A 3D printer has appeared in the steel casting shop of the KAMAZ Foundry Plant, which makes it possible to produce more high-precision rods that are used in the production of castings.
The new equipment has been installed at the 3D printing rod manufacturing section. A new room with a specific microclimate was specially prepared for it: the temperature is maintained in the range from 18 to 26 °C and humidity not more than 40%.
Currently, about 100 different rods are printed on the printer, which are mainly used in the production of castings for K5 generation KAMAZ vehicles. If necessary, adjustments are made to the 3D model in the program, including design changes, and technology is being developed. The updated rod can be received the very next day.
The rods are used in the non-ferrous and steel casting industries of the foundry plant. If necessary, rods are also made at the section for the production of cast iron.
