Abstract With the development of the powder bed 3D printing process, sand casting can be performed with methods that are more advanced than the traditional ones, thus enabling new research on applied materials. When sand is 3D-printed with cement as a binder, its casting performance is improved and sufficient thermal stability of conventional organic and inorganic binders is ensured. In this study, to ensure high resolution and strength in a physical and simple mixture of cement and sand, the compatibility for casting was confirmed using submicron-level cement with ingredients and sizes similar to commercial sand, which is uniformly controlled at 4 mu m, instead of conventional sand. To enable quick 3D printing, calcium aluminate cement, which has quick binding properties, was used for high-temperature casting. The strength up to 6 h after hydration was compared to determine the curing rate of silica, mullite, and alumina sand containing cement components. By investigating the change in strength due to heat treatment and comparing the adhesion drop test results after powder bed formation, the material containing silica sand was determined as the most suitable for powder layer 3D printing for application to the mold.
