Advanced Structures, Lattices, and Structural Optimization

TPMS (Triply-Periodic Minimal Surfaces)

Incorporate complex 3D geometries with Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical periodicity.

TPMS Transitions

Smoothly transition between one TPMS to another (e.g. Gyroid to Schwarz-P) in the same part.

Modulate

Change the cell size and/or wall thickness of TPMS infills in a specified axis.

Forward AM Lattice

Utilize beam lattices with pre-validated structural properties.

Image Modulation of Lattices

Easily vary lattice beam thicknesses using image projections.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I quickly get started with HyDesign?
You can hit the ground running with HyDesign by simply creating an account. Immediate access allows you to start designing without delay on a web browser of your choice.
How does HyDesign enhance TPMS and Lattice design capabilities?
On top of TPMS and lattice-beam infills, HyDesign offers advanced functions such as dynamic cell size and wall thickness modulations, and mapping on spherical and cylindrical surfaces. In addition, it is now possible to apply skins over specific regions of an infilled object with a grayscale image.
What geometry operations can I perform with HyDesign?
HyDesign comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of geometry operations, including adding primitive shapes, shelling, offsets, booleans, and emboss.
Can I export design from HyDesign?
Exporting your designs from HyDesign is straightforward and user-friendly. You can directly download your designs to your local drive from the cloud in various formats, including STL, 3MF, CLI, and PNG stack. There’s no limitation on the number of exports.
How can I design with the Ultrasim® 3D Lattices?
The Ultrasim® 3D Lattices allow you to easily and confidently design parts with ideal mechanical performances, reducing trial-and-error. You can access the validated lattices in two ways. First, you can purchase physical Ultrasim® 3D Lattice Test Pads from Forward AM here. There are Test Pads for Footwear, Seating and Protection. Second, you can access the digital Ultrasim® 3D Lattice Library via Forward-AM’s website here.
What is the trial period for HyDesign?
Explore HyDesign’s capabilities with a 30-day full-access trial with beta access simulations (Queue up to 2 simulations and continue iterating designs at the same speed while they run.)
What other features are planned for HyDesign?
We will continue making complex design workflows as accessible as possible. Features on the roadmap may include reusing workflows for new imported objects, structural simulations and topology optimization.
What are the advantages of utilizing cloud-based software for design projects?
Cloud-based software for design projects offers numerous advantages, including facilitating collaboration among remote team members, eliminating the need for software installations or specific hardware requirements, allowing seamless work across multiple devices, and providing increased flexibility and convenience for users.
