Without creating a mold, directly form sand molds from 3D data using a sand layer 3D printer.
Sand layer casting refers to a molding method that incorporates CAD data into a sand layering device to directly shape sand molds. This process allows for the omission of traditional steps essential for manufacturing cast products, such as creating wooden or resin patterns and conducting trial castings, thereby shortening the overall lead time. Additionally, due to the flexibility in design changes for molds and the application for custom products, it is possible to manufacture a variety of molds tailored to customer needs. 【Features】 ○ Inversion and casting plan definition are performed on product shape data to create 3D mold data. ○ No wooden patterns are required. → This enables reduced delivery times and cost savings. ○ Effect examples: → Schedule: 37% reduction (30 days to 19 days) → Cost: 48% reduction (2 units of material) For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
