Over the past few years, major productivity and material cost reductions have led to the adoption of 3D printed sand cores and molds for production applications. Although the use of 3D printing can be used in a wide range of applications, there are still targeted applications that tend to be a better fit for the price point of the technology.
In Brandon's AMUG '22 presentation, Brandon discussed prime applications for 3D sand core consolidation, hybrid opportunities, and other best fit applications for production.
