Success Stories with HyDesign
Ergonomic Bicycle Saddle
Challenge: Countless trial-and-error
- Overwhelming variety of lattice, material, and printer combinations made prototyping and testing expensive.
- Existing lattice design tools were too computationally intensive for his hardware setup, leading to significant frustration and delays.
“HyDesign was the breakthrough I had been seeking for the past four years. Now, I can leverage HyDesign’s implicit modelling technology and Forward AM’s pre-validated Ultrasim® 3D Lattices, which drastically accelerated my design-prototyping cycles.”

Mass-Customized Kitesurfing Pad by PADICS
Challenge: Searching for high-performance materials
Inability to efficiently customize materials to dampen riders’ weight and movement.
“From a girl (40kg in weight) to a huge guy, we can now achieve unique dampening properties. This increases the riding comfort and performance on the water. And HyDesign helped us create a workflow that is super easy to use. You just import your volume files, and then within seconds, you get a lattice structure with which you can continue developing your product. So I really liked the process, I like the speed of the program, and we will continue to work with it.”

Supercharged Development Cycles with Ultrasim® 3D Lattices
Leverage Forward AM's materials through our Ultrasim® 3D Lattice Library to confidently design elastomeric parts with advanced materials. Optimize your design process to reduce development time and costs, fast-tracking from concept to market-ready products.
3D Printed Molds using TPMS Structures and Ultracur3D® Photopolymers
Take your production process to the next level and create 3D printable molds in just a few clicks. With Ultracur3D® RG 3280 & RG 1100 your molds can be 3D printed quick and easy and lets you take full control of super fast design iterations, development costs and ownership.
One-Click Lattice Engineering Workflow
1. Load STL
- Upload your solid STL file
- Optional: Create and add your heat map (modulation map) to generate multi-zone lattices. Softer or stiffer lattices where it´s needed.
2. Select Lattice
a. Physical Ultrasim® 3D Lattice TestPad
- Choose from pre-selected Forward AM lattices via our Ultrasim® 3D Lattice Test Pad for Footwear, Seating, Protection.
- The Ultrasim® 3D Lattice Test Pad gives you tactile feedback for multiple designs and beam thicknesses, allowing you to chose the right validated lattice that works for the use case.
b. Digital Ultrasim® 3D Lattice Library
-
Supplement tactile feedback from the Test Pads with mechanical performance data. Lattices on the Test Pads are embedded in our Ultrasim® 3D Lattice Library, where all mechanical properties can be found.
- Select the right lattice based on different mechanical properties.
3. Generate and Export Lattice File
- Select the ideal lattice beam thickness and cell size based on the Ultrasim® 3D Lattice Test Pad or Ultrasim® 3D Lattice Library.
- The selected lattice is automatically generated into the part.
- You can export the ready-to-print STL or 3MF file and print your part.
