Why nTop?

Welcome to nTop

A design software that’s as innovative as you are.

Why use nTop?

Your ability to innovate shouldn't be inhibited by the limits of your design software.


Category-defining technology

Our platform revolutionizes how engineers design for additive manufacturing, solving problems that were once impossible to overcome.

Design for everyone

We make complicated DfAM tasks accessible to your whole team so it’s possible for anyone to design better parts.

The future of product design

Our software leads the industry in innovation and will transform the way you think about workflows, design capabilities, and product development.

Software built on transformative technology

Implicit Modeling

Design technology that will not break.

Remove design limitations and overcome fundamental challenges with our unique modeling engine.

Field-Driven Design

Your data goes in; optimized designs come out.

Feed your design workflows with real-world data, physics, and logic to harness the power of implicit modeling.

Design Process Automation

Build processes, not just parts.

Create reusable workflows and algorithmic processes that save you time and empower your team to scale.

Easy in. Easy out.

Seamlessly import and export data within your existing workflows.
