What is 3D sand printing?

3D sand printing is a hybrid process that combines traditional sand casting with 3D printing. Sand molds are printed directly (without a model) in a special 3D printer and then cast in the same way as traditionally produced sand molds.

A print file for the sand mold is created using CAD data of the workpiece. Using a binder jetting process, the mold is then built up layer by layer in the 3D printer (by selectively bonding the grains of sand). If no CAD data is available, 3D data of the workpiece can be generated using drawings or a 3D scanner.

We currently print molds and cores based on quartz sand and furan resin binder. In the future, we want to offer all common binder systems (furan/phenol/inorganic) and Cerabeads as a molding material in addition to quartz sand.

The molds are currently printed at CASTFAST in Mainz.

We take your intellectual property very seriously. Every drawing, sketch or image you upload to our system is kept absolutely secure. We use the latest security algorithms. The traffic on our website is encrypted using the most advanced algorithms available. Once your order has been placed, only the supplier who actually manufactures your part has access to the drawing. All manufacturers in our network are contractually bound to protect your intellectual property. If you require a specific non-disclosure agreement, please contact your account manager.

About us

Where tradition and the future of the foundry industry merge!

Casting has a future. Behind CASTFAST is a team that is deeply rooted in the German foundry industry and firmly believes in the future viability of casting as a material. To achieve this, however, the foundry process must be rethought from the ground up. That’s what we do.

The time is ripe. Radically improve the foundry? You can. The confluence of several technical developments makes it possible to bring casting production as we know it into the 21st century in one fell swoop. We are combining 3D sand printing, digitalization and platform thinking to revolutionize the use and purchasing of castings. And to open up an exciting new future for all independent foundries.

Our mission: revolution. CASTFAST began with an affiliated foundry and was thoroughly put to the test there. But that was just the beginning. We want more. To give more customers access to faster, better castings, to connect more foundries, to give more designers the courage to cast.
