Fracture Mechanics Analysis of Topology-Optimized Parts
This article shares an example of using nTopology to optimize a part and export it as a CAD body, then using Abaqus to calculate the stress intensity factor of cracks that develop perpendicular…
Topology Optimized Carbon Fiber Polypropylene Parts are “Taking-Off”!
Additive manufacturing (AM) has enabled the production of designs that were thought to be impossible 25 years ago. The impressive fact is that these additive-based technologies continue to advance and improve at a…
The Danish Technological Institute and nTopology collaborate to bring further innovation to the European market
At the end of 2020, the Danish Technological Institute (DTI) and nTopology joined forces in a new collaboration about topology optimization. DTI is already a Danish market leader in Additive Manufacturing, but unlike…
Developing 3D printed Prosthetics for Animals with nTop Platform
With the reusable workflows in nTop Platform and FDM 3D printing, industrial designers are able to rapidly iterate and prototype the design of functional parts. This blog highlights a use case for animal…
Designing a 3D Printed, Elastomeric Lattice Wrist Rest
While additive manufacturing enables a totally new era of complex parts, it is still necessary to have a robust toolset that allows an engineer, designer, or product team to fully utilize these new…
Passing Flight Qualification for F-16 Aircraft Spare Parts in 30 days
Engineers from nTopology, Stress Engineering Services, and Origin joined forces to redesign a family of clamps used on the F-16 aircraft. The result was an optimized design that was 2x stiffer, easy to…
