Large and molding system that can collectively model sand molds & cores molding from trial production to serial production Machine (World’s fastest sand-type laminated 3D printer SCM-1800)
* The paint color of the machine can be changed according to the customer’s request.
The SCM-1800 is a sand-type laminated molding machine that achieves the world’s fastest molding speed with a large size that enables modeling of mass-produced products from individual prototypes.
・Large size (modeling space: W1,800 x D1,000 x H750 mm) that enables modeling of mass-produced products from single prototypes
・Dry artificial sand (G-CCS) is used, and uncured sand can be recycled repeatedly.
・Adopts a room temperature curing process, eliminating the heat treatment. Mold can be used for casting process immediately after sand removal
・Not only aluminum but also highly molten metals can be poured such as cast steel and cast iron.

Unlike the stereolithography machine, the SCM-800Ⅱ is equipped with an inkjet head instead of a laser, sprays special binder to cure the special coating artificial sand * 1, and laminates it to form a sand mold.
Technology have been accumulated through research and development of an innovation assistance project * 2 by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. This device is suitable for manufacturing sand molds for casting automobile parts such as cylinder blocks and manifolds, industrial equipment parts such as impellers, and construction machinery parts such as hydraulic valves. Since sand molds can be manufactured without using wooden molds, the cost and man-hours for making wooden molds in the casting process can be significantly reduced. Especially for complicated shape castings, a remarkable effect can be expected because the cost and man-hours for making wooden molds are high.
・No wooden pattern required. Sand mold laminated molding that can produce mold form one prototype to multiple parts at the same time.
・Flexible response to design changes, expanding the degree of freedom in design,
・No division required
・Thin wall and high accuracy
・Integrated modeling, reduction of modeling points, reduction of assembly man-hours, realization of material recycling
Hydraulic valves, impellers, cylinder heads, cylinder blocks, turbochargers, aircraft parts, valves, housings, etc.
