Additive manufacturing paired with mass customization allows engineers to introduce texturing, text, and foams into their automotive designs to improve the aesthetics of custom accessories and interior and exterior vehicle features.
Consumer products industry
Mass customization with 3D printing empowers engineers to create one-of-a-kind consumer products, like custom footwear and sports equipment, to improve ergonomics and user comfort.
nTop’s critical tools for mass customization with additive manufacturing
Reusable workflows
Design processes, not just parts. Once you have built your workflow, you can rerun it with new inputs repeatedly and accurately.
nTop Automate
Run nTop files through a programmatic environment with different input variables for rapid custom design generation.
Label and logo automation
Effortlessly swap labels and logos. Add serial numbers and other identifying product markings without ever causing errors.
User-specific geometry
Import 3D scan data into reusable workflows to quickly create products tailored to individuals.
Latticing, digital workflows, and mass customization bring the world’s most advanced prosthetics to the jungles of Guatemala
LifeNabled volunteers used 3D patient scan data to automatically generate prosthetic sockets in nTop. The new digital workflow saves more than three days of work, and it can be replicated anywhere in the world. The resulting prostheses are more breathable, flexible, and comfortable for the patients they serve in Guatemala.
