Core Product Features​

 

  • Process-specific & Complex Structure Adaptation: Designed exclusively for foam pattern forming, it can realize integrated forming of complex castings such as special-shaped parts, multi-cavity parts, hollow structures and curved contours without splitting the mold. The casting structure has high degree of freedom, solving the complex shaping problems that are difficult to achieve by traditional casting.
  • Diversified Materials & On-demand Adaptation: Mold materials include aluminum alloy (A356, ADC12), cast iron (HT200, HT250), resin mold, wooden mold, etc. Aluminum alloy mold has uniform thermal conductivity and high forming precision, service life ≥8000 cycles, suitable for medium-batch production; cast iron mold has high strength and wear resistance, service life ≥15000 cycles, applicable to mass production; wooden/resin mold is cost-effective and fast-processing, suitable for single-piece/small-batch trial production.
  • Near-net Shape Forming & Excellent Precision: Cavity dimensional tolerance ≤±0.05mm/m, surface roughness Ra≤3.2μm, casting machining allowance reduced to 1-2mm, near-net shape forming reduces subsequent machining costs by 30%-50%. The foam pattern fits the mold precisely, avoiding the parting surface misalignment problem of sand casting, with good casting dimensional consistency and qualification rate ≥97%.
  • Dry Sand Molding & High Efficiency Environmental Protection: Adapt to lost foam dry sand vibration molding process, the mold does not require complex sand core structure, simplifying the production process and shortening the molding cycle by 25%. No binder or release agent, no sand hole defects in castings, and the production process is environmentally friendly and pollution-free, meeting the requirements of green casting.
  • Full-scenario Adaptation & Flexible Customization: Suitable for castings of various materials such as gray iron, ductile iron, aluminum alloy, carbon steel and stainless steel, casting weight covering 0.5kg-1000kg. It can customize cavity structure, exhaust groove and positioning pin according to customer casting drawings, meeting the production needs of complex castings such as automotive parts, construction machinery components and general mechanical accessories.

Core Process Advantages​

 

  • Digital Design & Simulation: Uses 3D modeling with UG and Pro/E, combined with AnyCasting simulation analysis to simulate foam pattern forming, molten metal filling and solidification processes, optimize mold cavity structure and foam bead filling process, mold test pass rate ≥95%, and sampling cycle shortened by 20%.
  • Precision Machining & Manufacturing: Equipped with CNC milling machines, machining centers, EDM and other equipment, mold cavity machining precision reaches ±0.03mm, parting surface is precision ground to ensure foam pattern forming quality and avoid pattern deformation and damage.
  • Full-process Quality Control: Raw materials undergo material spectral analysis and mechanical property testing; mold processing process real-time monitors cutting parameters and heat treatment process; finished products pass dimensional accuracy testing and cavity surface quality inspection. Complete test reports are provided for each batch with traceable quality.
