In 3D sand printing, everything depends on the effectiveness of the sand foundries use. The selection of silica sand requires the understanding of how it will impact printing operation. A minor deviation of the print media can have a large impact on the final printing outcome. The iterative creation process must be repeatable under many different environmental conditions, from the first to last layer, that are present in small to medium foundries to be successful, all while trying to use the most cost-effective printing media available.

INCAST 3D contains high-purity, round, 99%+ quartz sand that is pH neutral. The low turbidity and superior roundness ensure pack density for accurate layer-by-layer binder jetting that creates complex cores and molds with superior surface finish.
