There is not much difference between 3D printers for casting and traditional casting methods using basic wooden patterns. Why not take the first step in utilizing them together with our company?
A 3D printer for casting is a modeling method that imports 3D data created with CAD, etc., into a 3D printer to directly shape sand molds (cores, main molds, etc.). It is often referred to as a mold 3D printer or core molding machine, and it can shorten the lead time for the production of wooden or resin molds needed for complex shapes, as well as for sand packing and mold assembly before casting.
Rather than relying solely on 3D printers, we recommend a hybrid operation that leverages the advantages of existing methods, the benefits of 3D printing, and your company's strengths and weaknesses by combining existing methods with 3D printing.
**Features of Utilizing 3D Data and 3D Printers:**
- It is possible to create casting 3D data by 3D scanning the product shape even without wooden molds.
- For complex-shaped cores, many wooden molds are not necessary.
→ This allows for reduced lead times for wooden mold manufacturing, lower management and storage costs, and shortened assembly time and labor for cores.
- Since 3D data is output, there is less variation, and the imbalance in cast products is also reduced.
- 3D data can be used not only for modeling but also for verifying products against drawings.
- 3D data can also be utilized for casting simulations and other applications.
Why not try using a 3D printer this year? We will support you from data creation onward.
