Hyperganic, an expert in algorithmic engineering software, introduces a cloud-native design application for the creation of 3D printed lattice structures. Named HyDesign, and designed for a cloud computing architecture, this tool simplifies the design of lattice-based products that will require AM as a manufacturing process.
The Ultrasim® 3D Lattice Library by Forward AM is directly embedded into the software. As a reminder, Hyperganic joined forces with Farsoon and BASF Forward AM to develop an integrated 3D lattice solution for Additive Manufacturing applications. The highlight of this collaboration was the less time-consuming Ultrasim® 3D Lattice Engine.
Hyperganic confirms today that the integration of the Ultrasim® 3D Lattice Library will replace the standalone version of the Ultrasim® 3D Lattice Engine, enhancing this way the design process within HyDesign.
Forward AM’s Ultrasim® 3D Lattice Library offers curated, tailored lattices that accelerate product development and eliminate guesswork in functional 3D-printed structures. Built on decades of material science expertise and rigorous testing, the library provides optimal combinations of lattice designs, materials, and printers, tested and used across industries such as footwear, seating, and protection. It currently includes printer-material pairings like Ultrasint® TPU 01 for HP’s Multi-Jet Fusion (MJF5200) and TPU 88A for Farsoon’s HT252, a press communication explains.
In addition to making it easier to choose options for lattice designs, materials and 3D printers, HyDesign does not require deep knowledge or expertise and removes the need for high-performance computing hardware. It also minimizes costly and time-consuming trial prints while accelerating the design process with validated materials and meshless simulation.
David Alby Medina, an automotive 3D designer and former road cyclist, used HyDesign to create an ergonomic bike saddle, overcoming four years of trial-and-error with traditional 3D modeling.
“One of the features that I love about HyDesign is that I don’t have to take care of doing highly demanding computing operations on my computer. All the re-meshing operations are done on the cloud,” Medina said. The full-size saddle design was generated in seconds and exported in minutes, showcasing HyDesign’s speed.
HyDesign is now commercially available with a 14-day free trial, with simulation available as a beta feature.
