Technology & Products
Key Products
Design automation software for additive manufacturing, including the "paramate" engine, "fixturemate" (integrated with Stratasys GrabCAD Print Pro), "Additive App Suite" (web-based apps integrated into Stratasys GrabCAD Print and GrabCAD Print Pro platforms), and apps for gripping tools, trays, and clamps. The Additive App Suite is now available through Stratasys's GrabCAD Print platform, enabling automated design workflows for industrial users. Focuses on custom solutions for manufacturing, automotive, and medical sectors.
Technological Advantage
The 'paramate' engine utilizes a proprietary cloud-based geometry kernel that handles complex boolean operations and lattice structures via API, making design automation accessible through simple web interfaces.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Automates the complex design process for 3D printing, enabling non-CAD experts to generate production-ready, optimized geometries in minutes rather than hours.
How They Differentiate
Trinckle differentiates by focusing on 'no-CAD' design automation. Unlike nTop, which targets high-end engineering experts for complex lattices, Trinckle’s 'paramate' engine allows non-CAD users to generate production-ready designs (like jigs and fixtures) via simple web interfaces and APIs.
