We present new programmable graphics hardware accelerated algorithms to test the castability of geometric parts and assist with part redesign. These algorithms efficiently identify and graphically display undercuts and minimum and insufficient draft angles. Their running times grow only linearly with respect to the number of facets in the solid model, making them efficient subroutines for our algorithms that test whether a tessellated CAD model can be manufactured in a two-part mold. We have developed and implemented two such algorithms to choose candidate directions to test for castability using accessibility analysis and Gauss maps. The efficiency of these algorithms lies in that they identify groups of candidate directions such that if any one direction in the group is not castable, none are, or if any one is castable, all are. We examine trade-offs between the algorithms' speed, accuracy, and whether they guarantee that a castable direction will be found for a part if one exists.
