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.
The first of many: CASTFAST supplies castings plus machining
CASTFAST’s first casting order with machining! The machining partner for the first two castings with machining was invenio in Nauheim.
VIDEO: Huge spare part for cooling water pump recast
The (short) film about the giant pump project is here. In a nutshell: The GVT team urgently needed a highly complex spare part for an old cooling water pump – without a drawing, without a model. The video shows how we were able to cast it anyway.
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.
