Waupaca铸造加法制造 Solves Problems, Mitigates Risk

3D printed core prototypes are cost-effective, faster and more adaptable

加法制造, 或3D打印, uses layers of material to create a part based on a digital design. 3D printed core and mold technology offers multiple benefits in the development and production of iron 铸造s: faster launch of parts, reduced cost and improved quality.

Waupaca铸造 uses additive 制造业 to:

Aid in iron 铸造 design development and program launch
Test and verify part performance prior to production
Improve dimensional control for iron 铸造s with complex geometry
Replace the need for core box tooling on low-volume production parts

3D printing helps Waupaca铸造 deliver more value. 协作工程, 3D printing and use of iron and sand flow simulation software offers the flexibility to test iron 铸造 designs faster, allows for multiple iterations of geometry, and mitigates risk—all before investing in hard tooling costs.

Waupaca铸造 has successfully used 3D printing to solve OEM customer quality issues and downtime, while eliminating 供应 chain instability in iron 铸造制造业.

Click on the case studies below to discover how Waupaca铸造 has used additive 制造业 technology to solve common challenges OEMs and their Tier 1 suppliers face. 好处 of 3D printed prototypes have included reduced costs, 更快的周转时间, reshoring 制造业 and mitigating 供应 chain risk.

Innovation and Problem-Solving Mitigate Supply Chain Risk

Through collaborative engineering and a prototype 3D-printed core assembly, Waupaca Foundry provided a solution that could improve quality, delivery and cost for a compressor 车身已投入生产. It also meant reliably changing the iron 铸造制造业 process from horizontal to vertical molding, as well as reshoring the part to a U.S. 供应 base—with complete peace of mind.

Getting Down to the Core of 加法制造

加法制造, 也被称为3d打印, streamlined 铸造 design to production and revolutionized the way Waupaca铸造 delivered value to its customers and solves 供应 chain risk. The iron 铸造 supplier installed its first sand 3D printer in 2022 to automate core production and create one-piece complex cores that were once multi-piece assemblies.
