Heat Sink Skiving Machines

Skived heat sinks

Both fins and base are cut from a single piece of metal by repeatedly slicing the top off of a belt of metal and folding it back onto the base. Skived heat sinks can be made with thin fin and high density geometries while benefiting from the thermal conductivity of a uniform piece of metal (no impedance from bonding).

Heat sink forging machines

Forged heat Sinks

Both fins/pins and base are made from a single piece of metal by forging it into the form by high pressure. Forged heat sinks can be made with thin round pins or thin fins and high density geometries while benefiting from the thermal conductivity of a uniform piece of metal (no impedance from bonding). Pin Fin advantages: Erecting a forest of pins from a flat base is a popular way to maximize surface area; they work best when air flows axially along the pins.
