Majorv3.0.0Nov 8, 2026

sphereneNXT 3.0 lets you compare designs side by side and build your own result fields in Simulation.

  • Compare designs puts your generation results side by side: each keeps the parameters it was computed with, its volume and its material fraction. A Design summary sums up a single result.
  • Split into pieces breaks a generated result into its disconnected parts, so you can keep, hide or export each one on its own.
  • Mapping in the Simulation results: write a formula from the result fields, for example a safety factor, and get your own computed field to colour by, analyse or extract a point map from. Computed fields are saved with the project.
  • Simulation: additive-manufacturing material presets, a solve report, point maps you can rename and download as CSV, Min/Max labels on the result and a clearer Probe. Extract point map can scale linearly, exponentially or by a power law and clamp to its own limits.
  • Fewer surprises at Solve: after you move, rotate or scale a body, Mesh uses it where it now sits, the pre-check no longer warns about problems that are not there, and a failed solve says why and what to try next.
  • Reassigning a part’s envelope asks whether to keep its parameters, so cell size, density, thickness and point maps can move to the new envelope.
  • The browser address is your project: reload or share the link and the project opens again. If a Save is refused because the project changed elsewhere, you choose to load the newer version or overwrite it. Exports keep the position, rotation and scale you gave the object.
  • Projects open in an isometric view framed like their thumbnail. View ▸ Axis Labels shows distances along X, Y and Z, measurements land on the visible surface and keep their size when you zoom, and ? opens the list of keyboard shortcuts.
Majorv2.0.0Sep 16, 2026

sphereneNXT 2.0 opens the Simulation workbench.

  • The Simulation workbench is open: a SIMULATION section sits beside DESIGN in the sidebar, with its own guided wizard.
  • Give your part a material, constraints and loads, then mesh it, solve it and read the result in the viewport.
  • Simulation follows your plan; on the Maker plan, which has no simulation module, the section stays visible but closed and says why.
  • Export no longer asks before it charges: the first click exports and charges, and a toast says so.
  • The X on the cloud-save toast now cancels the upload instead of only hiding the toast.
Minorv1.4.0Sep 8, 2026

sphereneNXT 1.4 caps the suggested Cell Size at your part’s wall thickness.

  • The suggested Cell Size is now capped at your part’s wall thickness; a thin-walled part could be offered a cell that computed no solid.
  • After a compute the viewport shows the result, not the bodies it was built from; they return when the last result goes away.
  • Ordinary pop-ups can be dragged out of the way from any spot that is not a button, field or link.
Minorv1.3.0Sep 6, 2026

sphereneNXT 1.3 adds the Beams lattice infill and implicit 3MF output.

  • Beams: a new infill alongside ADMS and TPMS — struts meeting at nodes.
  • Choose the Beams cell as Voronoi, Tetrahedral or Stellated in the Cell Parameter window, optionally kept inside the envelope.
  • Node Diameter sets joint size as a constant or a variable field.
  • A Beams wizard walks Envelope → Cell → Thickness → Node Diameter → Boundary → Details → Compute, previewing each choice.
  • “Output Implicit” makes Compute return an implicit 3MF beside the tessellated mesh.
  • On B-Rep bodies a click picks the face, not the flood-fill pop-up, and a double-click no longer takes the whole object.
  • A Finish button lets Boundary, Cavity and Volcano collect several regions in one session, instead of each new selection overwriting the last.
  • The mesh inside a 3MF is now compressed: an export is about a quarter of the same mesh as binary STL, down from nearly twice it.
Minorv1.2.0Aug 13, 2026

sphereneNXT 1.2 puts the solid labyrinth under your control.

