Altair Inspire Cast™

Altair Inspire Cast is a manufacturing simulation software focused on analysing and validating metal casting processes. It helps engineers and designers simulate casting behaviour digitally to identify potential defects before production.

Altair Inspire Cast is used to simulate metal casting processes such as gravity casting and low-pressure casting. Engineers use it to evaluate how molten metal fills a mould, solidifies, and cools during the casting process.

Altair Inspire Cast helps identify common casting defects such as shrinkage porosity, air entrapment, cold shuts, and incomplete filling. This allows engineers to address issues early in the design or process planning stage.

Altair Inspire Cast supports manufacturability by allowing engineers to assess whether a part can be successfully cast before tooling is created. This helps reduce trial-and-error during production and supports better casting design decisions.

Altair Inspire Cast is commonly used by manufacturing engineers, foundry engineers, and product designers involved in metal casting processes. It is suited to teams responsible for validating cast part quality and process feasibility.

Altair Inspire Cast is designed to be used early in the design process. It allows engineers to evaluate casting feasibility and potential defects before finalising part geometry or investing in tooling.

Altair Inspire Cast is typically used during process planning and design validation stages. It helps teams assess casting performance before moving to physical trials or full-scale production.

Altair Inspire Cast helps reduce casting defects, supports better process understanding, and improves confidence in cast part quality. It enables digital validation of casting processes before manufacturing begins.

Altair Inspire Cast is part of the broader Altair Inspire platform and can be used alongside other Inspire tools to support design and manufacturing decision-making across the product lifecycle.
