As the automotive industry continues to evolve, lightweight design is bringing greater driveability and lower fuel consumption to vehicle manufacturing. More and more automakers are achieving lightweight manufacturing of vehicles through 3D printing technology in their manufacturing process.
Sand rapid prototyping technology is currently the main three-dimensional inkjet printing (3DP) technology and selective laser sintering (SLS) technology.
The emergence of 3D printing technology has certain advantages in additive manufacturing. At present, 3DP technology has a wide range of application prospects in the field of sand casting.
3DP sand casting has the advantages of short manufacturing cycle, low R&D cost, integrated sand/core manufacturing.
3D printing has eliminated much of the tedium of the 3,000-year-old sand casting process
Researchers have identified a technique for 3D printing sand with great strength.
