3DPOD Episode 46: Engineering CAD with nTopology CEO Brad Rothenberg
Max and I had a really great time talking to nTopology CEO Brad Rothenberg. Brad started nTopology as a series of tools for creating lattices, but it became much more than that with a new way of modeling and simulating using signed distance functions to form an equation describing a shape. Also called volumetric modeling or implicit modeling, this technique makes shapes easy to describe and modify. This compares to the the cumbersome way through which STLs describe all the winding triangles in large files that take ages to render or modify. This is a new path to making and describing…
