Custom Made to Drawings
Custom Heat Pipe Heat Sinks Made to Your Drawings
Heat pipe heat sinks are used when heat needs to be moved from a concentrated source to a larger fin area or a better airflow location. BY Thermal supports B2B engineers, purchasing teams and product developers with drawing-based manufacturing for aluminum and copper heat sink structures with integrated heat pipes.
Send your 2D drawings, 3D files, heat source location, mounting requirements and application conditions for manufacturability review and quotation.
Structure Options
Common Heat Pipe Heat Sink Structures
Skived Heat Sink with Heat Pipes
For high fin density and improved heat spreading in compact spaces. Suitable when the fin structure and heat pipe route need to be integrated into one custom assembly.
Extruded Heat Sink with Heat Pipes
For projects using extruded aluminum profiles with additional heat pipe assistance. This option can support cost-sensitive structures when the profile geometry is suitable.
CNC-Machined Heat Pipe Heat Sink
For base plates, mounting features, pockets, grooves and interface areas that require machining after extrusion, skiving or plate preparation.
Custom Heat Pipe Thermal Assembly
For assemblies that combine heat sinks, heat pipes, brackets, covers, fasteners or other mechanical parts according to the customer drawing package.
Engineering Purpose
Why Integrate Heat Pipes into a Heat Sink?
A heat pipe can help transfer heat from a limited source area to a larger heat dissipation area. This is useful when the heat source is offset, airflow is uneven, the fin area must be remote from the source, or the product envelope makes direct heat spreading difficult.
- Move heat from a compact source to a larger fin field.
- Support remote or offset heat spreading within a limited mechanical envelope.
- Combine aluminum heat sink structures with copper heat pipes.
- Adapt the assembly to customer mounting holes, interface areas and enclosure constraints.
Design Inputs
Heat Pipe Heat Sink Design Considerations
Heat Source Location
Provide the heat source size, position and contact surface so the heat pipe path and base structure can be reviewed.
Fin Area and Airflow
The fin field, airflow direction and available installation space influence whether skived, extruded or machined structures are more suitable.
Heat Pipe Route
Heat pipe quantity, route, bend area and contact method should be reviewed against the mechanical drawing and assembly space.
Base Material
Aluminum and copper structures can be selected based on weight, conductivity, machining needs and assembly method.
Surface Treatment
Anodizing, plating, passivation or other finishes should match the material, environment and customer drawing requirement.
Inspection Requirements
Critical dimensions, flatness, interface areas and assembly features should be clearly marked on the drawing.
Manufacturing Flow
From Drawing Review to Heat Pipe Integration
Drawing Review
Review 2D/3D files, heat source location, mounting features and required material.
Process Selection
Confirm whether skiving, extrusion, CNC machining or a combined structure is suitable.
Base Manufacturing
Prepare the heat sink body, base plate, grooves, pockets, mounting holes and interface areas.
Heat Pipe Integration
Fit and secure heat pipes according to the approved mechanical structure and assembly method.
Surface Treatment
Apply the specified finish when required by the drawing or application environment.
Inspection and Packing
Check critical features and prepare parts for shipment according to the agreed requirements.

FAQ
Heat Pipe Heat Sink FAQ
Can BY Thermal manufacture heat pipe heat sinks from our drawings?
Yes. BY Thermal supports drawing-based manufacturing for custom heat pipe heat sinks and thermal assemblies. Please provide 2D/3D files and application requirements for review.
Can heat pipes be integrated into skived fin heat sinks?
Yes, skived fin heat sinks with heat pipes are one of the key structures for projects that need dense fins and improved heat spreading.
Can you make both aluminum and copper heat pipe heat sinks?
BY Thermal works with aluminum and copper structures according to customer drawings and manufacturing requirements.
Do I need a complete thermal design before requesting a quote?
No. You can send the current drawing package, heat source location, space limits and project requirements. Missing engineering details can be reviewed during the RFQ discussion.
Is the WooCommerce heat pipe category still needed?
Yes. The category page can remain as a product and example listing, while this page focuses on custom manufacturing capability and RFQ conversion.
