4 Digital layering process Transfer of 1CAD data 2 Application of powder 3 Selective addition of binder 4 Lowering of the building platform 5 Steps 2-4 repeated 6 Removal of unbound powder 7 Finished element The component is built layer by layer. This process requires 3D CAD data, which is transferred to process preparation software via an STL interface. That is where the model is virtually disassembled into individual layers. The moulds are placed in the virtual build space, and the building process is started. The loose basic material is evenly applied over the entire build width. A print head applies binder where the model is to be produced, whereby the binder infiltrates the most recently applied layer and connects it with the layer below. The building platform is lowered and the process starts again. Following the completion of the building process, the loose particle material is removed manually. Once the moulds have been cleaned, they can be mounted and prepared for casting. With sand casting, the mould acts as the negative of the work piece. Application areas Automotive Engineering Art / Architecture Research In the automotive industry, 3D printing impresses with a high level of precision, along with cost and time savings as compared to expensive tools. The fine casting method is particularly convincing for small series, as it offers a high degree of accuracy and good surfaces. Significantly lower throughput times make the sand casting process a very popular method for the production of machinery components. The cost-effective implementation of complex components from design studies offers a decisive advantage. Numerous art and design models are evidence of the benefits that 3D printing offers to designers, artists and sculptors. Architectural models from 3D printers are the first choice for the realistic and detailed visualisation of building projects. 3D printing technology is an excellent tool for the visualisation and implementation of abstract concepts, particularly in line with final projects. The objective of some medical projects is to plan and prepare operations prior to the actual event with the help of a 3D model. Last revision: 08/2013. We reserve the right to make
