Prepare for an electrifying begin to the brand new season of the VoxelMatters Podcast! Our friends for this primary episode of 2024 are Josefine Lissner and Lin Kayser, co-founders of computational engineering agency LEAP71.
In 2024, we’re diving headfirst into the boundless world of additive manufacturing, exploring an array of functions spanning industries, supplies, and components
To kick off this journey, we’ve acquired a rare story to share with you. Brace yourselves for a game-changing narrative about an organization that’s not simply redesigning components for AM however reimagining them – by means of code!
Meet LEAP71, the pioneers of a revolutionary computational engineering method to half design. They aren’t simply reworking the best way we create a few of the world’s most cutting-edge merchandise; they’re additionally shaping the way forward for 3D printing, making it an indispensable cornerstone of tomorrow’s manufacturing.
LEAP71 has wowed us with their mind-boggling creations (you may see a few of their newest work within the photograph gallery under), working with business giants like AMCM and the Fraunhofer Institute. Whereas we’ve heard about parametric and generative design for at the very least a decade, LEAP71 has taken a quantum “leap” past present 3D design software program.
What’s extra, they’re doing this by open-sourcing a lot of their data, together with their superior PicoGK (“peacock”), geometry kernel for Computational Engineering Fashions, which was launched beneath the permissive Free and Open Supply (FOSS) Apache 2.0 license.
On this episode, we sit down with the masterminds behind LEAP71, who additionally occur to represent the corporate’s total workforce. Collectively, we unravel how they’re harnessing software program algorithms to craft the subsequent period of exceptionally complicated bodily merchandise, from rocket engines to energy-efficient warmth exchangers or electrical motors.
