Optimize Design for Additive Manufacturing

We help you redesign parts to be lighter, stronger, and ready for production. Using DfAM tools like topology optimization and lattice structures, we reduce material use, improve performance, and simplify manufacturing.

Great design isn’t just about form – it’s about function, cost, and manufacturability. Traditional parts often carry unnecessary weight, complexity, or cost when adapted to additive manufacturing.

Our DfAM process helps you rethink how parts are designed from the ground up. Using tools like generative design, topology optimization, and lattice structures, we unlock new performance levels while reducing material use and production time.

Design Optimization (DfAM) Services

Topology Optimization

Design parts to meet performance goals using minimal material. We analyze loads and constraints to generate more efficient, lighter geometries.

  • Reduce part weight without compromising strength

  • Minimize cost through smarter material use

  • Shorten design and iteration cycles

We apply advanced lattice patterns to make parts stronger and lighter, using internal geometries ideal for additive manufacturing.

  • Use conformal or custom lattice designs

  • Lower material consumption

  • Improve part stiffness and energy absorption

DfAM Feasibility Analysis

Before printing, we validate whether your part can be manufactured reliably, avoiding delays and costly redesigns.

  • Identify risks before production begins

  • Estimate costs, print time, and material use

  • Confirm suitability for chosen AM process

Generative Design for AM

We use generative tools to explore hundreds of geometry options – guided by your performance and manufacturing constraints.

  • Automate early-stage design exploration

  • Align output with print technology and materials

  • Create organic, high-performance shapes

Why It Matters

Additive manufacturing removes many traditional design limits – but if you don’t adapt your designs, you won’t see the benefits.

Designing for AM means lighter parts, fewer components, and lower costs. We help you unlock these advantages by optimizing geometry, reducing material use, and ensuring your part is ready to print.
