ATOA’s FORM design Services
Product Engineering by Surface Design
Form–Geometry is the starting point of engineering product design. While conventional engineering has relied heavily on Cartesian grids and orthogonal layouts, nature reveals that true efficiency and elegance lie in curves, spirals, tessellations, and minimal surfaces. What looks complex at first glance—whether a seashell, honeycomb, or butterfly wing—is often governed by simple mathematical laws such as the Golden Ratio, Fibonacci sequence, or minimal surface equations. High-performance, sustainable, and aesthetic designs are possible when we translate these natural equations into engineering surfaces. ATOA provides analytical, parametric, and equation based surface modelling as a complete design service solution for novel product development.
Form–Geometry Design Simulation Solutions
Parametric equation of a surface and its interaction is critical to predict its performance and extend its utility for Engineering products. We offer form-geometry engineering simulations spanning both analytical and numerical (CAD-to-CAE) approaches for:
Virtual prototyping of curved shells, minimal surfaces, and parametric geometries
Tessellation and modular construction of exotic curved structures
3D printing of complex ruled, spiral, and gyroidal surfaces
Topological analysis for lightweight yet strong structures
We provide the following basic Form–Geometry solutions:
Ruled Surface Applications – hyperboloids for cooling towers, hyperbolic paraboloids for tensile roofs, cylindroids for ducts.
Surfaces of Revolution – shells, spheres, pseudospheres, and dimpled spheres for aerospace, domes, and microdrones.
Spiral Surfaces – helicoids, screws, and Dini’s surfaces for turbines, burrowers, and dew collectors.
Wave Pattern Surfaces – conical wave, Fresnel wave, velaroid, and Coons blends for acoustics, optics, and tensile membranes.
Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces (TPMS) – Schwarz P/D, I-WP, Gyroid for lattices, filtration, scaffolds, and photonics.
Exotic Surfaces – Möbius strips, Klein bottles, Roman and Enneper surfaces for topological circuits, artistic bridges, and metamaterials.
Multiphysics Form–Geometry Coupled Solutions
Our MultiPhysics specialty, coupling geometry with physics offers:
Flow–Surface Interaction: CFD on biomimetic flow diverters and interfacial capture devices.
Electromagnetic–Geometry Coupling: gyroid photonic crystals, Klein bottle circuits.
Structural–Curvature Coupling: hyperboloid shells for tall towers and deployable origami paraboloids for space structures.
Thermal–Geometric Interaction: pseudosphere solar concentrators and tessellated dome collectors.
Optical + Geometrical Coupling: Fresnel wave surfaces for lightweight lenses and coatings.
Emerging Form–Geometry Engineering
Our focus on emerging technologies includes:
Metasurfaces and Metamaterials – gyroidal lattices and acoustic/optical crystals for wave control.
Miniaturization of Surfaces – CNT Möbius nano-belts, TPMS micro-filters, nanophotonic gyroids.
Deployable Structures – origami-inspired hyperbolic paraboloids for space antennas and shelters.
Bioinspired Flow Devices – elliptical cylindroid interfacial collectors for droplets and particles.
Programmable Matter – exotic topological manifolds for reconfigurable electronics and robotics.
ATOA’s New Addition to Form–Geometry Solutions
3D Printing of Mathematical Surfaces – gyroid scaffolds, Klein bottles, spiral vases, helicoidal turbines.
Parametric Design Apps – for generating, tessellating, and analyzing complex ruled, spiral, and minimal surfaces.
Topology-based Engineering Databases – libraries of CAD-ready surfaces for architectural and industrial applications.
By incorporating these geometries into architecture, engineering systems, and materials science, we can create products and structures that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, while also optimizing resource usage and enhancing performance, leading to more sustainable and efficient technologies. The future of engineering innovation will continue to benefit from the study and application of these natural and mathematical forms. Nature’s intricate forms and patterns can serve as a blueprint for functional, efficient engineering designs. ATOA’s Form design service will enable this for our clients for innovative applications.
