Pouring molten metal into three-dimensional molds to make metal parts is the basis behind both sand and investment casting. But there are significant differences between these two methods. In sand ...

With most casting today, the process starts at the computer, where a part has been designed and needs to be developed for precision sand-casting. The part is broken down to determine how many molds ...

There exists a need for ever more accurate parts and products to be created, and to be created quickly and efficiently. One way of doing this is to use rapid prototyping technologies. Rapid ...

Chris Borge] has made (and revised) many of his own tools using a combination of 3D printing and common hardware, and recently decided to try metal casting. Having created his own tapping arm, he ...

The process of sand casting involves the use of non-reusable sand molds to form metal castings. Casting appears to be a simple manufacturing process on the surface: anyone who has built a castle on ...

SPRINGFIELD -- In Roman mythology, the sea god Neptune carried a trident. In modern-day Springfield's North End, a new robot playfully nicknamed by his new owners in Neptune's honor is carrying ...

Recent advances in 3D printing have transformed the traditional sand casting industry by introducing techniques that significantly enhance design flexibility, reduce production lead times, and ...

Reuters reports that Tesla has combined a series of innovations to make a technological breakthrough for single casting of the complex underbody of the car. Tesla already can gigacast the front and ...

Sand casting has been around since, well, since a really really long time ago. For thousands of years, people have been pouring molten metal into finely crafted sand casts, and there’s really no ...
