Spherene

Spherene is a Swiss software company in Zurich that develops Adaptive Density Minimal Surfaces, or ADMS, a patented geometry that turns simple two-dimensional patterns into stable, lightweight three-dimensional structures. The idea began in 2018 with a paper model and became a tool for designing the internal architecture of additively manufactured parts.

Its platform, available as a Rhino/Grasshopper plugin and a cloud service, lets engineers vary density and thickness across a lattice so that stiffness, weight and material use can be tuned locally. Applications run from space hardware and aerospace brackets to footwear midsoles, and the company works with the European Space Agency and industrial partners on qualifying the technology.
