The introduction of the new sand stacking 3D printer has achieved further speed improvements. It has become possible to apply it not only to prototypes but also to some aspects of mass production processes.
Would you like to reconsider your manufacturing process? Sand layer molds are a molding method that incorporates CAD data into a sand layering device to directly shape sand molds. This allows for the omission of processes that were essential in traditional casting production, such as the creation of wooden or resin patterns and trial castings, thereby shortening the overall lead time. Additionally, shapes that are difficult to produce with conventional sand molds can be molded. Simultaneous mass molding of cores and other components is also possible. We also accept contracts for mold production only. 【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 lead times and cost savings. ○ Examples of effectiveness: → 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.
