Atomic Layer of the Day:
nTop (formerly nTopology) is the developer of specialized software for designing complex parts with intricate internal geometries, primarily aimed at additive manufacturing (though not limited to this technology). While quite well-known in the 3D market, its offerings are highly specialized and refined. However, this doesn't pose a problem for Nvidia, which sees great potential in nTop and has decided to express this with a multimillion-dollar investment.
NVentures, Nvidia's venture capital arm, has decided to invest several million dollars in nTop to deepen their collaboration and support the development of software that already leverages the computational power of Nvidia's graphics processors (GPUs). The main goal of this collaboration is to integrate nTop's software with Nvidia technologies, such as the Omniverse platform and the OptiX rendering tool.
Omniverse is a platform that enables the development of applications for various industries, from game creation to real-world environment simulations. Through integration with nTop, engineers will gain the ability to visualize their designs in a realistic manner and interact with them in real-time. One of the first outcomes of this collaboration is the introduction of adaptive rendering, which enables fast rendering of complex geometries and designs.
nTop also collaborates with other software developers, such as Autodesk and Materialise. However, Nvidia’s investment and further integration of nTop’s technology with its tools aim to accelerate and simplify engineering design processes while enhancing simulation realism and production capabilities.
