Abstract:

3D printed sand enables metalcasters to create highly complex castings of virtually any size and weight. This state-of-the-art toolingless technology is explained in clear detail in The 3D Printed Precision Sand Casting Process, a helpful pocket guide compiled by the leading professionals of the American Foundry Society's 3D Printed Sand Technical Committee. Featuring detailed process descriptions and photographs, this guide covers design considerations, binders and substrate materials, surface finishes, post processing, handling, current industry best practices, quality control, and other related topics. The 3D Printed Precision Sand Casting Process is ideal for conventional metalcasters, casting engineers, design engineers, and casting buyers who need to understand this cutting-edge process.
