Resand expands to Italy with electric sand reclaimer

Resand Ltd, a Finnish technology company specializing in foundry sand regeneration, has achieved another milestone in expanding its presence in Europe. In December 2024, Resand signed an agreement with an Italian partner CORSA3D, for the cutting-edge electric sand reclaimer for the regeneration and recycling of sand used in 3D printing.

The Italian foundry market is increasingly prioritizing sustainability. With growing awareness of environmental concerns and a strong commitment to reducing waste, Italian foundries are exploring advanced methods to optimize resource utilization. Resand's electric sand reclaimer is at the forefront of this movement, providing a game-changing solution for the foundry industry. The e-reclaimer unit is a modular system that is quick and customer-friendly for the foundry to install and commission, with a delivery time of only 4–5 months.

With the electrically powered reclaimer, CO₂ emissions from the use of new sand and associated transportation can be reduced by up to 70%. When using renewable energy, the reclaimer's direct greenhouse gas emissions, i.e. Scope 1 emissions, remain low. After regeneration, the sand can be used again and again in 3D printing and foundry processes, effectively reducing the need for virgin sand.

CORSA3D is a division of Slayer Blades, representative of ExOne offering an innovative approach backed by extensive experience in 3D printing and additive manufacturing, particularly in sand core and mold production for sand casting. “Our strategy is to look into all game-changing solutions within the foundry industry and to be at the forefront of bringing these innovations to market. Resand is the first supplier to reclaim the 3D printing sand and reuse it in the process. Resand’s e-reclaimer represents a breakthrough in circular economy and efficiency, and we are proud to introduce it to Italy,” says Elena Scattolin, CEO, Slayer Blades Srl.

“I'm very delighted about our entry into the Italian market. This marks our first agreement in Italy, where our customer will play an important role in promoting our solution in the market as well. With this milestone, we continue to drive innovation in the European foundry market, contributing to a more sustainable future for the foundry industry,” says Kalle Härkki, CEO, Resand Ltd.
