After months of intensive construction, the sand mold 3D printing intelligent manufacturing project of Shanxi Sanlian Shunchi Auto Parts Co., Ltd. has recently commenced operations. The launch of this project is a significant measure for the city of Hejin to promote the intelligent upgrade of the traditional casting industry and optimize the automotive parts sector.
On September 1, reporters observed in the company’s 3D printing workshop that two large industrial-grade 3D printing machines were operating in an orderly manner. One machine has been fully put into production, while the other is in the final debugging and trial production phase. In the central monitoring room, technicians are using an intelligent control system to monitor the printing process in real-time, achieving precise control over the entire production process.The sand mold 3D printing intelligent manufacturing project is a key investment attraction project for our city this year, with a total investment of 50 million yuan. A new 3D printing dedicated factory building of 2,300 square meters has been constructed, and two internationally advanced ESK T1800x1000x800mm sand mold printers have been introduced along with a complete set of supporting equipment. In addition to current usage, the project will also focus on the research and production of high-performance aluminum alloy cylinder blocks and cylinder heads in the future. The equipment used in this project is equipped with ESK’s independently developed nozzle system, which is a domestic first. Combined with high-precision positioning and splicing area precision control technology, it not only significantly improves production efficiency but also ensures the stability and consistency of the printed product quality.The application of sand mold 3D printing technology has completely transformed the production model of traditional casting, pushing the industry from “experience-driven” to “data-driven,” upgrading from “trial-and-error manufacturing” to “precision manufacturing,” and achieving a leap from “mass production” to “flexible personalized customization.” This technology is particularly suitable for the rapid manufacturing of complex structural castings, providing customers with agile development and delivery services for prototypes and small batch products.The company’s responsible person stated that the full-scale production of the 3D printing intelligent manufacturing project will further deepen the integration of the company’s traditional casting advantages with advanced digital manufacturing technology, injecting new momentum into development. In the next step,the companywill continue to adhere to innovation-driven strategies, continuously enhance professional manufacturing capabilities, provide customers with higher quality products and services, and strive to become a leader in technological transformation within the industry.
