3D Printing: Turbocharging Casting Processes of All Kinds

摘要

For many years now, a large number of foundries have regarded sand casting moulds and cores produced with a 3D printer as the standard. This technology is well-established in the iron and metalcasting fields and is used wherever it is beneficial. While these applications primarily lie in the area of prototypes and small batches, the limits are increasingly shifting toward bigger and bigger volumes, as the performance of the 3D printing system continues to improve.
