The integration enables users to scan all of their parts at once, estimate the printability of parts with their Ultimaker printer, calculate the costs and lead time, and ultimately produce the parts directly with Ultimaker’s Digital Factory.

​

Miguel Calvo, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Ultimaker:

"The integration of CASTOR with Ultimaker’s Platform allows users to directly export parts from CASTOR to the Ultimaker Digital Factory and seamlessly complete the process of 3D printing in-house. The connectivity saves effort, complexity and time spent switching between tools, streamlining the whole process and bringing it all under one roof. Our cooperation with the CASTOR team helps organizations unlock the potential of 3D printing in-house with immediate benefit".
