FAQ
Below you will find answers to the most common questions we are asked about CASTOR - the manufacturers’ gateway for 3D printing. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us.
General
1. What types of files does CASTOR support and are files uploaded as an assembly?
We want to help manufacturers save time and money by unlocking the benefits of industrial 3D printing.
Beyond Boundaries
Widening the adoption of Additive Manufacturing in the Aerospace Industry
Optimizing Manufacturing with Industrial AM Software
CASTOR's software automates part screening and highlights those that are suitable for Additive Manufacturing. It runs an analysis on a full BOM or assembly containing thousands of parts and highlights areas for cost-effective and sustainable AM opportunities.
Cost, Lead time and CO2 Emission saving
-Identify opportunities to shorten lead time, manufacture on demand and manage digital inventory.
-Reveal opportunities to reduce CO2 emissions and enhance sustainability through the use of AM.
Weight Reduction potential
Reduce overall aircraft weight and improve fuel efficiency
Automatically identify weight reduction opportunities and receive automated redesign solutions for light weight structures with internal lattice structures.
Design Optimization Opportunities
Automatically identify part consolidation opportunities while considering constraints such as Threads/Thin walls/small holes/Tolerances detection
