Their software makes it possible to create optimal parts for 3D printing almost automatically. For additive manufacturing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/startup-3d-amendate-13092018\/\">AMendate\u2019s software<\/a> is ingenious because it allows a simple and automatic prodedure of optimisation of technical components, replacing the very complex processes for producing lightweight geometries. Back in September we interviewed Thomas Reiher who told us that the software is suited for any user who wishes to make savings on the weight of the product whilst still increasing its solidity.<\/p><div class=\"dnati-inside-article-leaderboard\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"dnati-3909942143\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/app.swapcard.com\/login\/event\/additiv-defense-2026\/ticket\/VGlja2V0VHlwZV83MDM4MQ==\/page\/UmVnaXN0cmF0aW9uRm9ybV81NjE4Ng==\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"LB\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/LB.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"850\" height=\"150\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_11052\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/amendate.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11052\" class=\"wp-image-11052 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/amendate.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/amendate.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/amendate-300x98.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/amendate-160x52.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11052\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Software Designs by AMendate<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2018, the startup experienced a steady and strong growth.
