工程软件开发人员Ntopology目前正在为其拓扑优化平台开发一系列新开发项目。
Commercialized back in 2019，该公司的软件桥梁模拟和生成设计，使用户能够创建针对添加剂制造过程优化的复杂零件。雷电竞充值因此，该平台体现了添加剂制造设计原理（DFAM），绕过了当今常规工程设计工具的几何限制。雷电竞充值
Ntopology的创新用于应对行业中一些最困难的工程挑战，包括轻巧，热管理，大规模定制，架构材料以及制造和工具。
Following its recentthird-generation latticing technology launch，，，，the firm is now in the process of developing several upcoming design tools such as field-driven lattice optimization capabilities, custom graph unit cells, and more.
“We are excited to release the latest generation of our lattice technology, which will continue to fundamentally change how engineers approach design for additive manufacturing,” said Trevor Laughlin, VP Product at nTopology. “This new technology will enable industry-first advancements such as field-driven optimization, where the software automatically designs lattice structures for user-defined objectives and constraints. Ultimately, this will allow our customers to more effectively make use of the AM design space, resulting in innovative applications faster than ever before.”
工程设计领导者
Ntopology成立于2015年，已证明自己是生成设计领域的主要参与者之一。该公司的高级算法受到各种各样的制造公司的信任和利用Ford，，，，洛克希德·马丁，，，，and霍尼韦尔。
To complement its part design capabilities, nTopology offers multiple avenues to augment a company’s existing software stack. This includes integrations with PLM systems and external design analysis and simulation platforms, as well as export of design data in formats compatible with traditional CAD or even direct export of 3D printing slicing data.
它还配备了命令行界面，该命令行允许用户在程序化环境中通过脚本运行Ntopology工作流程，自动化和缩放设计过程为大规模自定义应用程序。
The growth of nTopology over the past three years has been aided by a number of funding rounds, asNtopologyraised $40 million in Series C在2020年以及further $65 millionat the end of last year.
此后，该公司与3D打印机制造商合作Stratasysto develop theFDM灯具发生器，一种用于简化夹具，固定装置和其他工具设计的自动化工具。
前进的ntopology道路
As is evidenced by its milestones thus far, the company is continuously developing updates and upgrades for its generative design platform.
最近，Ntopology首次亮相其第三代晶格设计工具，旨在为客户提供一种快速简便的方法来生成复杂的3D可打印晶格结构。升级涉及将晶格生成过程分为三个单独的步骤，从而使用户控制晶格设计的每个方面：选择一个单元单元，定义单元格映射并微调晶格参数。
在性能中，主要的好处之一是产生一个晶格，超过50,000个单位单元格最多需要60秒，但现在可以在实时建造它。
As well as introducing the new features, the release laid down a basic architecture for the creation of several new follow-on optimization tools.
即将到来的现场驱动优化功能将使客户能够自动优化其晶格结构，以适应特定的工程要求，包括目标刚度或权重。如果Ntopology尚未涵盖所需的单元单元类型，则用户还可以勾勒出自己的自定义图形单元单元。
Finally, the team is working on extending the platform’s conformal lattice generation capabilities to complement the technology’s existing tools. As such, customers will soon be given the ability to design lattice cell maps that follow the shape of any organic surface or volume.
