Advanced Binder Jet 3D Printing for Complex Foundry Cores and Molds

Disruptive times call for disruptive technologies and the S-Max Pro is the smartest, most advanced 3D sand printer from ExOne. Binder jet 3D printing is finally available to help foundries operate more efficiently and grow business despite labor shortages.

The benefits of 3D printing for sandcasting include:

• Lights-out manufacturing with less hard-to-find labor
• Design freedom to consolidate complex cores with less assembly
• Integrate organic rigging and risers for less scrap
• Eliminate the lead time, cost, and storage of traditional tooling

The S-Max Pro features a 1260-liter build box for rapid product development and reliable production of sand molds and cores. The fully automated printhead increases print speed and advanced powder compaction offers leading green density and strength of complex designs. The S-Max Pro can process all ExOne binder systems, including furan, phenolic, and inorganic, and is adjustable to produce cores and molds in a variety of foundry sands, from silica to ceramic.

As the most advanced system in the ExOne family of 3D sand printers, the S-Max Pro is focused on continuous 24/7 production and offers Industry 4.0 integration with cloud connectivity and real-time machine monitoring.
