| Abstract Scope |
In the last few decades, the need for complex core designs has dramatically increased with customer demands for more efficient engines. In order to meet this need and to reduce development times, 3DCeram and Avignon Ceramic (a French manufacturer of foundry cores by injection) created in 2021 a joint venture named U3DC with the aim of developing complete solutions for 3D printing cores (machine, materials and processes). The cores resulting from this technology have already been validated by an industrial customer for the production of turbine blades by SX investment casting and a quality equal to that obtained with traditional methods has been reached. Alongside this, 3Dceram has developed the C3600 printer which enables mass production of parts. This innovative solution to produce foundry cores brings a new dimension to the traditional industrial processes and opens up extensive perspectives in the field of investment casting. |
