Technology & Products
Key Products
3D Sand Mold & Core Printing Services; Industrial Sand 3D Printers (S800/S1000/S2000/S4000 series); Casting Process Design & Simulation; Finished Casting Production; Equipment Sales & After-Sales Training
Technological Advantage
CLAIMED: Leading production scale for 3D sand printing in China with end-to-end service capability. VERIFIED: Operates multiple large-format sand 3D printers (S-series) and offers integrated casting simulation and production. DEFENSIBILITY: Process integration and scale create switching costs for foundry clients.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Eliminates traditional pattern-making costs and reduces sand mold production lead times from weeks to days, enabling on-demand casting production with complex geometries and lower per-part costs for low-to-medium volume runs.
How They Differentiate
Operates as an integrated service bureau rather than pure hardware vendor, combining large-format sand printing with in-house casting simulation and production to deliver finished parts, offering faster turnaround and lower tooling costs compared to traditional foundry methods.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Foundries, automotive OEMs, heavy machinery manufacturers, and aerospace component producers requiring rapid prototyping and short-run casting.
Industry Verticals
Automotive; Aerospace; Heavy Machinery; Pumps & Valves; General Foundry
