3D printing systems: Profitability included

3D printers from voxeljet can be used for the time- and cost-efficient production of sand molds and cores for metal casting. The molds are produced by applying a particle material in layers and selectively bonding it with a binder. Silica sand is used as the particulate material.

3D printing with plastic is the ideal solution for the cost-effective and time-saving production of investment casting models. The models are created by the layered application of a particle material that is selectively bonded with a binder.

3D-printed models defy the economy of scale principle. Prototypes, small and medium series can be produced in a way that is cost-effective and in no time, while offering greater detail, complexity and resolution than conventional methods.

3D printing brings time and cost saving advantages when compared to conventional manufacturing. In direct comparison to conventional production, 3D printing illustrates a clear cost profit. When the production in conventional production lies at around 3.600 €, the production with 3D printing can be reduced to 900 €.
