Robotic Sand 3D Printer Designed for the Foundry Industry

By pairing an industrial robot with an all-new printhead and re-coater design, ExOne -- in partnership with new owner Desktop Metal -- has created an Additive Manufacturing 2.0 system designed to democratize sand 3D printing for the foundry industry -- the S-Max Flex Sand 3D Printer.

Binder jet technology from ExOne has been revolutionizing sand casting for years now. Their sand 3D printing technology has enabled many foundries to shorten lead times, eliminate tooling costs, and streamline prototyping.

The redesigned-from-the-ground-up robotic sand 3D printer will make the benefits of this technology more affordable and easier to use than ever before.

The new turnkey system was developed to help smaller foundry businesses both survive and thrive into the future by enabling owners to:

• Offer quick turnaround times on high-quality complex castings.
• Reduce labor, scrap, and assembly time associated with traditional core production.
• Operate more efficiently, despite labor shortages and supply chain challenges.

S-Max Flex Robotic Sand 3D Printing System Features:

• Proven industrial robot arm paired with an all-new printhead and re-coater design that features Desktop Metal's Single Pass Jetting technology.
• New titanium components help ensure dimensional accuracy across a range of operating conditions.
• Environmental controls and sand drying capabilities to remove variables for consistent material flow and reliable performance.