  • Printability exposes Labyrinth Surgery as a switch — you control how the solid labyrinth is cleaned up.
  • Spike Iterations and a Min. Channel Radius sit beneath the switch.
  • On “Default” the engine derives the radius from the solid voxel size; “User Defined” holds a channel open at a size you choose.
  • The cross-section plane has a visible handle and a cut wall you can grab and drag in the viewport.
  • The cut face is neutral transparent grey instead of orange, and chambers keep their own colours rather than merging into one mass.
  • Apply one value to every flood-fill selection at once, or select and tune each region on its own instead of the last edit overwriting the rest.
  • Boundary, Cavity and Volcano gained a “Pick a Surface” action that arms the pick immediately and lets the first click name the body.
  • A Boundary target thickness is drawn in the viewport as a hull, so the thickness you typed is the thickness you see.
Minorv1.1.0Jul 22, 2026

sphereneNXT 1.1 turns surfaces into inputs and opens heavy results far faster.

  • Boundary, Cavity and Volcano take a face-level selection on imported CAD (STEP/IGES) and a flood-fill region on meshes.
  • A fillet, a bore or a whole shell side is one input instead of a hand-placed approximation.
  • CSV point sets can be imported and displayed coloured by value, with a gradient legend and a per-set eye.
  • Heavy results open far faster: a project paints a preview of the visible layers immediately, then upgrades to full resolution in the background.
  • Hidden result layers download only when you first show them, and result parsing moved off the main thread.
  • Orbiting turns around the surface point under your cursor.
  • Exported .spherene project files round-trip cleanly back into the workbench, and export filenames follow the project instead of a generic default.
  • An expired licence shows the upgrade path instead of a “service unavailable” error, and a revoked seat is blocked with a message that says so.
Patchv1.0.2Jul 8, 2026

sphereneNXT 1.0.2 steadies viewport navigation and makes the Help panel searchable.

  • Free rotation tumbles continuously over the top and bottom poles instead of locking up.
  • The camera holds its framing through an import or a finished compute.
  • A middle-mouse click on a surface sets the rotation pivot there — Blender- and Rhino-style — without moving the view.
  • After a computation the computed Part’s Envelope eye turns off automatically — remembered through save and reopen — so the fresh result stands out.
  • Default cell size and density suggestions account for a body’s gizmo scale, so a scaled Envelope is measured for the right volume.
  • Reaching your plan’s simulation limit shows a clear message with an upgrade prompt instead of a generic failure.
  • Every compute-complete notification carries a “View report” action that reopens that run’s technical report, even after it has been cleared from the panel.
  • The in-app Help panel is searchable and filterable across documentation and blog articles, with a clear no-results state.
Patchv1.0.1Jul 4, 2026

sphereneNXT 1.0.1 adds multi-currency credits and per-job engine choice.

  • Buy credits in CHF, EUR or USD — the pack prices you preview and the amount you are charged both follow your choice.
  • Take control of which emails you receive in a redesigned Notifications section of Settings.
  • The in-panel high-performance toggle becomes a performance picker, shown at compute time for eligible jobs.
  • The suggested cell size fills in reliably: small suggestions no longer collapse to zero.
  • One picker combines colour and transparency: a checkerboard swatch shows translucency, a hex field takes precise values.
  • File → Export gains a layer picker: choose which result layers to write, and bundle several into one zip.
  • Multi-format and multi-Part results no longer collapse into a single file.
  • Press “i” to isolate the selected body or result.
Majorv1.0.0Jun 28, 2026

sphereneNXT 1.0 is generally available — browser-native CAD from import to export.

  • Generate ADMS with the Spongify algorithm: an optimized, self-supporting minimal-surface structure for additive manufacturing.
  • Choose ADMS Standard or ADMS Flow, controlled by cell size, density and thickness — uniform, or driven spatially by a Point Map.
  • Shape the result with a full modifier stack of Boundary, Cavity, Detail, Volcano and Boolean.
  • Fill any part with TPMS (triply periodic minimal surface) infills, each on its own card, so distinct lattices layer within a single structure.
  • Import STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ, PLY and 3MF anywhere CAD is accepted — in a project, at the Envelope step, or in your cloud library.
  • Export a whole project to a single file, or results per mesh — Single, Solid, HalfSpace or Chamber.
  • Every run begins with a pre-flight estimator that predicts compute time and memory, using the same engine that runs outside the browser.
  • Buy credits without leaving sphereneNXT — by card or enterprise order, priced in your billing currency, with your VAT number on the invoice.
