CastCheckCasting tendency analysis for Windows
See where solidification defects tend to form — tuned to your own castings.
The more you use it, the better it fits your castings.
Casting analysis a small or mid-sized foundry can own.
Fast
From loading to results in under a minute for an ordinary part
Measured on test shapes on a PC with 8 GB of memory. Auto riser sizing takes a few minutes.
No setup
No meshing, and no entering temperatures or pouring speeds. Just the 3D file and the alloy.
One-time purchase
No annual maintenance fee. Runs on your usual Windows PC, starting with a single seat. No expensive dedicated workstation, no server.
No specialist needed
You do not need a dedicated analysis specialist; people on the shop floor can use it as it is.
It does not do flow simulation (CFD). Instead, you can swap in many rigging layouts and compare them. What it does — and does not do →
Load a 3D file and choose the alloy: it shows whether your risers work and where shrinkage, poor filling and surface sink tend to occur.
Four outputs
- RiserTendency: whether the risers you placed work
- ShrinkageTendency: where porosity gathers
- FillingTendency: where the metal struggles to reach
- Surface sinkTendency: where the surface tends to sink
Where it cannot judge, it says so

The output is a tendency
Location and ranking can be relied on. Absolute values are for reference until calibrated with your own results.
