Part Buyers Authority Issue #4

Working with a foundry experienced with sand printing cores and molds is important for a successful adoption of sand printing applications. Integrating 3D printing with traditional foundry operations in a hybrid casting process combines the best of both practices. This is particularly true when planning production strategies for complex castings that are rich in geometric features or have geometries that require regular modification to accommodate specific operating requirements. A foundry that is intimate with 3D sand printing can identify and develop cost effective casting solutions for you. draft to facilitate separation of the sand mold or core from the tooling. Sand printing can eliminate the need for complicated and costly core making equipment needed to accommodate design geometries with undercuts or back-draft conditions. The hybrid approach can reduce cost by eliminating the need to print the entire cope and drag.
