CASTOR is focused on helping manufacturers realize the full potential of 3D printing.

Its technology allows manufacturers to reduce lead time, avoid costly spending on limited quantities, increase flexibility and supply chain reseliency, and improve sustainability.

The software helps engineers to decide whether 3D printing would be preferable to traditional manufacturing methods, by providing technical analysis and cost-saving advice for a full machine design.

With CASTOR's software, manufacturers can analyze parts technically and economically to identify opportunities for Additive Manufacturing and reach their manufacturing goals.

The software’s algorithms analyze 3D CAD files and 2D legacy files, sends an interactive report with insights and recommendations, and allows users to make smarter decisions based on the most suitable manufacturing process.

CASTOR's advanced capabilities form a unique value proposition, offering competitive advantages such as:• Automatic analysis of a large number of parts at once• Identifying consolidation of adjacent parts that make sense of combining into a single part• Identifying weight reduction opportunities and reducing the material waste of bulky parts• Quick assessment of a part’s Likelihood to Failure, using a unique, tailored to AM, finite elements analysis.The software is based on the feedback derived from more than 50,000 parts analyzed by more than 100 companies, including F-500 companies.

The company is backed by large speciality chemicals corporation Evonik and has partnerships with leading industry leaders such as Siemens Digital Industries Software.CASTOR's line of products includes CASTOR Light; the basic tier for AM new adopters wanting to find the low hanging fruits suitable for 3D printing out of existing designs, CASTOR Enterprise; the advanced re-design capabilities version, aiming at AM experts, and CASTOR White Label; a fully branded tailor-made platform, providing lead generation tools to enhance A
