Description of solution

CASTOR offers an automated screening software that analyzes CAD files to determine the 3D printability of parts in the Machinery industry, helping manufacturers decide when it is beneficial to use 3D printing over traditional manufacturing methods, in order to reduce costs. The software allows you to generate reports covering costs, lead times, and break-even calculations; additionally, it performs deep technical analysis and recommends the best materials, technology, and geometry for each 3D printed part, while identifying cost reduction opportunities and suggesting geometry changes to the part’s design. Finally, it connects you to providers who can print and supply the parts. These solutions accelerate your time to market and reduce manufacturing costs.

What is the value you bring to your customers?

Manufacturers already know that they can save time and money by using the benefits of industrial 3D printing; however, they face a tremendous challenge when it comes to figuring out which of their parts can be 3D printed efficiently and save costs. CASTOR’s screening software not only identifies the parts that are suitable for 3D printing, but it also tells you the best way to print them in order to maximize profits. Benefits include reducing the time to go through a very large list of parts, eliminating the costs associated with experts reviewing parts manually for 3D printability, reducing inventory management costs for parts qualified for 3D printing by digitizing your inventory, 3D printing spare parts on-demand, and freeing up congestion in supply chain and sourcing parts in other means (additive manufacturing). This has resulted in reliability 50% case avoidance, efficiency up to 25% cost savings, yield increase up to 10% NPI 2% HVM Speed from weeks to days NPI, TTM, RCA
