What Is Better Than Sand Casting?
Customers often ask us: "Aren't there more advanced casting technologies now? For example, precision casting, die casting, and 3D printing casting, are they better than traditional sand casting?" This question sounds interesting, but we always answer with a smile: "It depends on what you want to cast!" Each process has its own areas of expertise. There is no absolute "better", only "more suitable".
For example, if you want to make a delicate, small, complex, and precise part, it may be more cost-effective to invest in molds for precision casting; if you want to make aluminum alloy parts in batches, die casting is indeed more efficient; but if you want to make metal components with large structures, flexible shapes, single pieces or small and medium batches - then sand casting is still the most suitable!
The advantage of sand casting is that it is flexible, low cost, and has a large degree of design freedom, which is suitable for the manufacture of various complex shapes and large parts. Moreover, the sand mold production cycle is short and easy to modify. Manufacturers like us who specialize in sand casting have come into contact with many customers. Once their drawings are changed, other processes need to be re-molded, and sand casting can solve this problem by simply modifying the sand mold, which is very worry-free.
Fuding has several sand casting automated production lines with complete supporting facilities, including sand treatment systems, efficient sand mixers, molding lines, and automatic pouring devices. Our sand casting workshop can support the production of castings weighing from tens of kilograms to several tons, with an annual output of more than 20,000 tons, and can meet the production needs of multiple batches and multiple types of customers at the same time.
In terms of quality control, we use advanced metal composition analyzers, spectrometers, ultrasonic flaw detectors and hardness testers to ensure that every product shipped out of the factory has undergone strict testing. Our sand casting not only has standard dimensions, but also has solid internal density. Many old customers say that our castings are heavy and reassuring.
We pay special attention to team service. Many customers come with sketches or an idea. We can assist them in completing the design transformation, provide technical advice, optimize the structural process, and help them bring the product to market faster. Sometimes it only takes a few days for a component to go from a drawing to a finished product. This efficiency is the "hidden skill" of sand casting.
If you are also choosing a process and looking for a manufacturer, you might as well learn about sand casting and our team. We are willing to listen to your needs, work with you to polish the plan, and use casting to turn the drawings in your mind into real parts. Welcome to visit our factory or communicate online, you will find that sand casting is the most suitable choice in the right place!
