Dimensional Tolerance Assessment of Iron Castings Production Using 3D Printed Sand Process | Modern Casting

Foundries have adopted various additive manufacturing (AM) processes over the years––in particular, 3D printed sand using the binder jet process to make cores and molds has been embraced by over 90% of the foundries per recent surveys. The use of 3D printed sand casting is growing in the production environment, and the initial feedback is that the process results are comparable to the precise sand-casting processes. Currently, 3D sand printing is predominantly used in production via a hybrid approach, where the mold is made using the conventional green sand process and the complex core assembly is redesigned with a consolidated 3D-printed core. However, little has been studied and is known in the public domain about the dimensional tolerances achieved with this toolingless precision sand casting process, especially the potential of achieving truer position and better internal feature tolerances.

Light Minded

As automotive makes a slow transition from internal-combustion-engine vehicles (ICEVs) to electric vehicles (EVs), the evolution will find foundries morphing and honing their expertise to meet the changing demands of OEMs, or, in some cases, diversifying their businesses toward other sectors in the long term. But for the next two or three decades to come, castings in ICEVs are not only safe from extinction, they'll continue getting lighter and performing better.
