How nTop is Revolutionizing Product Design with AI and Accelerated Computing

nTop leverages Artificial Intelligence and GPU-driven tools to empower designers with limitless design iterations and innovations.

Bradley Rothenberg´s passion for computer-aided design (CAD) led him to found nTop, a company transforming the way products are modeled and created. By developing engineering software optimized for GPUs instead of traditional CPUs, nTop enables product designers to leverage parallel processing algorithms and Artificial Intelligence. This technological advancement provides designers with an unprecedented ability to iterate and explore innovative designs rapidly across various industries.

nTop´s tools operate by autonomously generating numerous design iterations, analyzing their performance through simulations, and feeding the insights back into the design process to refine the outcomes. Companies like Ocado have dramatically benefited, redesigning critical components of their autonomous robots with nTop´s software, reducing design times from months to a week and achieving significant improvements in both performance and cost-effectiveness.

nTop is also at the forefront of integrating AI into their design simulations, using NVIDIA´s Modulus, Omniverse platforms, and CUDA-X libraries to train models with specific customer data. This allows for highly tailored and efficient design processes. Industries such as Formula 1 racing have already seen success by using nTop’s capabilities to create high-performance components like heat sinks. As nTop continues to innovate, it anticipates wider industry adoption due to its implicit modeling tools, fostering a collaborative design effort that aligns with proprietary data to optimize results.
