Tag: Sand 3D Printer

Every alloy you can cast with 3D printed sand molds – aluminum, gray and ductile iron, steel, stainless, bronze – plus typical parts, the alloy table, and the honest limits.

Case study: an overseas foundry benchmarked 3DPTEK sand printers against Western machines — matching uptime and accuracy at roughly 40% lower TCO.

Case study: large-format sand printing produces wind turbine housings with complex ducting and thin walls — faster than any pattern program.

Case study: a 3C electronics brand validated magnesium and aluminum frames in days with 3D printed sand molds — real castings in production alloys, zero tooling.

Case study: one casting replaces a nine-part defense assembly — 3D printed sand molds cut assembly time 60%, removed joints, and eliminated the tooling bill.

Case study: high-integrity GIS aluminum castings for ultra-high-voltage equipment — complex geometry, tight tolerances, and on-time delivery.

Case study: how 3DPTEK cut an EV motor housing’s weight by 40% — wall-thickness optimization with 3D printed sand cores and zero tooling.

Case study: an aero engine manufacturer used 3D printed sand molds to cut pattern development from months to days — process, results, and lessons.

Training mold makers for digital casting: the CAD workflow, printing process, QC loop, and a practical 12-week plan to upskill your team.

3D printed sand cores for aerospace: produce complex internal channels, thin walls, and tight tolerances without tooling — for aluminum, steel, and superalloys.
