3D printed sands

Using special granular aggregates processed by 3D printing machines, it is possible to create modular components called cores and molds (anime and motte), typically used in foundry processes to produce prototypes of metal castings. The use of 3D-printed cores (digital cores) is an advanced and extremely rapid solution for obtaining metal alloy castings with highly complex shapes. Prototyping cores can be used directly by foundries or combined with 3D-printed molds to create actual expendable molds, useful for producing small series of metal castings. Prototypes offers an integrated service that combines sand 3D printing and foundry processes to directly produce metal parts through its proprietary Quick Sand Casting process.
