Quick Sand Casting is an advanced rapid prototyping technique with metal casting (Rapid Casting). It allows for castings in the final alloy, using traditional foundry processes but with reduced times.
Thanks to this method, the prototypes obtained have mechanical characteristics identical to the final parts, ideal for pre-series and realistic functional testing.
The process starts from the 3D model of the part to be produced, from which disposable pre-molds (molds) are created, made of sand and resin using prototyping techniques.
The molds are assembled and used for the molten alloy casting, already containing the part cavity and any elements such as undercuts or cores.
Thanks to a custom-designed feeding system, the molten metal is poured into the 3D printed molds. During cooling, the resin in the pre-molds carbonizes, allowing the metal casting to be extracted.
The part is finally deburred and sandblasted to obtain uniform surfaces ready for any subsequent processing.
