Design & Re-design

By mastering design rules and tools, we help you to maximize the benefits of additive manufacturing

Optimization: Advanced design tools and the freedom native to AM design makes highly optimized parts and products possible. Perfecting mass, volume, eigen modes, or thermal conduction make a real difference when performance is decisive.

Streamlining: Product complexity can be drastically reduced by merging several parts—even dozens—allowing substantial cost savings and increased reliability.

Adding new, built-in functions increases end products’ added value.

• Integrated power and signal routing: by printing electrical wires inside structural metallic parts, CSEM’s patented and proven technology opens the door wide to the design of parts featuring advanced, built-in functions such as sensors.

• Integrated mobile parts based on built-in printed flexure elements can replace ball or friction bearings, guaranteeing infinite motion lifetime, even in harsh or stringent environments (space; corrosive; ultra-clean).

• Heating or cooling channels can be integrated into mechanical parts—a significant asset when a part has to be thermalized (molding industry; vacuum technologies).
