Why choose nTop for thermal management?

nTop helps leading companies across industries capitalize on the latest advancements in high-performance heat exchanger design and manufacturing to realize better thermal efficiency outcomes.

24% cooler operation

Reduce operating temperature: RICOH designed a camera housing that's 24% cooler and runs 24+ hours without shutting down.

See case study

300% larger heat transfer surface

Increase heat transfer and lower weight:Puntozero developed a liquid-cooled cold plate with a gyroid lattice and flow guides. The resulting design is 25% lighter and increases the heat transfer surface by 300%.

See case study

50% smaller part optimized for heat transfer

Accomplish more in fewer parts: Cobra Aero swapped fins for a lattice structure to produce a design with equal performance at half the size.

See case study

33% temperature reduction

Better cooling, more power: KW Micro Power used a conformal cooling approach to reduce motor temperature while reducing the weight of the component by 44%.

nTop’s critical tools for thermal management with additive manufacturing

nTop features four powerful tools you won’t find in CAD. These tools will help you design higher-performing parts that manage heat efficiently, all within your existing workflows.

Robust lattice design

Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) lattices have a large surface-to-volume ratio, making them idea for heat exchangers. Look for the ability to generate and modify complex, scalable lattice structures with variable thickness and smooth transitions quickly.

Simulation-driven design

Rather than interpret results manually, look for capabilities to use CFD thermal maps and flow fields to directly control critical lattice parameters and the location, density, and orientation of flow or thermal guides.

Interoperability

Ensure your tools work together. Your design software should also be able to integrate with other design, analysis, and production software critical to your overall workflow.
