Design Optimization
Engineering for Performance and Efficiency
Unlock the full potential of additive manufacturing with advanced design strategies tailored to your specific application and production goals. Our team combines deep engineering expertise with state-of-the-art tools to optimize every stage of the digital workflow — from initial concept to build-ready file.

Design for Additive
Designing for AM isn’t just about shape — it’s about function, manufacturability, and efficiency. We help you create geometries that take full advantage of AM’s unique capabilities:
Self-supporting features:
Reduce or eliminate the need for support structures through smart geometric choices
Lattice and TPMS structures:
Optimize weight and performance with complex internal architectures
CAD-based adaptations:
Adjust existing designs to make them AM-compatible while preserving intent
Topology optimization:
Generate high-performance geometries based on real-world load and boundary conditions
Support Structure Optimization
Support strategies are critical to successful builds. We engineer support solutions that balance mechanical stability with efficient post-processing:
Advanced support designs:
Tailored to each material and geometry
Ease of removability:
Reduce post-processing time and improve surface finish
Material and build time optimization:
Minimize waste while maximizing print success
Topology optimization:
Generate high-performance geometries based on real-world load and boundary conditions
Build Simulation
Before printing, we simulate the process to predict and correct issues — saving time and cost:
Mechanical and thermal simulation:
Evaluate stresses, strains, and heat flow during printing
Deformation pre-compensation:
Adjust geometry pre-build to counteract predicted distortions
Support structure optimisation:
Virtually validate support strategies before production
Thermal heat stabilisation:
Ensure consistent heat distribution to reduce internal stresses
Data Preparation
Our data preparation workflow ensures a reliable transition from design to production:
Build layout creation:
Optimize part orientation and nesting for print efficiency
Parameter assignment & slicing:
Apply process-specific print parameters for each geometry
Process optimization:
Fine-tune strategies for surface quality, material usage, and cycle time
Topology optimization:
Generate high-performance geometries based on real-world load and boundary conditions
