Software company Spherene, based in Zurich, Switzerland, has announced the launch of SphereneNXT, its first standalone, browser-based platform for the design of additively manufactured internal structures.

Chanel: When manufacturing process becomes part of luxury value

SphereneNXT is designed to give engineers across the full product development lifecycle a single place to design, optimise and export Additive Manufacturing-ready internal structures, ADMS (Adaptive Density Minimal Surface) metamaterial structures, TPMS (Triply Periodic Minimal Surface) lattice infills and field-driven adaptive designs, directly in a web browser using cloud computing.

“We pioneered ADMS,” stated Claudio Nessi, CEO, Spherene. “With SphereneNXT, we’re making complex internal design and metamaterial accessible for any engineer and designer, directly in the browser. SphereneNXT comes with many new features and capabilities, and this is just the beginning.”

Internal structure design

SphereneNXT focuses directly on the internal structure of a part. Engineers upload a CAD or mesh file, including multi-body assemblies, and apply Spherene’s patented geometry, ADMS adaptive metamaterial structures or TPMS lattices to the interior geometry.

According to Spherene, SphereneNXT is the only platform that pairs browser-native access with genuine internal structure design capabilities, working on the infill rather than the outer shape. This makes it accessible to engineers regardless of which CAD tools they use.

Structure that adapts to loads

SphereneNXT drives internal structure with spatially varied fields rather than a single uniform infill. Cell size, density, thickness and orientation vary continuously across the part, with material present only where performance requires.

ADMS and TPMS are both smooth minimal surfaces that distribute load across continuous curved walls rather than concentrating it in discrete struts like beam lattices. TPMS are periodic, tiling a fixed unit cell. ADMS are aperiodic and density-field-driven, conforming to the part itself. Both families grow through platform updates, with no reinstallation required.

From CAD file to build-ready

SphereneNXT closes the full design-to-build workflow inside a single platform. Users can import any CAD or mesh file, apply and compute the internal structure, then export to multiple CAD and mesh formats or send directly for Additive Manufacturing.

SphereneNXT also includes improvement tools to ensure the design is suitable for Additive Manufacturing and an advanced meshing algorithm that produces small, defect-free mesh files. Large scans are simplified for display while full resolution is preserved for computation and export.

Live product launch

To mark its market introduction, Spherene will host a live online product presentation, including a demonstration, on July 2, 2026, at 16:00 CET. The session is open to all; those who wish to register can do so here.

SphereneNXT is now available through the company’s site, with different plans available for students, independent makers, professional engineers and enterprise teams.
