What is Sand Casting?<\/h2>\n

Sand Molded Casting, also known as\u00a0Metal Casting, is a process by which a special mold from sand is created to form metal objects at very high temperatures. The technique is widely applied in heavy industries such as Aerospace, Automotive, Railway and Shipping as a solution for short-run production. Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sand Casting is a relatively simple process enabling manufacturers to produce metal objects. However, there are several challenges involved, including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • High costs<\/li>\n
  • Manual labor required<\/li>\n
  • Lengthy process duration<\/li>\n
  • High margins of error<\/li>\n
  • Limitations in producing complicated patterns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    How can large-scale 3D printing help?<\/h2>\n

    Traditionally, the replica is made manually using different materials types and techniques. The process is not ‘digital\u2019, meaning it takes longer to complete and can result in accuracy issues.
    \nIntegrating large-scale 3D printing into a sand casting process offers the following benefits, as compared to a standard sand casting process:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Reducing replica and pattern production time<\/li>\n
    • Creating a highly accurate replica from a digital file<\/li>\n
    • Significantly lowering costs<\/li>\n
    • Replica design flexibility<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      These advantages are even greater when the pattern-making process is done in-house instead of being outsourced. Production time can be reduced by up to 80%, once the process is fully managed and controlled internally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
