Streamline Foundry Tooling Support

1Design Assistance

We collaborate closely with foundry tooling engineers through web meetings to streamline the design process. With 3D modeling, what you see is what you get — minimizing surprises and reducing revisions. Our in-house capabilities include part scanning, reverse engineering, and extensive expertise across a wide range of molding and core blowing machines, ensuring your tooling is designed right the first time.

2Precision Machine & Turning

Our extensive lineup of vertical, horizontal, and 5-axis CNC machines and lathes delivers unmatched precision. We use shrink-fit tooling and a Haimer tool pre-setter to ensure optimal balance and accuracy. We consistently maintain tight tolerances through continuous investment in advanced technology and equipment, and deliver repeatable results on every project.

3Quality Control

Multiple inspections are performed on every tool, with results documented and available for review. Our ISO 9001:2015 certification reflects our commitment to consistent, high-quality outcomes. Each foundry’s unique standards are recorded, and final check-offs are completed to those exact specifications before any tooling leaves our facility, ensuring confidence and reliability with every delivery.

4On-time Delivery

At Hoosier Pattern, we understand that meeting deadlines is critical to our customers’ success. That’s why when we commit to a delivery date, we do everything we can to meet— or exceed — it. Timely delivery isn’t just a goal; it’s a core principle that keeps your projects moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends. The lead time for 3D sand printing services depends on several factors, including the complexity and size of the printed object.

In general, smaller and less complex objects tend to have shorter lead times, while larger and more intricate objects may require more time to complete.

To learn how long your specific project may take, please contact our team. We’ll provide you with a more accurate estimate based on your unique requirements.

There are some limitations and factors to consider as you begin your project. These include…

  • Adhering to minimum wall thickness requirements to prevent structural issues
  • Optimizing part orientation for improved surface finish and mechanical properties

As you work with our designers, we’ll help you be mindful of sand’s properties and the binding agents used in the process, as well as the constraints that dictate the maximum printable dimensions. 

There are several cost factors associated with industrial 3D printing, including…

  • Material expenses for sand and binding agents
  • Overall size and complexity
  • Lead time

All of these factors can contribute to the overall cost of printing with sand.
