The team has set up and validated the process; orders are coming in via the platform and keeping two 3D sand printers busy. Now we want to scale this up quickly so that buyers can get the casting they need, when they need it &#8211; and benefit from a technically superior process to boot. Whether it&#8217;s iron, steel or aluminum castings.   \n<br><br>\u201cIt&#8217;s my job as CTO to make the process as seamless and automated as possible, and to make the platform even stronger with new features. Everything that previously bothered buyers about the casting supplier search &#8211; the lack of flexibility, the slow preparation of quotations, the poor predictability &#8211; we are solving all of that in one fell swoop. This is a huge opportunity for medium-sized foundries, which will gain access to a better process and new customers with us. With CASTFAST, we want to make foundries successful and at the same time bring momentum to the entire industry.\u201d\n<br><br>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
