3D Sand Printing for Steel Casting - A Game Changer

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Additive Manufacturing (AM) has an increasing impact on modern fabrication processes. Especially in terms of tools, gauges and other consumables like grippers and fixtures, AM proofs to decrease costs and speeds up development processes. In addition to metal AM processes 3D sand printing (3DSP) fills the gap towards larger parts with several tons of weight for example tooling frames for presses. With the need of a reduction of the CO2 footprint of products and processes 3DSP allows to design more complex castings by using bionic principles. 3DSP enables more lightweight designs for castings than classical approaches, which leads to new ways of thinking tools and big parts for mobility applications. Especially in the transportation sector it opens new, cost-effective ways to manufacture big parts for trains and other heavy vehicles.
