Cast-Designer V7.8: Introducing Smart Runner for Automated Gating System Design

【Hong Kong–15thJULY, 2022】 C3P Software, a leading provider of CAX & PLM solutions for industrial manufacturing processes, announced today the release of the latest version of their design, simulation, and optimization solution for casting industries - Cast-Designer V7.8. \n\nIntroducing Smart Runner\nAn effectively designed gating system is crucial in achieving uniform filling of molten metal into the mold cavity, reducing turbulence and air entrapment, minimizing porosity and shrinkage, and achieving optimal solidification control. The Cast-Designer software from C3P group allows users to create, analyze, optimize, and visualize gating systems based on their specific geometries and requirements, while also simulating the entire die casting process including filling, solidification, and cooling.\n\nIn the latest version, Cast-Designer V7.8, C3P software has introduced a new feature called "Smart Runner" to its package. This innovative function can automatically generate runner systems for even the most complex gating system designs. By utilizing advanced algorithms and machine learning technology, the Smart Runner function analyzes the geometry of the gating system and generates optimal runner designs based on user-defined criteria such as pressure drop, flow rate, and cavity balance. This automated approach ensures greater accuracy, consistency, and reliability in the gating system design process, while saving engineers significant time and effort. Compared to manual design, this innovative feature speeds up the process by 20 times and provides superior results for die casting engineers.
