Not only the printers and filaments play a crucial role in additive manufacturing. Equally important is the software with which the models are edited. For this, AMendate developed a topology optimization software. Topology optimization is a process by which basic shapes for components are determined and optimized.
Their software makes it possible to create optimal parts for 3D printing almost fully automatically. The focus is on speed and it should greatly simplify the optimization processes in 3D printing. To find out more, we asked Thomas Reiher, CEO and co-founder of AMendate, some questions.
3DN: Can you introduce yourself and tell us about the founding of AMendate?
Thomas Egret; CEO and co-founder of AMendate
AMendate is software for simple and fully automatic optimization of technical components for additive manufacturing. This replaces the currently very complex processes for producing lightweight geometries. The idea for the development of the software came to us during our work at the university and the local research center for additive manufacturing. 3D printing offers many opportunities for lightweight construction through the cost-efficient production of bionic structures.
