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…
For many independent designers, the dream of creating custom jewelry stops where reality begins: expensive equipment, high upfront costs, and years of technical learning. For Anton, a designer from Denmark, that barrier almost kept his passion from ever becoming real. Until he discovered Castimize. We spoke with him about his experience as a creator using…

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…

The world of 3D design is as exciting as it is rewarding. Have you ever imagined transforming a simple idea into a tangible object, like a beautifully crafted ring or an innovative product prototype? Whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional, 3D design offers endless creative possibilities. But how hard is it to get started,…
As 3D technologies evolve, people often wonder about the differences between lost wax casting and 3D printing. Both methods have unique strengths, but they serve different purposes depending on the requirements of the project. While 3D printing is praised for its speed and flexibility, lost wax casting offers unmatched durability and aesthetics, making it the…
