High-quality silicia sand for 3D printing
3D-Printing
High-purity silica sand is a key raw material in industrial sand casting 3D printing. As the base material for molds in the binder jetting process, it enables the tool-free production of complex sand casting molds directly from CAD data—precisely, reproducibly, and without traditional model costs.
Requirements for silica sand
Strobel Quarzsand supplies narrowly graded fractions with a precisely tailored grain size distribution and high SiO₂ content—tailored to the requirements of leading equipment manufacturers and foundries.
Prototype Production
Complex casting molds without tooling costs, directly from CAD data.
Small-batch production
Cost-effective production of custom sand molds for small quantities.
Automotive industry
Precise sand cores for engine-related castings with tight tolerances.
Aerospace
Lightweight cast components with complex internal geometries.
Mechanical engineering
Rapid prototyping and replacement components without traditional mold making.
Applications in the Foundry Industry
Sand casting 3D printing is primarily used in the foundry industry, where complex geometries, small production runs, or rapid prototyping are required. As a molding material, quartz sand combines proven foundry technology with the capabilities of additive manufacturing.
