The DoE grant will fund the development and commercialization of a voxeljet (NASDAQ: VJET) sand binder jet 3D printer used to manufacture massive sand-casting molds The new manufacturing technology ...

Sand-casting metal parts is a technique that has been around for a very long time, but it can be educational to see the process from start to finish. That’s exactly what [Frederico] shows us with his ...

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 ...

Recent advances in 3D printing have transformed the traditional sand casting industry by introducing techniques that significantly enhance design flexibility, reduce production lead times, and ...

The second process is used in the foundries for producing cast products. This is the oldest and simplest (in theory but not in practice) means of manufacturing shaped components. Other techniques, ...

In this video, we demonstrate the process of making a sprocket from metal scrap using sand casting techniques. It includes detailed steps on preparing the mold, pouring the metal, and finishing the ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Sand casting and investment casting are methods of creating metal parts by pouring molten metal into three-dimensional ...

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 ...
