AM Solid PCM 450

3D sand printing technology is used in foundry processes, simplifying small batch casting and new product development processes.

3D sand mold manufacturing (PCM) is one of the most advanced mold making technologies currently available, combining traditional sand molding technology with 3D printing. This technology can quickly create sand molds and cores that are effective for casting complex parts. PCM does not need model tooling, reduces the production cycle and production cost. In addition, using 3D printing to create casting molds utilizes draft-free design, which allows for edits to be made to the casting mold model in a matter of hours.

Advantages of PCM technology:

• Ability to create previously unavailable designs, including generative designs

• Castings conform to accuracy class 7

• Minimal allowances - reducing post-processing time by up to 36%.

• Create complex molds and cores in hours instead of weeks

• Reduce time per iteration in pilot production

• Receive a new product casting in 3 days instead of months

• Reduce material consumption

• No modeling tooling

• Guaranteed repeatability of the molds and cores produced

• No human factor

• Reduced storage requirements

• Indefinite storage of model castings and molds
