Carbon Design Engine: Powerful Design Software for High-Performance Products
Carbon Design Engine is a cloud-based lattice design software used by Prototek to develop high-performance products. This innovative platform automates the creation of conformal, multi-zone lattices, allowing designers to avoid repetitive work and focus entirely on product innovation.
Accelerated development: from concept to functional lattice in hours
The cloud-powered computation of Carbon Design Engine generates advanced conformal lattices in minutes. Paired with professional 3D printers, it enables a seamless workflow from initial concept to final functional part in just a few hours.
This speed reduces development cycles and accelerates the path to market-ready components.
“Designed for Designers”: save time and eliminate manual tasks
Carbon Design Engine is specifically built for daily designers. Its intuitive interface and powerful algorithms remove the need for tedious manual modeling, leaving room for creativity and engineering optimization. Designers can define density, orientation, and performance parameters for each lattice zone, maintaining full control over the final design.
Proven in
Real-World Production
Carbon Design Engine is widely tested and adopted by leading companies to deliver award-winning products.
Integrated into Prototek’s workflow, the platform ensures a rapid, precise, and repeatable transition from digital model to physical part, guaranteeing top-quality results even in the most complex projects.
With Carbon Design Engine, multiple performance zones can be defined within a single component and independently optimized.
The software seamlessly merges these zones, creating smooth transitions between areas of varying stiffness or density, resulting in functional, lightweight, and visually appealing lattices.
This approach allows components to be optimized for mechanical, sporting, or medical applications, adapting material properties to meet specific product requirements.
