UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES BY MAKING SAND MOLDS AND CORES WITH 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY

The foundry business grows fast and, to keep up the pace, the players need to use the latest and most efficient technologies wherever available.

One good example is the useage of the most innovative technologies enabling foundries to produce highly complex sand molds and cores while still very accurate dimension wise.

This type of technology – that is using the addition of successive layers of sand – enables the foundry to make perfect shapes of very complex parts that are often difficult to produce in the common foundry molding process.

Moreover, the 3D printing technology also contributes in many cases to reduce lead time and cost that are extra incentive to consider this new technology to maintain the competitive edge in the foundry segment of the market.

Though this process is primarly suitable for R&D and prototyping projects, the new development in the production of more efficient production units are already promising to hope that one day the technology will be use on a high-scale basis.
