Topology optimization
a bright future for innovation
Optimizing a mechanical component or part through material reduction.
Optimizing a mechanical component or part through material reduction.
Material Reduction
Lightweight structures not only reduce material costs but also limit manufacturing resource consumption. Lighter moving parts
generate less friction and require less energy to be put in motion. Plus, the supply chain is also benefited, as lighter parts are
easier and cheaper to transport.
Shortened Design Process
The automated process is capable of producing considerably better-performing parts in a fraction of the time an experienced design team would be able to.
Maximum Performance
Topology optimization algorithms don’t consider aspects like aesthetics and violate common design rules (such as uniform thickness) in favor of performance.
Boosts Sustainability
To prevents undue material wastage. The algorithm is capable of creating sustainable building systems while still being rooted in sound structural logic.
Less chances of Design Failure
Create optimal designs early in the design process and significantly reduce costs associated with design failure.

CMDE Labs’ topology optimization tools include shape optimization that focuses on multiple manufacturing processes. They are built to consider and adhere to the rules and specs of multiple different manufacturing methods. Some of these rules include: symmetry patterns, draw direction, cavity avoidance, overhand angles, and more.
