Connectivity saves effort, complexity, and time spent switching between tools, streamlining the entire process and bringing it together under one roof. Our cooperation with the CASTOR team helps organizations unlock the potential of 3D printing internally with immediate benefit.”
The integration allows users to scan all of their parts at once, estimate the printability of parts with their Ultimaker printer, calculate costs and lead times, and ultimately produce the parts directly with the digital factory. Ultimaker.
