FAQ
Your Guide to a Smoother Workflow.
Get up and running with Spherene quickly. Our FAQ is your go-to resource for everything from initial setup and CAD integration to licensing, pricing, and technical support. Need a more personal touch? Our dedicated team is ready to help.
What CAD platforms does Spherene currently integrate with?
Spherene integrates with Rhino, Grasshopper, nTop, and Autodesk Fusion, with more integrations planned in the future. Stay tuned!
How often are updates released for these integrations?
Spherene integrations are updated regularly to add new features, improve stability, and ensure compatibility with the latest CAD versions. Be sure to check our product release pages for more information.
Do I need a separate license for each CAD platform?
No, your Spherene license covers all supported integrations.
Can I use Spherene simultaneously across multiple CAD tools?
Yes, your license allows you to work across multiple CAD platforms concurrently.
How does Spherene integrate into my existing CAD workflow?
Spherene adds a plugin directly within your CAD platform, allowing you to create and manipulate advanced lattice structures without leaving your design environment.
Can I apply Spherene lattices to existing CAD geometry?
Absolutely. Spherene supports lattice generation on imported or pre-existing CAD geometry and meshes across all integrations.
Will my CAD files remain compatible if I share them with someone who doesn’t have Spherene?
Yes, Spherene exports standard CAD geometry and mesh formats. Recipients can view and edit the model without needing Spherene, though lattice-specific parametric features may not be editable.
In what formats can I export Spherene-generated lattices?
Spherene supports common CAD formats like STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF, and native mesh formats.
What security, compliance, and deployment options are available for Spherene?
- Security Architecture (Defense-in-Depth)
• Encrypted Identity: We use a unified token system integrated directly with OS-level secure storage (e.g., macOS Keychain), ensuring credentials are never exposed.
• Isolated Execution: All computation runs in strictly isolated, non-root containers. Whether on-premise or cloud, your data processing is segregated from the host system.
• Active Hardening: Our platform includes built-in protection against modern web threats (XSS, DoS) and automatically masks sensitive data in logs.
- Compliance
• Supply Chain Transparency: We provide SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials) via CycloneDX, allowing instant verification of our software components.
- Flexible Deployment
SaaS (Managed Cloud)
We operate fully managed, secure environments with strict data residency options:
• Switzerland (Premium Data Residency): Hosted on Google Cloud (Zurich) or Microsoft Azure (Zurich).
• Germany (High-Performance): Hosted on Hetzner for cost-effective, dedicated metal performance.
On-Premises (Self-Hosted)
• Kubernetes (Coming Soon): We are finalizing standardized Helm Charts, enabling you to run Spherene directly in your own data centers with full air-gapped capabilities.
