3D Sand Printing
-
- Sand cores made using the 3D printing process.
-
- Close up of largest 3D-printed core of this project. Roughly 8” x 16” x 6”
-
- Slab core made using the 3D printing process. Roughly 16” x 14” x 3”
-
- Slab core made using the 3D printing process. Roughly 5” x 14” x 3”
-
- Pillar core made using the 3D printing process. Roughly 3” x 3” x 16”
-
- The design for the 3D-printed cores and their location in the molds was determined via use of in-house CAD software.
-
- 3D-printed cores were placed into traditional airset molds.
-
- Molds with 3D-printed cores poured using traditional pouring methods. Gating schemes determined using in-house CAD solidification software.
-
- Resulting high-strength steel casting ready for in-house 3D scan / dimensional verification 3 weeks after receipt of purchase order.
-
- 3D scanning confirmed casting met print tolerances.
