Technology & Products
Key Products
Spherene V3 software, introducing Flow ADMS to optimize internal geometries for fluid and thermal performance, reducing pressure drop by 20% compared to traditional gyroid structures.
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.
