Over the past two years, more than 30,000 manufacturing parts or assemblies have been uploaded to the CASTOR platform, providing a unique perspective on how parts are being designed and their suitability for AM.
CASTOR’s software enables manufacturers to automatically analyze CAD files of parts and assemblies and realize when Additive Manufacturing makes sense from both a technical and economical point of view.
Through CASTOR’s analysis of thousands of real-life and real-time manufacturing projects, the “2021 Additive Manufacturing Trend Report” offers insights into geometry issues, material compatibility, cost savings and the use of DfAM tools in ways that have not been documented before. For example, CASTOR’s analyses show that only 10% of parts can be technically and economically printed without any design changes.
In this industry report, you will find key industry insights, such as:
- When can AM save costs vs. traditional manufacturing, and how to identify the potential savings per production?
- How many parts can be printable, and what are the top reasons for parts’ unprintability?
- How common is it to find weight reduction and parts consolidation opportunities within your projects?
