3D Printing
-
Furan Acid Process
Everyone has heard of 3D printing sand cores by now. At Founders we have changed the thought process on how we print cores. With our new 3D printing capabilities we can offer a more cost effective way to print sand cores. We can use new jobs without tooling or scan your current tooling to create a file if you don't have one.
​
What are the benefits of 3D printing?
- Save thousands on tooling.
- Speed to market for sampling
- Easier shakeout than our traditional cold box core
- Shell out any existing cold box core for easier shakeout
- Lower gassing
- 0 draft needed
- Design undercuts and very intricate cores
- Longer shelf life than traditional cold box cores
Why Founders?
Founders has been making cores for over 30 years. If it has to do with making cores we can make it happen. We specialize in making cores most foundries don't want to make. You worry about pouring metal we will worry about the sand. Give us a call today to see what we are capable of.
​
Transfer the responsibility of tracking the maintenance, production, scrap cost, and staffing of your core room to Founders and allow us to be your partner in helping your foundry thrive.
