Beyond CAD: How nTop Uses AI And Accelerated Computing To Enhance Product Design
NVIDIA News, Friday, April 11th, 2025
As a teenager, Bradley Rothenberg was obsessed with CAD: computer-aided design software. Before he turned 30, Rothenberg channeled that interest into building a startup, nTop, which today offers product developers - across vastly different industries - fast, highly iterative tools that help them model and create innovative, often deeply unorthodox designs.
One of Rothenberg's key insights has been how closely iteration at scale and innovation correlate - especially in the design space.
He also realized that by creating engineering software for GPUs, rather than CPUs - which powered (and still power) virtually every CAD tool - nTop could tap into parallel processing algorithms and AI to offer designers fast, virtually unlimited iteration for any design project. The result: almost limitless opportunities for innovation.
