Sr. Principal Mechanical Engineer

The nTop team is great to work with. There training materials and onboarding process are excellent, like nothing I have ever experienced before.

Director Of Engineering

Overall the software is excellent, the support is awesome, and what can be done with it is up to the users imagination.

Design Engineer

The support team and the customer success team are some of the best I have worked with. They definitely want you to succeed using the software.

Product Development Engineer

I've really enjoyed utilizing nTopology. The platform itself is a really great tool to explore new and innovative spaces in the design world that I don't think any other software out there can offer.

Postdoctoral Researcher

I was specifically impressed by the ability to perform homogenization on complex porous structures and the plots that result from the process.

The topology optimization engine is impressive. Complex operations such as latticing and shelling are executed so quickly.

mechanical engineer

I miss a feature which automatically updates the imported CAD-file(s).

Associate Professor

The ability to rapidly conceptualize, iterate and innovate with complex design.

Mechanical Design Engineer

With the constant updates also comes tool name changes, tool combination, etc, which can be annoying to keep track of.

Additive Applications Engineer

I like the lightweighting features and the intuitiveness of the workflow design.

Hard to identify anything to dislike about nTopology.

The speed in generating concepts is incredible. No other software has all of the features nTop does and most packages lag behind in the things they can do.

Overall the software is excellent, the support is awesome, and what can be done with it is up to the users imagination. Overall I would recommend this software heartily to anyone looking for advanced product design and development. 

Extraordinary 3D Software that Stands Above the Others

The reusable workflow drastically decreases iteration time. The speed in generating concepts is incredible. No other software has all of the features nTop does and most packages lag behind in the things they can do.  

Awesome Software Package

nTopology at its core is an impressive software package that promises a lot; however, as design complexity increases it is not always able to deliver on that promise. The user experience and customer support experiences are superb. Overall, I would recommend the product, but only for the specific use cases it might excel at, not as a "catch-all" solution.

nTopology review 2022

nTopology has allowed us to demonstrate large-scale cellular structures with fine user control and customization.  Native slicing in nTopology is essential since an export in some cases would be prohibitively large.  Re-usable work-flows are a huge time-saver and  

Complex Geometry for Metal Additive Manufacturing 

nTop gives new possibilities for lightweight construction.
Not at least it is important for parts to look good and high-tech. This could be achieved by the latticing functions.

nTopologys way to enhanced parts for additive manufacturing

My experience with nTopology has been excellent. Their customer service and response to technical questions is some of the best I've experienced from a software company.

Excellent Software for Optimization and DFAM

nTop is the only tool we use for advanced lattice design in AM.

nTop Excellent for Lattice Design

Positive and capability to work on complex hollow components or difficult to model in other CAD geometries. All coupled with a basic but good analysis section that is an added value for an all in one CAE - CAD workflow. Added interaction with external CAD / CAE has been a plus. 

nTop Platform - 2y looking back

Very positive! The nTop team is great to work with.  There training materials and onboarding process are excellent, like nothing I have ever experienced before.  The tool is enabling us to easily create structures that were tedious if not impossible to create in standard CAD software.

Complex structure creation with nTop

Fantastic team at nTopology. Beyond enabling use of this software for academics like me to teach in my classes and use in our research, nTopology has managed to realize the dreams of designers in ways we are only beginning to understand. 

The most exciting thing in CAD in this millennium

nTopology rocks! 

I've really enjoyed utilizing nTopology. The platform itself is a really great tool to explore new and innovative spaces in the design world that I don't think any other software out there can offer. When I have run into stumbling blocks along the way, their customer success team has always gone above and beyond to help me reach my end goal. 

Next-Gen Software for Next-Gen Development

nTopology Review

Great and innovative CAD software

full of features 

nTop has allowed us to create innovative designs for our osteointegrative medical implants that other software is not currently capable of.

nTopology for 3D printed osteointegrative implants

An impressive software 

Overall I've very much enjoyed using nTopology, and the work I created in the software made up a big portion of my PhD dissertation. I was specifically impressed by the ability to perform homogenization on complex porous structures and the plots that result from the process. Their support is top-notch, the videos online are great, and the Slack channel has been extremely helpful to me.
