Print a 9.5 meter sand mold at the same time! The largest adhesive 3D printer in the world helps wind power to accelerate

Best Things To 3D Print And Sell

On May 25, 2025, according to the Library of Resources, the VX9000 created by Voxeljet, the largest 3D adhesive jet printer in the world, recently successfully completed the printing of 20 super-light sand molds, each sand of sand can reach 9.5 meters in length, which is “Big Mac”. These sand molds have now entered the casting stage and will be used to make key metal parts in wind and hydroelectric fields in the future, by pressing the “acceleration button” for clean energy construction.


This equipment is a joint development result of Voxeljet, Ge Vernova and the Fraunhofer IGCV Institute in Germany. It is specially personalized to meet the high specification needs of GE in wind and hydroelectric projects. His R&D work has been supported by the American Department of Energy (DOE) with a total of 14.9 million dollars in special funds, and is part of the Advanced Foundry Unit (ACC) program, with the aim of promoting the implementation technology (NNS) of the training of Nex (NNS) training and accelerating the production and delivery of clean energy equipment.


Since its beginnings in 2021, the VX9000 has been included in the GE strategic system to support its next generation of wind energy technology-in particular the manufacture of Haliad-X Ultra-Large wind turbines. This turbine has just placed a world record not long ago, generating electricity up to 312 megawatts in 24 hours. Its central components are made of large sand molds printed by VX9000, which is a “behind the scenes”.
Compared to traditional manufacturing processes, VX9000 compresses the production cycle of the sand mold from 10 weeks to only 2 weeks, considerably improving efficiency. At the same time, it can reduce the cost of manufacturing hydroelectricity up to 20%, shortening the delivery cycle up to 4 months, really “accelerating and reducing costs”.
In recent years, with the improvement of the volume of the equipment and the precision of the printing, the 3D printing in the shape of sand gradually goes from the “rapid prototype” to “the mass production of functional molded pieces”, in particular suitable for large metal parts with high added value, narrow delivery cycles and complex structures.


In fact, sand 3D printing is more widely used in the automotive industry. We have previously pointed out that BMW Germany Landshut Foundry had deployed six 3D industrial grade 3D printing equipment for the production of molds of its new generation of six -cylinder engines. Tesla went further and works in depth with several 3D Sand-shaped 3D print companies to try to use the printing of jet adhesive to make giant mussels for “Super Die-Casting” to support its integrated vehicle casting strategy.
In addition to BMW and Tesla, more and more automobile traffic actively adopt 3D sand printing to meet the needs of casting of complex structural parts such as powertrain, motor boxes and cooling systems.


According to the resource database, the global range of technology suppliers mainly includes: Desktop Metal (and its subsidiary Exone), Markforged (and its subsidiary Metal), Germany Voxeljet, sharing Ningxia, Guangdong Fengua Zhuoli, etc.
