Dimensional Tolerance Assessment of Iron Castings Production Using 3D Printed Sand Process | Modern Casting

Foundries have adopted various additive manufacturing (AM) processes over the years––in particular, 3D printed sand using the binder jet process to make cores and molds has been embraced by over 90% of the foundries per recent surveys. The use of 3D printed sand casting is growing in the production environment, and the initial feedback is that the process results are comparable to the precise sand-casting processes. Currently, 3D sand printing is predominantly used in production via a hybrid approach, where the mold is made using the conventional green sand process and the complex core assembly is redesigned with a consolidated 3D-printed core. However, little has been studied and is known in the public domain about the dimensional tolerances achieved with this toolingless precision sand casting process, especially the potential of achieving truer position and better internal feature tolerances.

Printing Payback

Thanks to investment in an ExOne S-MAX Pro 3D sand printer, Waupaca Foundry is now able to turn around a prototype in days instead of weeks. It’s a long list of potential use cases, many of which were probably never anticipated when she fired off the purchase order for that machine. And so it is with desktop printers’ more productive and accurate counterparts: production 3D printers. Here, end-use parts in polymer and metal alike are possible.

Metal 3D Printing Steps Up to Solve Pressing Supply Chain Issues

While 3D printing has been making headlines for years, one particular area of the burgeoning industry – the additive layering of metals to create components for everything from medical surgical robots to airplane engine parts – has rocketed in popularity over the past two years. As supply chains have been crippled by factors outside of their control like COVID-19, metal printing parts suppliers are helping brands regain control over the manufacturing process.
