Printed Casting describes the process of 3D printing and casting highly complex molds. With this hybrid approach, the advantages of 3D printing, means geometric freedom and the cost benefits of conventional manufacturing can be combined. The way to self-employment and a new age of metal casting In 2008, Ville Moilanen joined what was then voxeljet technology GmbH in Augsburg as a mechanical engineer. Among…

This 3D Sand Printing facility is first-of-its-kind in the world. This facility houses a production center as well as an experience zone to learn 3D printing & ideate for innovative solutions.…

TEI is one of the largest users of 3D sand printing in the US and runs a fully equipped aluminum foundry in Livonia, Michigan. The engineering expert decided to invest in the second VX4000 3D printer to further expand its already existing capacities for additive manufacturing and quickly and economically realize technically demanding projects for prototyping inquiries as well as production orders. The 3D…

GE (NYSE: GE), Fraunhofer IGCV and voxeljet AG (NASDAQ: VJET) today announced a research partnership to develop the world’s largest 3D printer for offshore wind applications in order to streamline the production of key components of GE’s Haliade X offshore wind turbine. The Advance Casting Cell (ACC) 3D printer under development will benefit from financial support from the German Federal Ministry for…

For that reason, the foundry does not see itself threatened by the rise of direct metal processing technologies. On the contrary, they see printed (additive assisted) castings, the hybridization of 3D printing with metal casting, as the technology of the future. "Where do the geometric limits of metal casting lie? When would you say that a part should directly be printed, not casted?" we ask the team at…

Friedberg near Augsburg, Germany, June 2021 - To develop the new high-performance ceramic material set BrightorbTM for 3D printing, AGC Ceramics Co., Ltd. has entered into a cooperation with voxeljet AG from Friedberg in Bavaria, Germany. Brightorb was developed on a VX1000 with a build volume of 1000 x 600 x 500 mm. The 3D printing system works layer-based and bonds the ceramic particles with an inorganic…

By integrating sand 3D printing into its technical business units, GRATZ Engineering GmbH has given its prototype production a boost in terms of cost-effectiveness and production speed. The automotive supplier from the northeast of Baden-Württemberg in Germany recognized the enormous potential of 3D printing back in the nineties, when it was still a very young technology. Since then, GRATZ has relied on…
