Flow Solidification & Optimization of Castings
Solid Modeling
Casting Simulation Software
SOLIDCast’s user friendly software simulates multiple casting types with rich features, accounting for variables in sand, investment, and permanent mold castings. Design gates, risers and test them out before making your first casting. Solidification modeling helps to shorten lead times, produce higher quality and improve yield. All of this means lower costs, higher profits and improved marketability for our clients’ foundries.
Accurate Design
The ONLY system that includes both Gating and Riser Design Wizards, so that simulation actually helps users design an effective rigging system, not just test one.
Casting Made Easy
SOLIDCast has many features to make simulating in any gravity-fed process a snap. Our software fine tunes simulations for sand casting, permanent mold, and investment casting.
Precise Simulations
SOLIDCast is the ONLY system that simultaneously calculates both thermal and volumetric changes during solidification, producing the most accurate shrinkage analysis available.
