Business Director of 3D Printing
It is hard to outline specific rules to identify which parts are suitable for additive manufacturing. CASTOR’s software is one of those tools that can make the difference in the decision-making process.
Moses Pezarkar
Manufacturing Engineer
CASTOR played a fundamental role in the process which led to the incorporation of of Stanley Black & Decker's first 3D-printed metal production part. By analyzing the part using CASTOR’s software, we were able to reduce its lead time from 8 weeks to 9 days and decrease the cost by 50%

The biggest challenge that most companies have today is not deciding if they want to do Additive Manufacturing, the biggest challenge is understanding how and where to implement it and that is where CASTOR comes in.
