Design

We turn requirements and concepts into design data that can be manufactured. Working with implicit modeling in nTop and printing on Carbon DLS, we design lattice structures and topology-optimized shapes in a form that can actually be made.

What you bring, what we return

What you bringRequirements, concept, 3D data (STEP preferred), drawings, or the physical part
What we return3D model (STEP / IGES), production drawings, CAE strength analysis report

What we can do

  • Implicit modeling: in nTop, we design lattice structures and topology-optimized shapes that are hard to handle in conventional CAD. Advanced Design
  • DfAM: we shape parts so they can be printed on Carbon DLS, considering strength, accuracy and supports. Carbon’s own materials support CAE analysis before manufacturing.
  • 3D CAD and CAE: with Autodesk Fusion and SolidWorks, we take work from concept to production drawings, including large assemblies and complex surfaces.
  • Reverse engineering: we turn parts without drawings into data with a 3D scanner-type CMM (VL-800). Measurement accuracy ±10 µm, parts up to φ500 mm and 50 kg. Delivered as STEP / STL. Reverse Engineering
  • Material selection: we propose materials based on the operating environment and required performance. Materials Guide
  • Surface finishing: aluminum vapor deposition on Carbon DLS parts is available (processed by a partner), including on soft materials such as EPU.
  • Not offered: reverse engineering of parts is not delivered as 2D drawings or DXF. For transparent or mirror-finished parts, please ask before ordering.
