Industrial manufacturing software company Castor has recently begun offering a free trial version of its automatic part identification software. This initiative aims to empower potential customers to delve into the capabilities of the software, which has proven instrumental in navigating the complexities of additive manufacturing.
Castor’s software addresses the challenge of identifying optimal opportunities for AM by automating the screening process, spotlighting parts that present a compelling business case for additive manufacturing. This tool has emerged as a key player in accelerating the transition to AM by providing engineers with the ability to swiftly identify suitable parts for 3D printing, thereby reducing time-to-market for AM projects.
The free trial unlocks the potential for users to analyze and determine the AM feasibility and benefits of selected parts. By leveraging the software’s robust analysis, engineers can make informed decisions considering factors such as material properties, cost-effectiveness, digital supply chain benefits, and environmental impacts.
Castor’s software goes beyond mere identification, recommending optimal combinations of 3D printers and printable materials based on specific part requirements. It estimates production costs, lead times, and CO2 emission savings, providing users with a comprehensive understanding of the potential benefits of adopting additive manufacturing.
As engineers explore the trial, they gain insights into how the software’s analysis can guide them in selecting the right technology with the right material, maximizing the value offered by AM. Omer Blaier, Castor’s co-founder, and CEO underscores the company’s mission to streamline the identification of additive manufacturing opportunities, emphasizing a commitment to reducing the time and effort required in the evaluation process.
Castor’s full version promises to revolutionize the identification of suitable parts for additive manufacturing at scale. With the ability to analyze thousands of parts simultaneously, the software offers advanced capabilities for both new adopters and AM experts, fostering efficiency improvements through weight reduction and part consolidation opportunities.
