- Abstract
Process innovation through smart factory strategies is urgently needed in the flow of digital transformation, not just automation. As customer needs become diverse and industrial structures become more complex, production volume per item is rapidly decreasing. According to these market changes, interest in 3D printing is increasing. In this paper, novel methodologies for merging sand 3D printing technology into metal casting processes for foundry innovation were proposed. To see how effective the new approach is, we actually applied it to the mass production process of a medium-speed engine piston. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach that can increase productivity, improve quality, and reduce production costs.
