On the other hand, dry sand casting employs a mixture of sand and binding agents, which is typically set in a dry condition. The molds are built up without the addition of water, which leads to a firmer structure once the binders cure. Dry sand casting is often used for producing high-quality, precision parts.

The quality of castings can be significantly enhanced through the use of additive manufacturing. With the capability to create more precise and complex mold geometries, manufacturers can achieve tighter tolerances and better surface finishes in their final products. This leads to improved mechanical properties and a higher overall quality of the cast parts. The elimination of traditional alignment issues associated with pattern making also enhances consistency and reliability in production.

Stainless steel sand casting finds applications across various industries. In the automotive sector, it is used to manufacture parts such as brackets and housings. The aerospace industry utilizes sand-cast stainless steel components for engine parts and structural elements due to their weight-to-strength ratio and heat resistance. Additionally, in the marine industry, stainless steel castings are essential for ship fittings and other components exposed to saltwater, where corrosion resistance is critical.
