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.
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.
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.
You don’t need a black belt in lean management to know that waste is not a good thing. Using the classic typology of waste types from lean theory, we briefly show here how 3D sand printing makes casting more sustainable.
Discover how 3D sand printing in casting design overcomes traditional limitations and enables complex, cost-effective designs. Learn more about the benefits of this innovative technique, from print-ready core packages to unlimited design freedom.
Nowadays, anyone who needs cast parts as spare parts has several options to avoid these problems. A good understanding of all the possibilities helps in an emergency, but also simply in selecting the best process for the respective application.
Rapid casting procurement is often still based on long-term relationships with suppliers and good preparation. When something unforeseen happens and it has to be done quickly, the disadvantages of traditional casting with a wooden model become a problem.
3D sand printing can step in in such situations. Here are three examples from CastFast production where Printed Casting has helped customers out of a tight spot and made the impossible possible.
3D sand printing combines additive manufacturing technology with traditional sand casting, creating shortcuts in casting production.
