Automotive design software

Get high-performance, additively manufactured parts on cars and stay ahead of the competition.




Create safe, high-performing automotive parts with precision using nTop’s advanced tools for design and workflow management.
Automotive applications

Structural lightweighting
Make lighter automotive parts with an extensive set of design tools like topology optimization, lattice and gyroid structures, perforation patterns, variable shelling, and isogrid ribs.

Load path visualization

Part consolidation

Topology optimization

Lattice infills

Variable shelling
Architected materials
Improve the passenger experience by creating more comfortable and safe parts with complex geometries that could only be made with 3D printing.

Tailored material properties

Advanced lattice structures

Multifunctional optimization

Foam replacement
Data-driven design
Beat program deadlines by creating and evaluating more design concepts directly informed by simulation and analysis.

Reusable simulation processes

Design of experiments

Finite element analysis

Field optimization

Lighter liquid-cooled plate created with advanced lattice generation and reusable workflows
Puntozero used nTop to redesign the power electronics in Dynamis PRC’s electric race car for additive manufacturing. The result was a 25% lighter liquid-cooled heat sink with flow guides that increased the heat transfer surface area by 300%.
