LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- ParaMatters, a leader in autonomous topology optimization and generative lightweighting design, today announced the immediate availability of its CogniCAD platform at CES 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada, January 9-12, 2018. CogniCAD is a cloud-based, cognitive design platform that is capable of automatically generating additive manufacturing for high-performance, lightweighted structures within aerospace, automotive and other mission critical applications. Interested customers and strategic partners are invited to experience how ParaMatters technology is making additive manufacturing the lightweighting engine of choice for automotive and aerospace companies at Techniplas booth #9100 in the Las Vegas Convention Center.
"We are thrilled to launch CogniCAD, the ultimate generative design and lightweighting tool that the entire industry has been waiting for," said co-founder and CTO Michael Bogomolny. "The technology represents the convergence of advanced topology optimization techniques, computational geometry, infinite computing power in the cloud, and artificial intelligence."
CogniCAD is immediately available for use and can be easily accessed via www.paramatters.com as a pay per design cloud-based service. The company is concurrently exploring several other subscription and enterprise based models as well as complimentary strategic partnerships.
In addition to speeding up the entire innovation cycle, ParaMatters is developing advanced algorithms that are designed to enhance the overall digital thread and additive manufacturing capabilities. This includes a new cloud-based, generative design platform that automatically on demand compiles lightweight and metamaterial lattice structures based on size, weight, strength, style, materials and cost as specified by designers or engineers.
"We are transforming the entire design-to-manufacturing process by making it autonomous and automated to generate high-quality, optimized lightweighted designs," said Bogomolny. "Our proprietary generative engine automatically delivers high performance and quality designs with minimal user input. As a result, the entire design cycle is compressed from days to hours, and raises the quality of generative designs compared to what can be achieved manually."
CogniCAD works by first importing CAD files into the platform, and then defining loading and design criteria. Within minutes, users can obtain generative design verified and ready for 3D printing. All of ParaMatters generated designs can be directly produced using additive manufacturing.
The company also announced that as part of its growing automotive focus, it has joined Techniplas' open innovation program. Techniplas is a leading global design and manufacturing provider of automotive products and services. Their program is fostering powerful partnerships and delivering ecosystem-wide benefits from shared technologies and domain expertise to create new opportunities within the 3D printing industry. As a full innovation partner, ParaMatters is exhibiting at CES 2018 with some of the latest lightweighting and additive technology companies within Techniplas' expanding network, which is fast becoming the preeminent hub for industry 4.0 collaboration.
