Highly complex, from a standing start
A critical spare part for a cooling water pump used in a German power plant could no longer be obtained from the original manufacturer. Drawings or even a model for the ultra-complex cast part (guide vane housing, pump built in 1971) were also no longer available. Thanks to the combination of precision measurement and model-free casting (3D sand printing), the pump component could still be manufactured. And next time it will even be possible at the touch of a button.
