Abstract Scope |
Metal casting is a 3000-year form of manufacturing that is relied upon in industries for medium to large metal parts. Binder jetting (3D printing) of sand has been employed for almost two decades to digitize the casting industry and allow for the fabrication of disposable molds created directly from a computer aid design file. As the binder systems can be interrupted at predefined layers, components like sensors systems (Internet of Things) can be introduced within the mold and can wirelessly transmit data from an armada of sensors to provide unprecedented process monitoring to improve casting quality and yield. |
