Case Study: Leading Pump Manufacturer achieves 75%+ cost savings and dramatically faster spare-part production with ExOne

Save Significant Time and Cost in Spare Part Production

Leading Pump Manufacturer needed to quickly and economically produce complex prototypes and spare parts to meet tight production schedules. They partnered with ExOne and used ExOne’s digital part materialization/printed sand components to create complex molds and cores directly from CAD data.

ExOne printed sand molds and cores that were assembled into complete pump packages for multiple applications, cutting lead times from several weeks to 30 minutes–48 hours and reducing costs by over 75% (traditional costs €8,000–40,000 per lot vs. ExOne’s €240–10,000 per part). ExOne’s process eliminated pattern tooling and storage needs while delivering accurate, ready-to-cast parts, significantly accelerating development and lowering total production cost.
