If your STL file (or other 3D file) is too large to upload, slow to process, or difficult to work with, chances are it’s overly high-poly. This is a common issue, especially with files exported from sculpting software, high-resolution scans or generative AI. The good news: you can compress file size significantly without noticeable quality…

In our last post on generative AI, we explored the potential—and current limitations—of generative AI in 3D design, with tools like Rodin and Meshy. Some AI-generated models passed our casting process, but many didn’t meet the technical thresholds required for lost wax casting. But at Castimize, we’re not just experimenting with tech for tech’s sake—we’re…
