Standardized 3D Design Elements
Cadster developed a custom UDF-based tool to create consistent design elements, geometries, and mounting points across complex 3D models. This reduces repetitive modelling work and improves design consistency.

Standardized Geometry for Reliable Additive Manufacturing.
A custom 3D engineering workflow built around reusable UDF-based design elements, consistent geometry, and early model validation for industrial 3D printing preparation.
Project Overview
Engineering Automation Built Around a Real Production Workflow.
Complex additive-manufacturing models can contain repeated features, mounting points, and design conditions that must remain consistent across many parts. Rebuilding or checking these elements manually increases modelling effort and makes standardization more difficult.
This project uses reusable UDF-based design logic to improve repeatability and introduces validation before print preparation. The result is a more structured engineering process where standard geometry can be created consistently and potential print-related issues can be identified earlier.
Project Focus
Core Solution Capabilities
Automated Printability Verification
The solution checks important model conditions before 3D printing, helping engineers identify design issues early. It supports faster validation and reduces errors during print preparation.
Faster 3D Printing Preparation
The optimized workflow simplifies model preparation for industrial 3D printing. It helps engineering teams save time, maintain standard geometry, and improve overall printing accuracy.
Engineering Workflow
From Engineering Input to Controlled Output.
The project workflow is structured to reduce repeated manual operations while keeping the engineering process clear, reviewable, and suitable for production use.
