Why do foundries use sand 3d printing?

More and more industries are using binder jet additive manufacturing technology to improve their core competitiveness ,including the casting industry . By 3D printing  sand molds and cores , castings with complex designs are delivered with fast turnarounds while saving money on patterns ,tooling and labor.That's why foundries are using sand 3d printing.

1, Design Freedom 

Produce complex designs not possible with traditional manufacturing processes. Various sand molds with complex structures can ultimately become high -quality castings in reality.And ,change designs  is easy and without a cost penalty.

2, Reduce delivery time

For traditionally manufacture way,the complex sand molds always need weeks and months to produce. CHN Leading sand 3D printing binder jetting system  can print 6cbm sands in one day,ensure fast turnover.

3, Get more business with flexible manufacturing

Without hard tools, complex product structure ,1 pcs Moq requires , low production costs , and fast  delivery time ,these advantages  help foundries win more and  orders .

4, Less Labor required

Producing multiple complex sand cores at once eliminates the need for a large number of skilled workers to spend weeks or months producing large quantities of sand cores ,foundries no longer require a large number of workers, increasing their profits.

5,Friendly for post processing of castings

The castings produced by sand cores and  molds using 3D printing technology have high quality, reducing post-processing time and saving tools and labor.

6, 3D file storage reduces warehousing costs

By using sand mold 3D printing technology, the foundry only needs to store the 3D design files well, without the need to produce a large number of physical sand cores or  molds stored in the warehouse, greatly saving storage costs.
