Abstract:Traditional casting industries are losing their appeal due to poor working conditions. Combining casting with additive manufacturing is a popular solution, with binder jetting being the best option for sand mold printing. However, waste management and environmental concerns in binder jetting need to be addressed. This study shows that recycled sand can produce mechanical properties comparable to new sand, while reducing waste and environmental impact. Recycled sand used less binder and hardener, resulting in c… Show more
