Challenge

LED performance and lifetime depend critically on thermal management. Conventional extruded aluminium heat sinks cannot conform to complex LED array geometry.

Solution

AM enables conformal heat sinks that follow complex LED array geometry and optimise fin structures for each specific thermal load — improving LED efficiency and lifetime.

Outcomes

01Conformal geometry impossible with extrusion; improved thermal management

Technologies

Laser Powder Bed Fusion

Source

Technology demonstrated; selective product adoption
