Copper forging & casting for AI data centres

At Dean Group International, we support AI data centre and connector manufacturers with precision-engineered copper components produced through forging and casting. 

As AI data centre infrastructure continues to grow, not least in the UK, so do demands on power distribution, thermal management and connectivity. Copper provides the electrical conductivity, thermal performance, strength and durability these systems require.

We provide copper castings and forgings for demanding AI data centre applications, supporting connector manufacturers from component design through to production.

Data centre copper components

AI data centres place increasing demands on power distribution and connectivity systems. Copper components provide the electrical and mechanical performance required for reliable operation.

Our manufacturing capabilities can support components such as:

  • High-current power connectors
  • Connector terminals
  • Busbar interfaces
  • Conductive components
  • Grounding components
  • Connector bodies

The right manufacturing process depends on the component design, material specification, production volume and performance requirements. 

We can assess your requirements and identify a suitable manufacturing solution, whether that is copper forging or casting. Our copper components are also used in architecture, engineering, energy and power and other industries where high electrical current and long-term durability are critical.

Our capabilities

We provide copper forging and casting solutions designed to meet the demands of the AI data centre industry. Our copper manufacturing capabilities include:

Copper forging

Copper forging forms a suitable copper alloy under controlled pressure to create the required component shape. The process uses plastic deformation rather than removing material from a solid billet, helping produce strong, consistent components with efficient material use.

Key benefits:

  • High strength and ideal for mechanically demanding components
  • Consistent quality to support repeatable production
  • Efficient material use to reduce waste

Copper casting

The copper casting process enables molten copper or copper alloy to be introduced into a mould to produce shapes that may be difficult or uneconomical to manufacture through forging alone. 

This makes copper casting suitable for complex geometries, integrated features and larger components used in demanding AI data centre applications.

Key benefits:

  • Complex geometries that enable intricate component designs
  • Design flexibility to suit complex and integrated features
  • Suitable for larger copper components

Precision manufacturing expertise

Our precision manufacturing expertise enables us to produce copper components to demanding dimensional tolerances and quality requirements. 

We work closely with customers to develop components that meet their specific design and production requirements.

Engineering-led manufacturing solutions for AI data centres
