes the complete loop from digital design to finished-part inspection and delivery.
Batch consistency. FASTFORM has established a closed-loop quality control system covering raw materials, forming process, forming process monitoring and performance validation. Density and thermal performance variation across production batches is controllable, enabling stable delivery at the thousand-piece level.
Long-run printing stability. FastLayer, FASTFORM’s fully in-house intelligent metal 3D printing slicing software, is built on 3,000 machines deployed worldwide for high stability and reliability. It is deeply integrated at the two-way underlying level with the dedicated green laser AiForm-G1 platform, producing an energy-efficiency gain greater than the sum of its parts.
Lower cost per part. FASTFORM delivers precise control across the full cost stack — labour, equipment depreciation, raw material loss and energy consumption.
| # | Cost item | Calculation method |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Labour — operators | Plate workload ÷ parts formable per plate = labour hours required per part |
| 2 | Labour — design engineers | Negligible in mass production |
| 3 | Equipment depreciation | Allocated by forming hours per part |
| 4 | Raw material | Calculated at 1.1–1.5× part mass |
| 5 | Electricity | Forming hours per part × system power rating |
| 6 | Nitrogen or argon | Forming hours per part × system unit gas consumption |
| 7 | Maintenance | Annual maintenance cost → hourly maintenance cost → allocated by forming hours per part |
In small-to-medium-batch liquid cooling production, additive manufacturing’s cost per part is already lower than the conventional “skiving + brazing” process, while liquid cooling parts deliver 30%+ higher cooling efficiency — a double win of lower cost and stronger performance.
03. Rooted in the Industrial Park: Hardcore Innovation Targets a High-Growth Track
FASTFORM has been in business for more than ten years and has built its reputation on technical innovation. It has completed the global deployment of 3,000+ machines and exports to 80+ countries, and the company states that it holds the world’s No. 1 position in global sales. It has built an “AI-based process data center,” completing a paradigm shift from experience-driven to data-driven — and has accumulated a large user base across global medical, general industrial manufacturing and 3C consumer electronics sectors.
As demand for AI server compute explodes, pure copper liquid cooling has become the core growth track for metal 3D printing. FASTFORM will deepen its work in this field over the long term, continue to increase R&D investment, commit firmly to this track, solve the challenge of printing high-reflectivity metals, and reinforce its competitive foundation in the industry.
04. FAQ: FASTFORM, AiForm-G1 and Liquid Cooling at the Shanghai Forum
When and where is the 3rd China International Liquid Cooling Technology Forum? It runs September 10–11 at the Sheraton Hotel, No. 66 Jiatang Road, Juyuan New Area, Jiading District, Shanghai, starting at 08:30. FASTFORM is exhibiting at Booth 35.
What is the AiForm-G1 and which materials can it print? The AiForm-G1 is FASTFORM’s green laser metal 3D printer with a ~532 nm laser and a 500 W power rating. Its green wavelength avoids the high-reflectivity band of difficult metals, making it suited to pure copper, silver, gold and other high-reflectivity materials that conventional infrared fiber lasers struggle to print.
What precision and density does the AiForm-G1 achieve? It maintains a 140 × 140 × 180 mm build volume and prints pure copper with density of up to 99.9%, including 0.1 mm ultra-thin cooling fins, bionic lattices, precision internal flow channels and TPMS structures.
Has FASTFORM shipped real liquid cooling products? Yes. FASTFORM has launched a monolithic cold plate and a metal 3D-printed DDR5 memory cooling part with a Tesla valve internal channel structure. Customer testing verified a significantly reduced inlet-to-outlet temperature difference versus conventional designs.
Can FASTFORM support volume production, not just prototypes? Yes. With 3,000+ machines deployed globally, a closed-loop quality system and the in-house FastLayer slicing software, FASTFORM supports thousand-piece-grade batch delivery — and for small-to-medium liquid cooling batches, the cost per part is already below conventional “skiving + brazing.”
