Versevo, a US-based tooling and mold-making company, has just expanded its tech capabilities by adding an ExOne S-Max Pro binder jet 3D sand printer to their arsenal. This is a great advancement for Versevo, promising faster and cheaper production of sand cores for early development, low volume, and production purposes compared to conventional methods.
“This process lowers costs for customers because the automated system eliminates the need for labor, reduces scrap, and is printed directly from 3D CAD data, therefore eliminating the need for physical tooling and core assembly operations,” explained Versevo’s CEO and President Terry Moon.
Moon also emphasized the scalability brought by this new technology, making it possible for Versevo to meet growing customer demand across diverse industries, including agriculture, construction, mining, and machinery manufacturing.
The ExOne S-Max Pro boasts speeds of up to 135 liters per hour and layer heights ranging from 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm. Its generous build volume and automated features, such as an inline processing system and error correction mechanisms, guarantee consistent and reliable performance, supporting Versevo’s commitment to top-notch quality.
Versevo’s adoption of 3D sand printing reflects a trend in the industry, where additive manufacturing is redefining metal casting processes. ExOne’s Sand 3D Printing Network, launched in 2020, aims to create wider access to 3D printed molds and cores for manufacturers, with industrial binder jet 3D printing used for rapid and efficient production.
