Video: Validate The Manufacturability Of Cast Metal Components At An Early Stage

"The beauty of this release is that it includes additional, advanced simulation capabilities without complicating the carefully thought-out user experience," said Ravi Kunju, vice president of manufacturing solutions for solid thinking. "Manufacturers are developing increasingly powerful cast products in lightweight construction and Click2Cast is an ideal solution for quickly examining the manufacturability of their modern designs and implementing changes very early in the design process, thus minimizing production risks."
The main innovations in Click2Cast 4.0 include:
- Simple process template for investment casting (also known as precision casting or lost wax casting)
- Easy modeling of inserts, cooling fins, bushings and various materials for multiple molds
- Improved visualization of porosity including area cuts
- Newly integrated FEA networking for improved geometry acquisition
Click2Cast is part of the Solidthinking Suite for production simulation, which also includes the Click2Extrude solutions for metal and polymer extrusion and Click2Form for sheet metal forming.
A typical workflow with Click2Cast is shown on the Solidthinking website and explained in the video:
