PRODUCT EXAMPLES
3D-print technology for sand moulds and cores
These photos illustrate 3D-print technology for sand moulds and cores used in pump casting. We coordinate geometry and requirements with the manufacturer based on your drawings.
PRODUCT EXAMPLES
Pump component examples
Examples of casings, impellers and sand cores. The required design is defined by the drawing and application.

Castings · precision machining · 3D sand printing
Our team has many years of experience in component manufacturing. This expertise helps us assess drawings, manufacturing processes and technical questions together with manufacturers.
- Component range
- We handle enquiries for custom castings across a wide range of industrial applications. Pump casings, impellers, bearing housings and other machinery components are examples, not an exhaustive list. We assess manufacturability and machining requirements against your specification.
- Material selection
- Cast iron, including grey and ductile iron, cast steel, cast stainless steel and bronze. We agree the appropriate material grade and inspection requirements with the manufacturer based on your drawing and purchasing specification.
- Casting processes and prototypes
- Sand casting or investment casting is selected to suit component geometry and order volume. For prototypes and complex internal passages, we also assess 3D-print technology for sand moulds and cores with suitable manufacturers.
3D sand printing: a faster route to first cast samples
Sand moulds and cores are produced directly from 3D data. For suitable components, this avoids making a conventional pattern or core box. It can shorten mould preparation and make changes to complex internal passages easier.

Illustrative mould-preparation times, not a delivery commitment. Actual time savings depend on geometry, dimensions, approved data and available capacity. Casting, machining and inspection are additional stages; schedules are confirmed for each project.
