China's foundry industry is facing transformation and upgrading 3D printing technology will play an important role

After many years of continuous development, the foundry industry in China has achieved world-renowned achievements. However, in the new period of development and transformation, China's foundry industry is facing the pressure of transformation and upgrading, according to industry analysts, 3D printing will play a unique role in this transformation and upgrading.

After many years of continuous development, the foundry industry in China has achieved world-renowned achievements. However, in the new period of development and transformation, China's foundry industry is facing the pressure of transformation and upgrading, according to industry analysts, 3D printing will play a unique role in this transformation and upgrading.

The China Casting Association predicts that the number of casting companies in 2020 will be reduced to 15,000, the total output of castings will reach 55 million tons, the output value of castings will be about 700 billion yuan, and the casting output of casting companies (about 4,500) accounting for 30% of the total number of companies. More than 80% of the total casting output will be achieved. The 3D printing can ensure that the overall quality of the mold is better than the traditional casting method, greatly improving the casting yield, surface finish, and reducing the casting defects and reject rate, thereby saving more costs.

At the same time, 3D printing technology can quickly transform design ideas into physical objects, especially in the production of complex structures, facilitating designers to communicate effectively with customers and corporate teams, helping early design verification and reducing error costs.

3D printing equipment adopts the additive manufacturing technology, which is to use the method of “layered manufacturing and layer-by-layer accumulation” to manufacture solid parts. It integrates computer graphics processing, digital information control, laser technology, electromechanical technology, and material technology. A number of high-tech advantages can be used to improve the product manufacturing process and drastically shorten the R&D and production processes.

3D printing technology has the advantages of high forming speed, low cost of forming materials, etc., and the forming process does not require support. The excess powder material is easy to remove. It is particularly suitable for complex prototypes of interior cavities, and is most suitable for combination with casting processes to achieve industrialization applications. .

Many companies can import high-efficiency large-scale 3D printing equipment and carry out industrialized application research of 3D printing technology in casting. The equipment adopts 3DP technology, which is mainly used for the direct printing and forming of the foundry sand type, so that the four processes of mold making, molding, core making and forming in the traditional casting are all replaced by one process of 3D printing.
