Better Design Parts Made With Additive Manufacturing: Test CDS Software for Free

A French start-up founded in 2021, Cognitive Design Systems (CDS) develops software solutions based on artificial intelligence to boost the potential of additive manufacturing. After raising twp million euros in 2023, it is currently offering a campaign for 90 days’ free access to one of its products, Cognitive Additive. This software suite enables analysis of 3D printing process, with features such as orientation strategy definition, automated nesting, automated DfAM analysis, cost and carbon footprint calculation. The aim is to improve design by providing engineers and design departments with the right information.

In the additive manufacturing market, specialized software is becoming increasingly numerous, offering a wide range of functions. Between proprietary software, pure design solutions, those dedicated to part preparation or to automating your production, it’s not always easy to know which tool to choose. That’s where Cognitive Design Systems comes in: the aim is not just to design a part for additive manufacturing, but to have all the cards in hand to make an informed choice, whether in terms of technology, materials, number of parts, etc. Among other things, the company relies on artificial intelligence to make digital simulation easy and designs as optimal as possible.

The software can analyze an assembly or a batch of parts in terms of manufacturability

Cognitive Design Systems Meets the Needs of Manufacturers

Cognitive Design Systems has therefore devised a software suite with three different products to help manufacturers achieve their objectives and solve their problems: how to optimize production costs? How to minimize printing errors? How to automate workflow? Whether it’s choosing the right manufacturing technology or automating the design process, CDS solutions meet the challenges of additive manufacturing as well as those of injection molding and casting.
