Abstract: A process of strengthening 3D printed sand core for the casting of integral hydraulic multi-way valve and a sand core for integral hydraulic multi-way valve are provided. The process includes: creating a sand core model of a sand core for an integral hydraulic multi-way valve in three-dimensional software, analyzing parts of the sand core to determine a weak part of the sand core; designing a pore channel with a pore diameter and a length in the sand core model according to a ratio L/D of a length to a diameter of the weak part, and forming a reinforcing core bar according to the pore channel; and 3D printing the sand core according to the sand core model, placing the reinforcing core bar in the pore channel, and achieving tight connection of the reinforcing core bar and the sand core in the hardening or curing process of the sand core.
