The visualization of the results offers the possibility to understand the behaviour of the material (and air at different percentage), with a lot of physical variable (not only classical physical value as temperature, velocity or pressure, but other information about oxidationy, filling time map, shrinkage, and other). The user can also customize new layer visualization simply using maths operators. With the complete filling of the mould this software calculates also the solidification stage. Castle is being continuously improved to introduce new functions and reduce working time. > > **Cons**: There is nothing of significance to report > > Castle is an efficient tool to find the causes of porosity, temperature and velocity issues or other defect that may affect the quality of the parts, the moulds or process. ----- ### "PiQ2 and Eurotranciatura" — 5.0/5 > **Oscar** | *8 June 2021* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: For our company a fundamental function is the Mind, thanks to which we can check which process is best suited to the new product in the Feasibility phase. Castle is a very friendly use program and thanks to that we are able to use it daily . Castle become a starting point in any new and / or process changes. "Run" and" Body" help us during the design of new tools and in the improvement of the existing tools. > > **Cons**: "when we bought Castle" we had some initial difficulties because our cold chamber process has some peculiarities not so common in general die-casting. We worked together with the assistance to develop and fit the software on our particular features. > > It is an excellent tool to improve and deepen our knowledge on the process and a big help on the design and validation of new processes. ----- ### "CASTLE-FACILE ED INTUITIVO" — 5.0/5 > **Giorgio** | *7 June 2021* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: L'innovazione continua degli aggiornamenti e la possibilità di visualizzare aria interna ed esterna del pezzo da modellare. > > **Cons**: Come tutti i nuovi software non sempre risulta facile comprendere il feed back delle informazioni processate, ma dopo un po' di pratica e con l'ottimo supporto post-vendita anche le minime difficoltà incontrate si dissipano. > > Ottimo prodotto facile ed intuitivo, durante la fiera di Euroguss siamo andati alla ricerca di un software che incontrasse meglio le esigenze della nostra azienda sia dal punto di vista qualitativo sia dal punto di vista dell'investimento economico. Avendo vagliati diversi software di competitor esistenti sul mercato, Castle offre tante prestazioni che abbracciano diverse esigenze aziendali tra le quali il costo di esercizio del programma. Abbiamo avuto la possibilità di confrontare i nostri risultati di simulazione con altri prodotti da software del settore più conosciuti ed i risultati collimano. in sintesi Castle massima resa a contenuta spesa. ----- ### "Great 3D CAD Software" — 5.0/5 > **Mirko** | *12 May 2022* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the key features I found very useful was the opportunity to change the parameters during the analysis to test for different conditions in process which further helped to identify the best fit for my application. The cost when compared to other 3D CAD software was very competitive and a massive plus as a private user. > > **Cons**: At this moment and time I have no negative to report. > > Overall my experience has been nothing but positive. The versatility of this software for the price you pay is unmatched. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/217475/castle?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/217475/castle) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | ----- ## Structured Data
