Molten copper is the melted, liquid form of copper ore that has been smelted by a foundry. On Vulcanus, molten copper can also be generated by processing Lava. Both methods of generating molten copper require calcite. Molten copper cannot be placed into barrels, so it cannot be sent to other planets.
Once generated, molten copper can be cast into copper plates, but it can also be cast directly into copper cables or low density structure. The copper cable casting recipe is always more efficient compared to casting plate and using an assembling machine, but not as efficient as using the Electromagnetic plant with productivity modules of sufficiently high quality.

Molten copper from lava |
Note that the molten copper from lava recipe generates more stone than the Molten iron from lava recipe. This makes copper a more calcite-efficient way to generate stone relative to copper.
