CASTOR introduces a free trial version of its automatic part identification software

CASTOR, an industrial manufacturing software for automatic part identification, is now available for a free trial. The company has launched a free trial version, allowing potential customers to explore the capabilities of the software.

CASTOR’s software solves the challenge of identifying where, when, and how to utilize the benefits of Additive Manufacturing, by automating the process of screening parts and highlighting the parts that make a good business case for Additive Manufacturing.

Automatically identify opportunities for Additive Manufacturing 
With CASTOR’s free trial, users can gain the ability to analyze and determine the Additive Manufacturing potential and benefits of a selected part. This opportunity enables them to understand how the software's analysis can empower them to make informed decisions based on a deep analysis. The deep analysis considers material properties, cost-effectiveness, digital supply chain benefits and environmental benefits. It recommends optimal combinations of 3D printers and printable materials based on specific part requirements. It estimates production costs, lead times, Co2 emission saving and gives a visualizing break-even point between the manufacturing methods. Given the insights provided by the software, users can confidently select the right technology with the right material and realize the value that AM offers.

Accelerating the AM transition 
The automatic process enables engineers to identify suitable parts for AM in seconds, accelerating the evaluation process and reducing time-to-market for AM projects. “Our mission is to help every engineer reduce the time and effort required to identify the opportunities for Additive Manufacturing” says Omer Blaier, Co-Founder & CEO of CASTOR. “Through the Trial, we want to enable every engineer experience the value of our software firsthand”

CASTOR’S Full version - Identifying suitable parts for Additive manufacturing. At Scale
In the world of Additive Manufacturing, time is of the essence. The process of selecting the optimal parts for 3D printing out of thousands of parts can be time-consuming.

CASTOR's software has the ability to analyze thousands of parts at once and identify the opportunities where Additive Manufacturing makes sense, from a technical, economical, and sustainable point of view. CASTOR provides a wide range of advanced capabilities and offers multiple tools, both for new adopters and for Additive Manufacturing experts. It enables users to improve efficiency by finding weight reduction and part consolidation opportunities. The advanced capabilities include the ability to run a quick assessment of a part’s likelihood to failure, using a unique, tailored to AM, Finite Elements Analysis.
