Benefits of 3D Sand Printing

True Design Freedom
We are confident that you will want to experience firsthand what our 3D sand printer can do for you. We encourage you to contact us to see what our team can do for your next project.
From Design to Reality Without the Middleman
Design and print geometrically complex media, bypassing the fabrication of tooling to create the core or mold, typical of conventional casting methods.
Drastically Reduce Lead Times
With a dramatically increased design freedom and the ability to scale production volumes easily, delivery can happen in days -- not weeks or months.
One of the World's Largest Printing Job Boxes
Our 3D sand printer's job box has a build envelope of 1800 x 1000 x 700mm, well above the industry standard. This lets us effortlessly scale your project up.

Print Sand Casting Molds & Cores Directly from CAD

Hoosier Pattern's 3D sand printer selectively dispenses foundry-grade resin into thin layers of specially engineered sand. With an on-demand sand management system, a printhead offering precise dosing of the binding agent, and capabilities for complex internal details. The process produces accurate, uniform cores and molds rapidly, significantly reducing lead time. if you can design it, we can build it.

Our Design Engineers Can Help Bring Your Designs to Life

Have a specific need, but don't have the resources to design it? Hoosier Pattern has an experienced team of CAD designers who have a passion for precise, efficient design. With experience ranging from CNC patterns to foundry gating, our CAD designs, as realized by our 3D sand printer, give you the complexity you need, with tolerances your product requires.

When determining the cost for a printed sand core/mold, take the L x W x H of the bounding box of the piece to be printed and multiply this by $0.13 (for most product)

Most lead times are 10 business days but can be expedited for an additional fee.

If we do not have to clean the core and can print the part in a printed box and you can extract the part, cost is $0.11/cubic inch with a normal lead time of 1 week. HPI does have a minimum printing charge of $450 and packaging material and shipping is an additional charge.
