DDR&D and CASTOR – Driving Efficiency in Defense Manufacturing

​

DDR&D, a leading organization in the defense sector, partnered with CASTOR to leverage cutting-edge manufacturing optimization software. CASTOR’s powerful platform analyzes CAD files and 2D technical drawings of low-volume, high-mix product designs to identify parts suitable for cost optimization.

​

The software’s algorithm streamlines cost reduction by suggesting alternative manufacturing methods, materials, and design adjustments while factoring in material properties, geometry, and detailed cost estimations. This innovative approach empowers organizations like DDR&D to simplify complex manufacturing processes and achieve significant cost savings without compromising on quality or precision.

​

In this mutual project, CASTOR will automatically analyze thousands of parts at once, saving significant time and effort for DDR&D engineers to identify opportunities for redesign, including parts consolidation and weight reduction, while enabling smarter and more efficient manufacturing decisions.

​

"When DDR&D chose us for this innovative project, we demonstrated how advanced software solutions can drive efficiency, and reduce costs, at one of the world’s most demanding industries out there”. Omer Blaier, CASTOR’s CEO & Co-Founder.

​

We are proud to have collaborated with DDR&D and extend our gratitude to their exceptional team for their trust and cooperation. Together, we’ve proven that manufacturing optimization is a game-changer in achieving operational excellence.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
