Carbon Makes Design Engine™ Software Available to All
Summary
Our collaboration using Carbon’s Design Engine software and 3D printing process enabled us to develop a saddle with different damping characteristics, something impossible with traditional foam, leading to superior comfort. “Carbon’s software suite, starting with Design Engine, aims to cover every step needed for companies to create products with superior performance while accelerating the time to market.” Lattice structures require less material while retaining tunable mechanical properties. As a result, latticed parts can provide performance advantages, including lightweighting, flexibility, improved cushioning and dampening, heat dissipation, and unique aesthetics. Design Engine resolves lattice features, both large and small, while robustly transitioning seamlessly between different zones inside the same part for tunable performance. • Precise control: Lattices generated in Design Engine can be optimized for a wide array of performance characteristics, including part volume and tunable mechanical response.
