## Core Mixing Principles of SATEC 3D Printing High-Intensity Sand Mixer for Foundry Sand
? **Sand mixing principle**: The high-speed rotating agitator drives the intense convective mixing of foundry sand, binder and curing agent in the mixing barrel. The shape, size and rotation speed of the agitator are precisely calibrated to ensure uniform material distribution, providing stable forming performance for 3D printed sand molds.
? **Temperature control principle**: Equipped with a hot air heating device and stirring temperature sensor, it real-timely monitors the sand temperature in the barrel and intelligently adjusts the temperature and flow of hot air to achieve constant temperature control of sand, ensuring the bonding and curing effect of foundry sand.

## SATEC 3D Printing Sand Mold Six-Step Workflow – Efficient Foundry in One Go!
1. **Model Design**: Precisely draw the 3D sand mold model with CAD software to match the structural requirements of castings.
2. **Slicing Processing**: Slice the model layer by layer to generate exclusive printing paths and process parameters.
3. **Precise Sand Mixing**: SATEC high-intensity sand mixer mixes sand particles and binder in a fixed ratio for maximum uniformity.
4. **Layer-by-Layer Printing**: The 3D printing system stacks materials layer by layer, and the binder cures to form the sand mold.
5. **Strengthening & Curing**: Process the sand mold with a special curing device to enhance its strength and meet foundry standards.
6. **Fine Cleaning**: Remove residual sand and binder on the surface, and the finished sand mold is ready for casting.
