Precision Ceramic 3D Printing for Modern Foundries
The production of foundry cores has long been constrained by complex tooling and lengthy lead times, limiting agility and design possibilities. Prodways’ ceramic 3D printing technology changes the game—enabling the direct fabrication of intricate, high-performance cores with exceptional speed and precision.
With our CERAM PRO printers powered by MOVINGLight®, manufacturers can produce dimensionally stable, high-resolution parts that meet even the most demanding casting standards. This streamlined process cuts tooling costs, shortens development cycles, and accelerates time-to-cast.
Print complex, tool-free ceramic cores with internal channels, undercuts, and intricate shapes previously impossible or costly to produce.
Shorten lead times from months to weeks—ideal for prototyping, R&D, or low-volume production where agility and precision are essential.
Achieve compatibility with high-performance casting processes, including Single Crystal (SX) parts.

Additive manufacturing is redefining how foundry industry design and produce ceramic cores. With Prodways’ technology, complex core designs are printed directly from a digital model, eliminating traditional tooling, mold assembly, and long setup time.
Unlike sand print foundries material printing or binder jetting solutions, our ceramic process delivers high precision, dimensional stability, and consistent quality for demanding industrial castings, including iron and high-temperature applications.
Using a 3D printer for foundry cores, manufacturers gain unmatched flexibility in prototyping, serial production, and design iteration—cutting lead time, reducing cost, and streamlining operations from design to casting.
The result: faster production, fewer constraints, and a smarter approach to modern foundry manufacturing with a reliable 3D printer for foundry cores.
FAQ
What are the main advantages of ceramic 3D printed cores compared to traditional sand cores?
Ceramic printed cores offer higher precision, smoother surfaces, and greater resistance to high temperatures than traditional sand cores. They remove the need for complex tooling and mold assembly, while enabling complex internal channels and designs that are difficult or impossible to make with conventional foundry processes.
How does ceramic additive manufacturing improve lead time in foundry operations?
By printing cores directly from a digital model, foundries eliminate tooling production and manual assembly steps. This drastically shortens lead time—from months to weeks, making ceramic 3D printing ideal for prototyping, low-volume production, and fast design validation.
Is ceramic 3D printing suitable for serial production or only prototyping?
Both. While ceramic 3D printing is a powerful tool for prototyping and R&D, it is also well-suited for serial production of complex parts where precision, repeatability, and flexibility are critical. This makes it a strong manufacturing solution beyond one-off models.
Which casting processes are compatible with Prodways’ ceramic cores?
Prodways’ ceramic cores are compatible with high-performance casting processes, including investment casting, iron castings, and Single Crystal (SX) applications. The material quality and process stability meet industrial standards for demanding foundry environments.
How does Prodways’ technology ensure consistent quality and precision?
Prodways printers and 3D printers for foundry cores use high-resolution MOVINGLight® technology combined with an open material platform. This ensures precise control over the printing process, stable ceramic cores, and consistent quality across industrial production runs—without surprises.
