SphereneNXT is a browser-based engineering platform for creating high-performance internal architectures within components intended for advanced manufacturing. Rather than treating internal geometry as a generic infill or selecting from a limited collection of repeating lattice templates, the platform enables engineers to define the performance a part must deliver. Requirements such as stiffness, weight reduction, thermal management, energy absorption, strength, manufacturability, material usage, and production efficiency can be translated into purpose-built internal structures. This makes it possible to engineer performance from the inside while preserving the external form and functional interfaces of the original component.
SphereneNXT supports a connected workflow covering CAD import, internal-structure design, optimization, and print-ready output. Engineers can bring geometry into the platform from their preferred CAD environment, develop adaptive architectures, evaluate manufacturing considerations, and prepare files for production without assembling a fragmented chain of specialized applications. Because the platform is web-based and CAD-agnostic, it offers convenient access from different workstations and locations while supporting collaboration across design, engineering, and manufacturing teams.
At the core of SphereneNXT is support for multiple classes of engineering metamaterials, including established TPMS structures and Spherene’s proprietary ADMS technology. This broad architectural approach allows the platform to address different performance problems with an appropriate internal solution rather than assuming that one lattice type can satisfy every requirement. The resulting geometries are designed to be manufacturable and applicable across industries such as aerospace, defense, automotive, healthcare, energy, architecture, construction, and consumer products.
| Integrated Import-to-Production Workflow SphereneNXT organizes internal-architecture development into a streamlined Import, Design, Optimize, and Print workflow. The import stage lets engineers begin with geometry created in their established CAD solution, reducing the need to rebuild models or commit to a single design ecosystem. After importing the component, users can define the outcomes that matter for the application, including target weight, structural stiffness, thermal behavior, energy absorption, and manufacturing constraints. SphereneNXT then generates an internal structure intended to deliver those requirements while fitting the available design volume. Optimization helps distribute material where it creates functional value instead of filling the part with an unnecessarily uniform pattern. The platform also considers printability so that sophisticated geometry remains connected to practical production objectives. At the output stage, users can prepare print-ready files for additive-manufacturing workflows across different printers and materials. This connected process reduces handoffs between disconnected tools, supports faster iteration, and helps teams move from an engineering concept to a manufacturable component without losing design intent. By keeping core activities in one accessible environment, SphereneNXT also supports distributed teams that need to review, refine, and advance internal structures from different locations. | ![]() |
![]() | ADMS, TPMS, and Adaptive Metamaterial Architectures Different engineering objectives require different internal geometries, and SphereneNXT provides access to a broad spectrum of metamaterial architectures. Its proprietary ADMS approach advances beyond static, repeating lattices by adapting density, topology, wall characteristics, and cell distribution in response to local functional requirements. Material can therefore be concentrated in areas influenced by stress, heat flow, or other performance demands and reduced where it contributes less value. The resulting architecture is designed to provide adaptive and substantially isotropic behavior while conforming to complex boundaries. SphereneNXT also supports established TPMS architectures, which use continuous periodic surfaces to deliver useful mechanical and thermal characteristics with smooth, lightweight cellular geometry. TPMS structures remain well suited to applications that benefit from uniform properties, continuous surfaces, fluid interaction, or efficient heat transfer. By offering ADMS, TPMS, and other infill strategies within the same engineering environment, the platform helps users select the architecture that best matches the problem. Applications can include adaptive load paths, uniform stiffness, lightweighting, impact management, heat exchange, and controlled energy absorption. This flexible architecture strategy helps reduce unnecessary material consumption while supporting stronger, lighter, and more efficient components. |
| Flexible Browser Platform and CAD Integrations SphereneNXT can be used through its full-featured web-based platform, providing engineers with flexible access to internal-architecture tools without restricting work to a particular desktop workstation. This approach is particularly useful for organizations that value remote access, centralized workflows, and easier collaboration among design, simulation, and manufacturing specialists. For teams that prefer to remain inside existing design environments, Spherene capabilities are also available through dedicated integrations for nTop, Autodesk Fusion, Rhino, and Grasshopper. These options allow businesses to choose a working method that fits established processes rather than replacing every part of their current software stack. The platform’s capabilities are applicable to a wide range of performance-driven products: aerospace and defense teams can pursue minimal weight with high structural efficiency; automotive engineers can address energy absorption, heat dissipation, and mass reduction; medical designers can develop complex implant structures; and energy specialists can create efficient heat-transfer geometry. Construction and architecture projects can use internal structures to improve material efficiency and durability, while consumer-product and footwear developers can combine lightweight construction with tuned functionality. Across these fields, SphereneNXT connects generative geometry, manufacturability, and additive production in a practical engineering workflow. | ![]() |
