Exploring turbomachinery design for additive manufacturing
Additive manufacturing, combined with advanced engineering design software like nTop, can help you lightweight structures, streamline supply chains, and reduce the number of required components in producing turbomachinery.
In this guide, you’ll learn how nTop can help you optimize your new or legacy turbomachinery components for aerospace and defense applications through fluid management, lightweighting, and thermal management.
Is Your Software
Ready for Additive Manufacturing
You can only reap the benefits of additive manufacturing for thermal management if you right the right design tools.
Discover how to improve fluid and aerodynamic performance through:
Fluid management: See how you can reduce pressure drop and energy consumption, as well as optimize mixing, decrease vibrations, and control acoustic attenuation.
Lightweighting: Learn how you can increase payloads and range, reduce material usage, and lower manufacturing costs through lightweighting.
Thermal management: Find out how to extend operational life, improve safety, and enhance system performance with thermal management.

Implicit Modeling
A fundamentally different and unbreakable modeling technology that delivers unprecedented speed, scalability, and reliability
How does it relate to turbomachinery?
Even the most complex lattice structures or shells are generated in seconds. Modeling operations are extremely robust, ensuring that your models will not break even when you make radical changes.
Field-Driven Design
A new design method that enables you to control geometry at every point in space directly from simulation results, test data, and engineering formulas.
How does it relate to turbomachinery?
You can control key design parameters from CFD fields and thermal data. Advanced implementations enable you to build generative design workflows based on iterative geometry generation and simulation.
Blocks & Codeless Automation
A block-based approach to design automation that allows you to speed up design iterations and package engineering processes.
How does it relate to turbomachinery?
During design exploration, blocks enable you to quickly test new ideas. In later stages, reusable workflows allow you to automatically generate geometry and run computational design of experiments to refine your designs.
