Pros

Pros

“nTopology can be computationally intensive, requiring significant resources and time to run complex simulations.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Alexandros G.

Civil Engineer

“This is where nTop shines! If you want to integrate large scale (more than 1 or 2 cubic inch) cellular structures into your AM parts, there is really no other way to do it quickly and easily and with the level of control over the geometry that nTop allows. ”
CD

Corey D.

R&D Engineer

“The software does have a fairly steep learning curve, especially for the more advanced features. While help topics are readily available, the ability to dive deep is a skill set that just takes a lot of time”
