3D Sand Printing Process — from design to completion

When you submit a design to Hoosier Pattern, ever wonder about the process of getting your molds and cores printed, cleaned, tested, and then delivered? In this article, we are taking a 2,000-foot view to show you our 3D Sand Printing process from design to completion. There's a lot to cover, so let's get started:

Design: To begin our process, you will submit your model, preferably a STEP or Parasolid file, to Hoosier Pattern for approval. The software we use for our CAD work is called Cimatron. To create the job boxes, we use a program called Netfabb. Our team will inspect your 3D model to make sure we do not see any issues before printing.
