3D sand printing in action: Live from CASTFAST production
What kind of orders are currently running on the CASTFAST platform? Four live examples from production show 3D sand printing in action.
Designing sand molds for the 3D printer? Nothing goes wrong with these CASTFAST rules
Guidelines and tips from the CASTFAST team to help foundries successfully design sand molds for 3D sand printing.
When will 3D sand printing replace metal 3D printing?
Fast Manufacturing metal components without tooling or welding? Designers like to use metal 3D printing for functional prototypes and one-off parts. With “Printed Casting” it works the same way, with a bonus. Here, the CASTFAST team briefly explains the differences and advantages of 3D sand printing. Additive manufacturing processes offer great design freedom, flexibility and […]
CASTFAST launch party in pictures
The CASTFAST team officially celebrated the spin-off at the end of April. They were joined by customers, partners, suppliers and companions.
Which material for iron casting with 3D sand printing?
Which materials are available for iron casting from the 3D sand printer? EN-GJL or rather EN-GJS? What do you need to consider when choosing? The CASTFAST team reports from the field.
Super-fast molds on demand: CASTFAST for foundries
Foundries can now experience the many advantages of the patternless casting process with CASTFAST – without having to invest in their own 3D sand printers. Aluminum, iron and steel foundries can order 3D-printed sand molds online and then cast them in-house.
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.
