Modeling

Unbreakable implicit modeling, built for speed and complexity

nTop's implicit modeling technology eliminates traditional CAD bottlenecks—capture engineering logic, iterate instantly, and explore design spaces with parametric models that won't fail.

Traditional CAD wasn’t built for this.


Building a flexible parametric model requires months of expert CAD work. Even then, changes cause model tree failures and engineers spend weeks rebuilding what should take minutes.

nTop's implicit modeling uses signed distance functions instead of fragile boundary representations, enabling 100% robust design updates and analysis cycles that complete in minutes, not weeks.

Geometry that scales with complexity

Move faster, explore more ideas, and trust your geometry will hold.

Create major design variations instantly with implicit modeling that never breaks—enabling systematic evaluation of complex geometries, assemblies, and system layouts without modeling rework.

Build engineering knowledge blocks

Go from "set of parameters" to "spatially intelligent geometry."

Combine building blocks into complex assemblies where every component remains individually accessible and modifiable throughout the design process.

Create workflows that adapt

In CAD, you capture outputs. In nTop, you capture intent.

Connect engineering logic through visual programming that maintains parametric relationships automatically, eliminating the constraint conflicts and rebuild errors that plague traditional CAD.



Faster iteration. Earlier insight.

nTop enables rapid design changes, early performance evaluation, and confidence in every update.

Faster design changes

Reduce design changes from weeks to hours with reliable parametric updates.

More exploration, earlier

Evaluate design variants 10x faster instead of just a few concepts.

Stable geometry, no rework

Make confident changes without crashes, rebuilds, or manual cleanup.

Real business impact

Shorten design cycles and improve win rates by adapting quickly to shifting requirements.


Speed up every phase of design.

nTop is used across the design lifecycle. Explore how our customers apply it in:
