Bonding Clay Imerys, Cincinnati, Ohio,


showcased its Ikobond, a newly developed clay with increased durability for high density mold- ing. Studies have shown the clay has increased durability with respect to green compression strength and wet tensile strength. This durability and quicker molding property develop- ment allows metalcasters to opti- mize the consumption usage of bond per ton of metal poured.

3D Sand Printing Tinker Omega Manufacturing


LLC, Springfield, Ohio, introduced its 3DSP-111 sand printer that was purchased by the University of Northern Iowa Metal Casting Center. The new printer has a 1 cu. m print area and 0.25 cu. m/hour printing speed. Its integrated mate- rial handling includes an automated mixing system for recovered and new sand, a bulk sand storage sys- tem, and pneumatic sand transfer. It is compatible with powder additive. Hoosier Pattern Inc., Decatur,


Indiana, showed attendees its capa- bilities, including its ExOne S-Max 3D sand printing system for molds and cores. In Te Hub on the Show Floor, Hoosier Pattern gave demon- strations of additive manufacturing using a smaller MakerBot machine and it provided 3D printed molds for Foundry-in-a-Box demonstrations. ExOne, Huntingdon, Pennsyl-


vania, highlighted its patternless sand casting molds and cores printed directly from CAD. By selectively printing a specially-engineered binder into paper-thin layers of foundry- grade casting media, the process cre- ates mold components layer-by-layer directly from CAD data, eliminating the need for a physical pattern to cre- ate a core or mold.


Casting Conveyor and Cooler Magaldi Technologies LLC,


Powder Springs, Georgia, show- cased its Magaldi Casting Cooler (MCC), an automated system for the transportation and cooling of
