Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Nowadays, sand casting as a traditional casting method still accounts for a large proportion in the global casting industry and still occupies an important position in the manufacturing industry. It is particularly noted that binder jetting 3D sand casting is concerned for its unique advantages of high design freedom and high production efficiency, and has a very broad application prospect. However, the molding sand used in binder jetting 3D sand casting usually needs to have certain physical and chemical material properties, and the sand mold is a disposable mold, resulting in high material cost in actual application of the technology. According to the relevant data of Voxeljet, the binder jetting 3D printing molding sand accounts for more than 1 / 2 of the consumable cost, which shows that the reduction of molding sand cost is crucial to improve the economy of binder jetting 3D sand casting. At present, many researchers and related enterprises plan to develop low-cost molding sand to reduce material cost, which has a long cycle and high cost, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, the research and development cost is high, which is difficult for them to bear.
