Designing objects as complex as nature: Interview with Hyperganic

What if you could design objects as complex as nature? What would you produce? Since the majority of current software tools for additive manufacturing are not yet adapted to this complexity, the Munich-based company Hyperganic offers a technology that overcomes current limitations and allows objects to be designed with complete freedom of design. We got the opportunity to talk to Markus Finke, Director of Business Development at Hyperganic to learn more about the company’s technology.

3DN: Can you present yourself and your link to additive manufacturing?

3DN: How was Hyperganic founded and what is its mission?

Hyperganic was founded in 2015. Our mission is to enable our customers to: build objects as complex as Nature; automate these design and engineering processes; ensure the resulting objects can easily be printed, therefore utilizing the full potential of today’s 3DP machinery. We work with companies to automate production workflows and partner with leading printer manufacturers to utilize the full potential of their machines. Printer manufacturers use our technology to drive their printers. Hyperganic’s technologies enable users to control print parameters at the voxel-level, to optimize print strategies for speed, quality and to allow for next generation applications like material gradient printing.
