Technology & Products

Key Products

SphereneNXT - browser-based engineering platform (launched June 30/July 3 2026) succeeding Spherene V3; supports patented ADMS, TPMS lattice infills, beams, conformal structures, CAD/mesh uploads, integrated printability/meshing tools, and a closed design-to-print workflow with nTop, Autodesk Fusion, and Rhino/Grasshopper integrations.

Technological Advantage

Provides isotropic mechanical properties (uniform strength in all directions) and self-supporting geometries that eliminate the need for temporary 3D printing supports, while V3 specifically enables 'flow-optimized' internal channels for superior thermal management.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Automates the creation of complex internal geometries that are lightweight, isotropic, and flow-optimized, significantly reducing manual CAD labor and material waste while ensuring structural integrity.

How They Differentiate

Spherene differentiates through its proprietary Adaptive Density Minimal Surface (ADMS) technology. Unlike traditional lattice structures which are often anisotropic (strength varies by direction), ADMS is inherently isotropic, providing uniform mechanical properties. Furthermore, Spherene’s software is 'autonomous,' meaning it automatically adapts density and topology to any 3D boundary without the manual 'field-driven' setup required by competitors like nTop.

Market & Competition
