    To achieve superamphiphobic properties on the surface of copper, a novel strategy for fabricating multi-level micro-nano superamphiphobic membranes by laser-electrochemistry subtractive-additive manufacturing method is explored. To test the properties of the metal surface prepared by this method, a variety of testing experiments are carried out. The experiment results shows that the contact angle (CA) of water and oil droplets are 161° ± 4° and 151° ± 4°, while those rolling CAs are 2° and 10°, which shows that the prepared surface had excellent superamphiphobic properties. Through the wettability test at different temperatures, the surface hydrophobicity of the prepared samples at low temperature 5 °C is worse than that at a room temperature 25 °C. According to droplet bounce test, the water drops experiences two complete bouncing processes on the surface of the prepared samples when the laser scanning interval is equal to the laser spot diameter, which indicates that the stable Cassie state is related to the multi-level micro-nano structures. In addition, the superamphiphobic surfaces fabricated in this paper have perfect functionality and stability, which provides a novel method for the potential application in the automotive, aerospace, and shipbuilding industries.
