3D PRINTING
APPLICATIONS & ADVANTAGES SHELLS 3D PRINTING
Proof of Concept
Shells 3D printing can help validate concepts and prototypes without major investments in tooling.
Complex Designs Printed as Single Cores
Our 3D printing process produces very complex designs as single cores, providing you with greater flexibility and design for all of your projects. Your printed cores will produce the castings you demand for you and your customers.
Fast Prototyping
Shells 3D Printing can be used to create fully-functional prototypes, as well as multi-part assemblies. Prototypes can often be shipped in as little as one-day allowing for faster design edits and speed to market.
Concept Models
The speed and versatility of custom 3D printed parts provides product designers with the ability to create physical concepts of their designs through the planning process.
Part Production / Scalability
Shells 3D printing helps you produce parts on-demand. You can make a single part or component as easily as dozens of production pieces.
Complex Shapes
Complex shapes and designs can be built easier due to the 3D printing process. This supports complexity without additional cost.
Lead Times Are Shorter
By removing the need for tooling, our 3D sand printing process is working 24/7. Lead times are greatly reduced and your customers are happy. So are your account managers.
Send Us Your Print-Ready Design Files
To print your parts, all we need is your print-ready file of the design. If you need to make a design change, simply call or email us, send us your updated file, and we’re printing.
3D SAND PRINTING
Shells 3D offers the foundry industry with 3D printed sand cores and molds that are sophisticated and elaborate, in less time. We use a binder jetting technology to produce resilient, no-assembly 3D printed sand cores and molds for the highest quality castings. Send Us Your Print-Ready Design Files
