About gussCAD
gussCAD GmbH is an engineering service provider based in Baienfurt, Baden-Württemberg, specialising in casting part development. The company creates castable CAD models for all casting processes – from sand casting through gravity die casting to die casting – and supports designers in avoiding feedback loops with the foundry. The models are created in Catia V5, SolidWorks and Creo, including casting-related optimisation such as function integration, mould concept and machining allowances. In addition, gussCAD offers its own 3D scanning: using a markerless tracker system, objects up to approx. 4 m in size – entire vehicles, interiors, tools or test rigs – can be captured with an accuracy of up to 0.1 mm, including texture. Building on this, the company offers surface reconstruction, reverse engineering and 3D measurement using false-colour comparison. Further services include GRP design for the caravan industry, welded constructions made from laser-cut and bent parts, fixture design, folding kinematics and technical documentation. Customers come from casting technology, mechanical engineering, hydraulics, plant engineering, aviation technology, the commercial vehicle industry, caravans and interior fitting.
