Working with assemblies and part consolidation in nTop

Optimizing the structure of every component of an assembly — or consolidating the form and function of multiple parts into a single component — is an essential lightweighting technique.

In this nTop Live, Gabrielle Thelen, Application Engineer at nTop, shows you how to work with assemblies designed in traditional CAD tools and imported to nTop. As an example, she uses a robot arm assembly and an additively manufactured exhaust pipe. 

Watch and learn how to:

• Prepare assemblies in traditional CAD for importing to nTop
• Modify, optimize, and control the geometry of assemblies
• Consolidate the form or function of an assembly into a single component
