Technology in the service of quality
Fonderie Palmieri, a leading company in the production of cast iron components, has recently invested in 3D printing technology to enhance its manufacturing processes.
The company has chosen the ExOne Binder Jetting 3D printer for the production of complex cores directly from CAD files, without geometric constraints, ensuring flawless castings.
3D printing technology enables:
- reduced production costs
- shorter lead times
- improved casting quality
Fonderie Palmieri produces:
- grey cast iron
- ductile (spheroidal) cast iron
- special cast irons
Meeting the needs of the most demanding customers.
Complex geometries without design limits
Today, thanks to 3D printing applied to cores, it is possible to create complex internal geometries that were previously difficult, if not impossible, to achieve with traditional methods.
The sand is processed with precision and control, transforming layer by layer into highly detailed internal shapes, starting directly from the digital model.
Concrete advantages for design and production
From a technical standpoint, this approach leads to two key benefits:
- Greater design freedom, without compromising manufacturability
- Reduced production cycles, thanks to the elimination of intermediate steps, tooling, and assembly processes
A strategic investment for growth
The investment in 3D printing is part of the company’s development plan, aimed at:
- increasing competitiveness
- improving production efficiency
- meeting the demands of an increasingly advanced market
It is a clear example of how technology can concretely support industrial growth and innovation.
Real innovation, not just for show
This is not a “surface-level” revolution, but a transformation that originates from the very core of the production process.
