Binder Jet 3D Printing for Sand Casting: Benefits, Applications and FAQs

What are the benefits of binder jet 3D printing for sandcasting?

With the capability to independently carry out medium and small batch production, Kangshuo binder jet technology eliminates lengthy mold-making time and high mold costs. The application of 3D sand mold printers has enabled a rapid transformation from design drawings to physical sand molds, significantly reducing the production cycle and improving production efficiency.

What Sets KSS1800B Apart?

High Resolution & Surface Quality
KSS1800B prints at 400 dpi with adjustable layer thickness between 0.3–0.6 mm, ensuring every mold has the fine detail and smooth surface finish required for demanding applications.

Large Build Capacity
Capable of producing molds up to 1800 × 1000 × 700 mm with dimensional accuracy within ±0.3 mm, giving you the flexibility to handle both large-scale and intricate designs.

Exceptional Speed & Throughput
With a bidirectional sand spreading system (400 mm/s) and print speed up to 1200 mm/s, the KSS1800B completes a full build box in as little as 7 hours. That means faster turnaround and greater efficiency in your production line.

Smart Automation for Modern Manufacturing
From AGV-guided chambers to automated sand mixing and recirculation, the KSS1800B reduces manual intervention, cuts material waste, and improves overall process sustainability.

Is there any way to reduce the upfront cost?

Yes — we offer sand 3D printing as a service, so there's no need to purchase equipment or invest time in a learning curve. Simply send us your CAD files, and we'll take care of printing, post-processing, and shipping. You pay per project rather than committing to capital investment, and you can evaluate the results before deciding on any longer-term arrangement.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes. Kangshuo ships worldwide.

Is assistance available to create a digital file?

Kangshuo accepts a wide range of digital modeling file types, though CAD is most preferred. If you need assistance creating a file that is suitable for 3D printed molds, please contact us for support.

What materials/binder can i print with?

Kangshuo machines' consumables include furan resin, curing agent, silica sand, ceramic sand. To tailor a print to the requirements of the casting. Reach out to our team to learn about the material options and which combination is right for your needs.

When will my parts be available?

Standard lead time for 3D printed sand molds and cores varies by location and may depend on the complexity of the casting mold or volume of the order. Our turnaround times are as fast as 3-5 days. Rush services are available, so reach out to get a custom quote for 3D printing.
