Video: Additive Manufacturing Robot for Foundry Molds
In addition to making either metal or plastic parts, one other production application of additive manufacturing is building in sand to create molds for casting without any need for a pattern.
In addition to making either metal or plastic parts, one other production application of additive manufacturing is building in sand to create molds for casting without any need for a pattern. Users include Ford and Hoosier Pattern. From Viridis3D now comes this video of a system that uses a robot to additively produce one-off sand mold components on a conveyor. The company says it is looking for beta sites for this system.
