3D Sand Printing – A boon for Foundry Industry

The foundry industry in India has been growing steadily over the past several years despite economic slowdown dented its demand from the end user industry i.e. engineering and auto component sectors. The Indian foundry industry is producing various grades of Castings as per International standards.

The various types of castings which are produced are ferrous, non ferrous, Aluminum Alloy, graded cast iron, ductile iron, Steel etc for application in Automobiles, Railways, Pumps Compressors & Valves, Diesel Engines, Cement/Electrical/Textile Machinery, Aero & Sanitary pipes & Fittings etc& Castings for special applications.

To get a casting done in a foundry through conventional process we go through various processes we develop CAD part file, design pattern and core box, manufacture a pattern and a core box, produce and assemble cores, produce cope and drag mold, then we assemble the mold package and finally produce the casting. This conventional process is very cumbersome and time-taking.As well, the first prototype is never finished product and prototypes need to be redesigned numerous times. The slow nature and high cost of traditional prototype design do not allow organizations to fully utilize their expertise and abilities. Also many times we come across a better way to design our product, but due to the costs and time involved to make these changes, we can't implement the changes to our design.

To unfold and eliminate the monotonous and cumbersome conventional method, ExOne GmbH, with continuous research and development and spending lot of money and time, has successfully been able to provide a paradigm shift from conventional manufacturing to 3D printing. It has brought a new life to the foundry industry. Intricate parts with undercuts, draft angles can be created in a matter of hours and the design changes can be made numerous times giving designers the flexibility to design a product.

With a lot of research activities going on, questions put forth on the technology with respect to its cost effectiveness and speed for prototyping are a matter of past. The technology is its new age of fast 3D-printers, which are definitely more productive for the series productions.

ExOne's S-Max with job box size of 1.8x1.0x0.07m and with recent launch of Exerial machine (a step towards serial production) is playing a promising role—just design the CAD data and print the mold package eliminating the need for patterns and tooling.

3D is entering now into the mainstream with great fanfare.
