What Is SOLIDCast?
SOLIDCast is a cloud-based manufacturing platform that simulates the entire casting process from mold fill to solidification for sand, investment, and permanent‑mold castings by modelling thermal transfer, volumetric shrinkage, and flow behavior. It imports 3D models, applies alloys, molds, and gate systems, then computes solidification paths, hot‑spots, and defect zones to inform design changes. The platform also helps foundry engineers visualize defects, optimize gating and risers, and reduce the need for costly trial castings.

Who Is SOLIDCast For?
SOLIDCast is suitable for the following sectors:
- Foundries
- Casting
- Manufacturing
Is SOLIDCast Right For You?
SOLIDCast software is suitable for businesses aiming to reduce casting defects, shorten lead times and optimize gating and risering designs through simulation rather than trial‑and‑error. It provides extensive modules and supports various casting processes to improve yield, quality, and cost. The platform also enables simulation of thermal and volumetric changes and better decision support for tooling and process design.

SOLIDCast Features
SOLIDCast simulates how molten metal will fill, solidify and shrink in sand, investment and permanent‑mould castings by modelling thermal and material‑volume behaviour. It offers rigging‑wizards for gating and risering to guide foundry engineers toward better feed‑path designs.
The software allows automated optimization of initial casting designs through iterative modifications of design variables such as riser size, pouring time or gating geometry. It works in conjunction with SOLIDCast models to find best‑yield configurations for gating and solidification.
The system calculates simultaneous thermal heat‑transfer throughout the casting and feeding system. It tracks shrinkage by combining temperature and volume loss criteria into predictive outputs for feeding adequacy and casting integrity.
