Aluminum Additive Manufacturing

Accelerate the development of your aluminum parts using 3D sand printed molds and cores. This solution is particularly suited for prototypes, pre-series, and complex internal geometries when lead time and tooling elimination are critical.
01

Prototyping without traditional tooling

Aluminum additive manufacturing, also known as 3D sand printing for foundry, enables the production of molds and cores directly from digital files, without traditional tooling.
It offers great design freedom, significantly reduces lead times, and avoids pattern making when the project involves a prototype, a pre-series, or a complex internal geometry.

From 3D File to Aluminum Part

  1. 1
    Preparation and validation of the 3D file.
  2. 2
    Sand printing of the mold and cores.
  3. 3
    Casting of the selected aluminum alloy.
  4. 4
    Shakeout, finishing, and inspection of the part.

Applications and Decision Points

  • Functional prototypes and design validation.
  • Pre-series before investment in tooling.
  • Parts with complex cores or internal channels.
  • Developments for which lead time is critical.
