Partimation

Material removal · casting fill & solidification · AM distortion · confidence

Find out it works — before the tool's cut and the metal's poured.

Partimation runs the physics behind every process before you commit real material to it: verified material-removal simulation on the machining side, GPU fill-and-solidification simulation on the casting side, and a distortion trend check before a metal print goes to the build plate. Every result comes back with a confidence basis, not a bare number — so you know how much to trust it before you act on it.

The problem

The expensive way to find out something doesn't work is to try it for real.

The scrap shows up on the machine, not the screen

A toolpath leaves stock the tool can't reach, or gouges where it can — and you find out only after real material is already clamped to the table and the cycle's already run.

The mold doesn't warn you before the pour

A cold shut, trapped air, or a riser that freezes before the casting it's supposed to feed — discovered after the tool's already cut and the metal's already poured. That's scrap, rework, and a delayed ship date.

Every process gets picked on gut feel, then paid for being wrong

Mill it, cast it, print it — the choice gets made before anyone runs the physics, because running it separately for each process is its own specialist's job that most shops can't justify.

What you get

The physics behind every process, checked before you commit to it.

Verified before the spindle turns

Machining plans checked against real material removal

A voxel material-removal simulation runs the toolpath against the part's real stock model — reconciled cycle time, unreachable features flagged, leftover and gouge depth called out — before a single real cut happens.

The pour, simulated, not eyeballed

GPU fill and solidification physics on every casting

A free-surface fill simulation predicts fill order, last-filled regions, and trapped-air risk; a transient solidification solver predicts solidification order and confirms risers actually freeze after the regions they're meant to feed. Live today inside Castimation.

Know the curl before it crashes the build

Metal-AM distortion trend and support-minimizing orientation

A thermal-distortion trend check flags the shelves and overhangs most likely to curl into the recoater blade, and a support-volume scan ranks build orientations by how much support material each one costs you.

Every number names its basis

Confidence you can act on, not just a result

Every result carries a confidence value and a named basis — a published prior, a calibration built from your own shop's actuals, a deterministic rule, or a flag that it needs human review — and every solver is checked against analytic theory before it ships, not just tuned to look right.

How it works

Four steps from a model to a result you can act on.

01

Drop the part

Upload a model; Partimation picks the physics that applies — removal, fill, solidification, or distortion.

02

Run the simulation

GPU-accelerated where it counts, on the same voxel grid the rest of the analysis already uses — not a rule-of-thumb estimate.

03

See the risk, and the confidence

Every flag names the rule or model behind it, and whether it's a published prior or calibrated on results you've actually seen.

04

Compare before you commit

Weigh build orientations, rigging options, or a toolpath revision against each other before you cut a tool or pour a mold.

Run it your way

In the cloud by default. Behind your firewall when it has to be.

Cloud

Nothing to install

Sign in and run a simulation from any browser. We run the GPU compute, ship the updates, and keep your data yours — the shared model only ever learns from your own results to calibrate your confidence.

On-prem & air-gapped

For parts that can't leave the building

Defense, aerospace, and anyone under NDA can run the whole thing on their own hardware. Licenses and updates are signed files — it never phones home, so an air-gapped install stays air-gapped.

Specialist environment

Casting simulation has a deeper home. Go there for the full depth.

Castimation is where fill and solidification simulation lives end to end — rigging, gates and risers, pattern and core tooling, casting yield, and cast-then-machine routing, all built on the same GPU physics described above. Same account, same cost model, tuned for the foundry.

Partimation is decision support, not a guarantee — every result names the rule, model, or confidence basis behind it, and material-removal, solidification, and distortion results are checked against physics theory, not assumed correct. Validate against your own process before you cut a tool or pour a mold.
