Design and engineering consultancy Metamorphic AM has launched its Rapid Geometry Review service to make 'high-level design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) expertise more commercially accessible.
According to the company, Rapid Geometry Review will enable users to obtain a structured, expert-led evaluation of additive designs, giving them greater insight before they commit to production builds.
It is being offered in an attempt to reduce risk, accelerate development and improve return on investment for companies looking to take advantage of additive manufacturing.
The service assesses structural logic, printability, material suitability, manufacturability, and 'missed geometric opportunity.' Unlike automated optimisation tools, Rapid Geometry Review combines simulation insight with applied engineering judgement.
Metamorphic AM co-founder Manolis Papastavrou said, “We’ve seen too many projects failing to add value to a product or process because design intent wasn’t fully interrogated early enough. Rapid Geometry Review brings the same engineering scrutiny we apply in major innovation programmes to a format that is faster, commercially accessible, and immediately actionable.”
Co-founder Laurence Coles added, “We are not moving away from frontier innovation. That remains our foundation. What we are doing is extending our perspective to a broader audience. If additive manufacturing is to mature as an industrial technology, world-class DfAM thinking cannot remain confined to flagship projects.”
Rapid Geometry Review is available immediately via the Metamorphic AM website.
