In the field of manufacturing large castings (e.g. engine blocks, industrial machinery housings, aerospace components).Traditional sand molding process<\/strong>Constrained by the three major pain points of \"size limitation, long lead time and high cost\" for a long time - it takes several months to make a 4-meter sand mold, and it needs to be assembled manually by disassembling several groups of sand cores, with a scrap rate of more than 15%.4-meter large-scale sand casting 3D printer<\/strong>(in the form of) 3DPTEK-J4000<\/a> On behalf of the emergence of), completely break this dilemma: 1 time printing to complete the 4-meter overall sand, shorten the cycle of 80%, reduce the cost of 40%, but also to achieve the complex internal structure of the traditional process can not be completed. In this paper, we will analyze the core parameters, advantages, application scenarios and industry value of this equipment, and provide technical transformation guidelines for heavy manufacturing enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Traditional large-scale sand mold manufacturing (size over 2 meters) needs to go through \"mold making - sand core disassembly - manual assembly\", there are difficult to solve the pain points, but 4-meter sand 3D printing through the \"integrated molding + digital process\" to achieve a comprehensive breakthrough. process\" to realize a comprehensive breakthrough:<\/p>\n\n\n\nRead navigation<\/h2>
