AFS SLS(Selective laser sintering) 3d printing systems

SLS coated sand technology

SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) technology for coated sand is an advanced Additive Manufacturing method used for creating sand molds and cores used in metal casting. This process involves a powdered sand material coated with a heat-sensitive binder. A high-powered laser selectively fuses the coated sand particles together, layer by layer, based on a 3D model, forming the desired shape. The heat from the laser effectively sinters the sand, creating strong and durable molds and cores with intricate geometries. SLS technology for coated sand offers several benefits, including the ability to produce complex designs, reduce lead times, improve casting accuracy, and optimize part performance in metal casting applications.

SLS coated sand

SLS sand is used for forming сores and molds at foundries and metallurgical enterprises.

Sand production is fully automated and based on resins with a low phenol content. Coated sand is widely used in the production of castings with low thermal expansion, in the conditions of mass production of castings of increased precision. In addition, this material used in the production of valves, connecting rods, pumps, compressors and other elements made of cast iron, steel casting and non-ferrous metals.

AFS coated sand is adapted to the requirements of our customers and have a number of advantages:

  • High strength、Low gas emission、Low expansion
  • Good dispersion, high surface purity of the castings
  • The mold shape is not layered, good thermal stability, good thermal conductivity, good fluidity, and the smooth surface of the casting.
  • High strength, High temperature resistance, Good mold release and mechanical resistance The uniform layer pattern without shelling, high curing speed
