Technology & Products
Key Products
ProTOp topology optimization software
Technological Advantage
Proprietary algorithms achieve faster convergence and higher design efficiency than generic FEA tools, validated through integration with major CAD platforms.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces material usage by 20-40% through efficient topology optimization, cutting production costs and lead times for lightweight, structurally optimized components ready for 3D printing.
How They Differentiate
Standalone software focused solely on topology optimization with direct CAD/FEA file compatibility (FNF, INP, GEO, DAT), unlike broader simulation suites; 20-40% material reduction vs. manual design.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Engineering firms, manufacturers, and designers using CAD/FEA software (PTC Creo, Simulia Abaqus, SolidWorks Simulation, Siemens NX) for structural optimization and AM part design.
