Spherene is restructuring its offering around Adaptive Density Minimal Surfaces (ADMS), targeting 3D-printing users who design functionally graded, load-path-compliant components. The company has revamped its web presence, updated existing plug-ins for Autodesk Fusion and Rhino, and introduced a connection to nTop. ADMS describes continuous minimal surfaces with locally varying density that are suitable for lightweight-optimized, periodic–nonperiodic structures—for example as energy-absorbing infill regions, thermally conductive lattice cores, or as a replacement for conventional support geometries.
The redesigned website spherene.io consolidates technical references on ADMS, application examples from aerospace, medical technology and mechanical engineering, as well as documentation for integration into common design environments. According to Spherene, workflows in the plug-ins for Fusion and Rhino have been streamlined: Parametric control variables such as target density, curvature limit and cell scaling can be adjusted directly in the model; export paths to slicing pipelines for SLM, MJF or FFF have been simplified. The new nTop integration targets teams working with field-driven design, topology optimization and FEA coupling. ADMS fields can be incorporated there as continuous material functions to vary stiffness, damping or heat flow across the part without relying on discrete lattice catalogs.
“With the relaunch of our website, we are not only updating our platform—we are expanding the entire ADMS ecosystem,” says Claudio Nessi, CEO of Spherene. “By extending our integrations and improving the accessibility of ADMS through leading design tools, we enable engineers and designers to fully unlock the potential of adaptive and intelligent materials. This is a significant step toward fulfilling our mission: to empower additive manufacturing to design and produce lighter, high-performance parts faster, more cost-effectively, and more sustainably.”
The goal is to enable access to ADMS directly within widely used design tools, thereby supporting additive manufacturing in the design of lightweight, high-performance parts. For users, this means shorter iteration loops between CAD, simulation and manufacturing, as well as more reproducible part properties, since ADMS is generated in a geometrically smooth and print-oriented manner.
With the website relaunch, updated plug-ins and nTop connection, Spherene is strengthening the connectivity of its technology to existing engineering stacks. This creates a consistent path for developers and manufacturers from field design through parametric control to print-ready geometry.
