Why, Chinese foundry enterprises, abandoned overseas 3D printing sand?

丨At present, the global casting market competition is particularly motivated by various factors. Buyers put forward higher requirements for the quality of casting products. Some foundry companies have upgraded their production processes, and some of them have chosen to use 3D printing to produce high-end casting products.

丨In this process, high-end 3D printing sand products have been monopolized by overseas products. The high price of overseas 3D printing sand products and the instability of overseas supply have caused these companies that are committed to improving the competitiveness of casting products through 3D printing technology to fall into a deep confusion!

丨How to reduce the cost of high-end 3D printing sand, and at the same time, to ensure the stability of supply, has become an industry problem! How to solve this problem has become a prerequisite for determining whether Chinese foundry companies can be competitive and have the right to speak in the industry in 3D printing technology!

丨"We must cut down the cost of high-end 3D printing sand. China has high-quality wind-accumulated sand and high-silica sand products, which can become high-quality raw materials for high-end 3D printing sand. As long as the technology is excellent, we can foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, give full play to our own advantages, realize the localization of high-end 3D printing sand, and make Chinese foundry enterprises use lower prices, domestic high-end 3D printing sand with better quality is definitely not a dream"-Lianxin Casting Sand Group was full of confidence at the beginning of the localization of innovative high-end 3D printing sand!

丨In order to promote the listing of domestic high-end 3D printing sand as soon as possible, Lianxin Casting Sand Group has jointly developed with Shenyang Foundry Research Institute. After two years of research and development, it has experienced hundreds of experiments and has continuously made breakthroughs and upgrades in technology. Finally, it successfully developed a high-end 3D printing sand product made in China in 2021. The product was introduced to the market in March 2021. In just a few months, it has gained a lot of market praise.

Case oneA high-end casting manufacturer in Liaoning

丨The company is well-known throughout the country, specializing in the production and research and development of high-end casting products, products are mainly used in military, aviation and other high-end fields.

丨Before the enterprise, it has been using German 3D printing sand. The arrival price of German sand is about 2200 yuan. It will be transported from the port to the enterprise, plus freight.

丨The company feels that although the price is relatively high, they can add this price to the casting products. Although their casting buyers have also accepted the price at present, the company is still very worried. If the cost of castings of similar quality comes down in the market, they may face the loss of customers.

丨At the same time, due to overseas procurement of 3D printing sand, to face various uncertainties in the logistics process, and nearly a year of global epidemic, but also really let the enterprise, once because of logistics problems, facing production instability.

丨When the company learned about the quality of Lianxin 3D printing sand, it invited the first time to try Lianxin 3D printing sand products. After the trial, the indicators are better than the German 3D printing sand. For example, the tensile strength of Lianxin 3D printing sand is higher than that of German sand with the same 1.4% resin and 0.25% curing agent. At the same time, the joint letter 3D printing sand sand uniform, high strength. However, the production base of Lianxin 3D printing sand is located in Zhangwu, Liaoning Province, China, and the supply is very stable.

丨What satisfies the company most is that the price of Lianxin 3D printing sand is only about half of the price of German 3D printing sand. This has caused the company to worry about the high cost of 3D printing sand, which makes the casting cost high and the cooperation of casting buyers unstable. The doubts have really been fundamentally resolved.

Case II

A 3D printing equipment in Guangdongproduction enterprise

丨The company is committed to the R & D and manufacturing of 3D printing equipment, the sales of various consumables for 3D printing, and the research and development of 3D printing rapid manufacturing specializing in complex parts. It has provided 3D printing equipment, parts and related products and services to more than 500 domestic enterprises. The industries involved include automobiles, military industry, aerospace, ships, pumps and valves, new energy, diversion transportation, construction machinery, mining machinery and many other fields.

丨The company used Japanese CB sand before, the quality can be, but the price is as high as about 10000 yuan. Because there was no similar product that could compete with it in China before, I felt that Japan's CB sand was the demand of domestic enterprises and the price was set very high. And this gap between supply and demand, making the price of CB sand in Japan is always high.

丨For the enterprise, such a high price, but also let the enterprise to open up the market encountered a lot of trouble. Because some foundry companies, due to financial problems, can buy 3D printing equipment, but they can't afford such expensive sand raw materials.

丨At the same time, the Japanese CB sand from overseas, affected by various factors, the stability of supply has been deeply troubled.

丨When the enterprise learned that Lianxin Casting Sand Group and Shenyang Foundry Research Institute had jointly developed domestic high-end 3D printing products, it was eager to try Lianxin 3D printing sand products.

丨The test results show that the tensile strength of Lianxin 3D printing sand is the same as that of CB sand with the same 1.8% resin and 0.45% curing agent. Other indicators are also very good, casting quality is as good as ever.

丨What the company recognizes most is that the factory price of Lianxin 3D printing sand can reach about 1700 yuan, which reduces the purchase cost of 3D printing sand by more than five times.

丨This cost reduction makes the company confident in the market expansion of 3D printing equipment. Because, for companies that purchase 3D printing equipment, the sensitivity to the quality and price of the supporting 3D printing sand must be greater than the price sensitivity to 3D printing equipment.

丨For companies that purchase 3D printing equipment, in future production, the quality and price of 3D printing sand determine the value and profit that the purchase of 3D printing equipment can really create for the company.

丨At the same time, the stable supply of Lianxin 3D printing sand in China has also made the enterprise confident in its long-term cooperation in using Lianxin 3D printing sand products. Because, Lianxin 3D printing sand has really solved the problem of unstable supply of overseas products before.

丨"Higher quality and lower price" is undoubtedly an important standard for casting purchasing enterprises and casting suppliers. The 3D printing sand raw material products with "higher quality and lower price" are precisely the prerequisites for ensuring that casting manufacturers can produce casting products with "higher quality and lower price.

丨The first company to adopt the "higher quality, lower price" 3D printing sand products of Lianxin may be the one that attracted more casting buyers......
