Solve Complex Challenges with 3D Printing
Waupaca铸造 加法制造 Solves Problems, Mitigates Risk
3D printed core prototypes are cost-effective, faster and more adaptable
加法制造, 或3D打印, uses layers of material to create a part based on a digital design. 3D printed core and mold technology offers multiple benefits in the development and production of iron 铸造s: faster launch of parts, reduced cost and improved quality.
Waupaca铸造 uses additive 制造业 to:
- Aid in iron 铸造 design development and program launch
- Test and verify part performance prior to production
- Improve dimensional control for iron 铸造s with complex geometry
- Replace the need for core box tooling on low-volume production parts
3D printing helps Waupaca铸造 deliver more value. 协作工程, 3D printing and use of iron and sand flow simulation software offers the flexibility to test iron 铸造 designs faster, allows for multiple iterations of geometry, and mitigates risk—all before investing in hard tooling costs.
Waupaca铸造 has successfully used 3D printing to solve OEM customer quality issues and downtime, while eliminating 供应 chain instability in iron 铸造 制造业.
