With most casting today, the process starts at the computer, where a part has been designed and needs to be developed for precision sand-casting. The part is broken down to determine how many molds ...

There exists a need for ever more accurate parts and products to be created, and to be created quickly and efficiently. One way of doing this is to use rapid prototyping technologies. Rapid ...

Pouring molten metal into three-dimensional molds to make metal parts is the basis behind both sand and investment casting. But there are significant differences between these two methods. In sand ...

Sodium Chloride has a melting point of 801 C (1,474 F), putting it comfortably between commonly-cast materials like aluminum and bronze. Which led to [Robinson Foundry] asking the question: can you ...

Japanese-headquartered global foundry group relies on sand binder jetting from Desktop Metal’s ExOne brand at facilities in Japan and the United States to deliver high-quality castings with fast ...

A new Open Ceramics research paper examines how sand binder jetting already supports series production and what it will take to industrialize slurry-based ceramic 3D printing.
