Cast-Designer 7.9 is the latest major release of Cast-Designer, a comprehensive CAD/CAE-integrated software suite developed by C3P Software (Hong Kong-based pioneer in CAX & PLM solutions since 2006). Released on August 8, 2024, it specializes in design, simulation, and optimization for the casting industry, including sand casting, die casting, gravity casting, and emerging processes like thixo-moulding. The software enables rapid Design for Manufacturing (DFM) assessments, defect prediction, and process optimization, helping OEMs reduce iterations, costs, and time-to-market. It’s widely used in automotive, aerospace, and machinery sectors for full-chain engineering—from gating system design to residual stress analysis. This version emphasizes user-friendly enhancements, multi-physics integration, and efficiency for large-scale models, building on V7.7 (2022) and V7.6 (2021). As of October 2025, it’s...

As the first casting design and analysis software on the market with a fully integrated CAD/CAE system, Cast-Designer has always been committed to creating an easy-to-use, efficient and flexible system. Now, the view cube in the main view integrates 26 preset views to greatly simplify view operations; the exploded view of assemblies helps users check the details of assemblies more flexibly; and the user-defined view saving can quickly restore the view for precise positioning. In addition, in the target tree, by clicking the right mouse button, the corresponding shortcut function can greatly speed up the operation. Enhanced casting system design function In order to improve the CAD quality of the sprue system generation, the method of runner generation has been...
