ABOUT US

FROM A SPARK OF CURIOSITY TO A BREAKTHROUGH DESIGN IN ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

Spherene’s story began in 2018 — with nothing more than a paper model, curiosity, and a spark of inspiration. That spark grew into a bold idea: a new way to shape matter itself. Today, that idea has evolved into Spherene, a patented metamaterial that redefines what’s possible.

At its core lies the Adaptive Density Minimal Surface (ADMS) — a breakthrough innovation that transforms simple two-dimensional patterns into stable, flexible, three-dimensional structures with extraordinary properties.

Driven by engineering challenges, we developed a powerful solution that enables Spherene to create optimal geometries every single time — unlocking unprecedented possibilities for light-weighting, strength, and performance.

Sustainability has been a guiding principle from day one. By enabling efficient, localized manufacturing, Spherene helps companies produce essential parts smarter, faster, and with less waste.

And we’re just getting started. We continue to push the boundaries of design and manufacturing, explore new frontiers, and turn bold ideas into reality — one innovation at a time.

Spherene is more than what we build — it’s who we are.

Our journey starts with curiosity and late-night ideas, tested first by our own team, challenged, refined, and perfected — always with your needs in mind.

We’re engineers, designers, and dreamers who share a passion for pushing boundaries and solving the challenges that matter most to you. Every improvement we make is guided by one goal: to give you an experience that feels effortless, inspiring, and truly valuable for your work.

HEAR FROM OUR CUSTOMERS

«...clearly addressing one of the cross-cutting themes of the ESA technology strategy, but in a novel way.»
Moritz Fontaine, European Space Agency ESA

«Minimal Surfaces are great, but when you are able to adapt density and thickness in design, it turns out an amazing lattice tool for footwear creation.»
René Medel, framas Kunststofftechnik GmbH

«Having explored a few Rhino/ Grasshopper plugins for minimal surface generation, Spherene distinctly stands out. It has a straightforward interface, paired with Spherene's concise tutorials and cloud integration, ensuring rapid iterations of our design studies.»
SliceLab

«Right after I have started to use Gyroids for printing ski boot liners or Schwarz TPMS to work on revolutionary midsole designs we dreamed of a bubble type of infill structure with variable density and wall thickness fitting into any shape.
Now, Spherene just does that!
Easy to use in the design process. Just design any volume and Spherene fills it with printable "bubbles" - easy to vary density and strength as you wish. No booleans needed! Made for 3D printing. Great in after 3D print treatment! Using that unique Swiss software you‘ll get the max out of your 3D printer!»
Reto Rindlisbacher, 3DFIT

«Spherene has proven highly valuable to Fibrenamics’ R&D in advanced materials and product design. Its generative modelling capabilities enable optimized, complex geometries that enhance efficiency and performance. Integrating Spherene strengthens our commitment to scientific excellence, innovation, and sustainable high-performance solutions.»
Luisa Mendes Arruda,  Fibrenamics Universidade do Minho

    2023 - FIRST RELEASE

    We released the first version of Spherene for Rhino and Grasshopper, giving designers and engineers the ability to generate Adaptive Density Minimal Surfaces (ADMS) directly inside their familiar CAD environment. This marked the moment Spherene moved from concept to real-world application.

    2025 CONT'D: INNOVATION AND ACCELERATION FOR GLOBAL SCALE

    In the final quarter of 2025, Spherene reached several important milestones that strengthen our foundation for the next stage of growth.
    We implemented a new CRM system, redesigned and launched our website with a sharper enterprise positioning, and released Spherene for nTop to expand our footprint in advanced design environments.
    We also built and launched our Customer Portal, moved our offices into a new and larger headquarter, and introduced a comprehensive Partner Program to support our international expansion.

    With these achievements, Spherene is now ready to scale its organization and accelerate its international growth in 2026 and beyond.
