Casting a Racecar Cylinder Head - Complete Process

In this video, we are showing you how do we manufacture a race car engine.
It was cast in 3D printed sand core, GOM, and CT scanned afterward.

Amazing metal casting process.

This kind of work would be my dream job! No words can describe how excited and happy I would be showing up early Monday morning.

Good job, i would've loved to see how they made the mould in Sand also

Video mais completo sobre fundição do youtube. Congratulations 👏

What software program was used for the fluid simulation at 0:59 ? Very cool. Thanks for a great video.

Nice. Can a pushrod hemispherical cast iron variant be made for a GM 3800 V6 with 2 plugs and valves per cylinder?

[wiktorhogberg]

Very good video. But I wonder, do you have to take into consideration the thermal properties of aluminum when casting?

I have been wanting to design and cast aluminum heads for racing applications for some time now but I don't know how to work with aluminum really.

[watahyahknow]

wouldve loved to see how they made the more intricate sandmoulds, like the one for the coolant passages and the ports

[dekonfrost]

I jave a job like this coming up. Gonna be fun. Your aluminum looked reallly good. Old honda heads for feedstock and vacuum degassing?

[khajasyed-xokx]

are those boss on top to give expanison a direction or what

[robertfontaine]

From what I can tell most racecar heads are machined from billet. What is the reason for casting then machining?

[lionelhaslam]

The skill is in the pattern making.Making sand cores is just filling boxes with sand then stacking them in the correct sequence.

[paradiselost]

the way that simulation on the fill worked, and how it actually did work with the slag all coming up in the final central riser...

iunno if this was a middle finger to every pattern maker since the bronze age, or if it was a tribute... that was magic. at first im like... wtf is that coruscation? oh. tis the nasties all forced up and out...

[carvior]

Con este método se podria fabrica el block motor de una motocicleta, que alumio usan me pregunto?

[Filholh]

Would you do a single cilinder head for the Honda XL250R 1983?

[AgungJono-zn]

What tools are needed to make something like this

[automan]

what would a head half this size complete to casting minus CNC finish work cost for a custom design based on an existing engine ?

[nhragold]

What race car is running those tiny valves, and ports!?

[shantisadan]

Won't there be sand trapped in cooling jackets ?

[vincenzo_]

How much does it cost??? Kinda curious.

Hello, are the 2 dark grey parts made using 3d printed sand mold/cores ?
