The Foundry of the Future: 3D Printing for Cores

Written by admin on 16 February 2026. Posted in 01 Research and Development, 04 Palmieri news.

At Fonderie Palmieri, the new 3D core printing technology based on the ExOne system (Binder Jetting) is now officially operational.
A strategic investment that represents a tangible technological leap: directly from CAD files, we produce complex cores with no geometric constraints.
Layer by layer, a sand bed is selectively solidified using a chemical binder, allowing perfectly formed cores—ready for pouring—to be produced in just a few hours, including internal geometries that were previously impossible to achieve.

For our customers, this means:
– complete design freedom
– rapid prototyping and pre-series production
– reduced time-to-market
– elimination of complex core assemblies.

3D printing applied to core manufacturing improves not only flexibility, but also casting quality, thanks to a finer and more controlled surface finish.
A concrete bridge between foundry tradition and process digitalization, positioning Fonderie Palmieri among the most advanced foundries in Italy.
