Sand 3D Printing Success Stories

Foundries are using ExOne binder jet technology to dramatically cut lead times, eliminate scrap, and reduce assembly labor needs while casting complex designs with a digital workflow

3D printed molds and cores are the future of metalcasting, allowing foundries to pour increasingly complex geometries or design organic rigging to improve pour quality - all with lead times measured in days, not weeks. Hear from our customers around the world how they successfully implemented sand binder jetting from ExOne to transform their businesses, 

Dundee Castings, a Tier 2 supplier of premium automotive seating molds to most of the world’s leading automakers users two S-Max Pro binder jetting systems to print complexity directly into the part, improving consistency and quality.
