Strategic collaboration brings physics-driven generative design capabilities to engineers and manufacturers across India and beyond.

London, January 23rd, 2026 — ToffeeX, a leader in physics-driven generative design software, today announced a strategic partnership with Excel3D, a global advanced manufacturing platform accelerating the adoption of next-generation technologies. Together, the two companies will drive the adoption of thermal-aware generative design across engineering and advanced manufacturing workflows in India and internationally.

Closing the gap between innovation and real-world impact

Excel3D was founded on a fundamental insight: cutting-edge manufacturing technologies often fail to reach their potential because the gap between research and production remains too wide. Built by a team of seasoned industry professionals and chartered engineers, Excel3D has spent years helping organizations transition from conventional manufacturing to future-ready solutions.

By combining ToffeeX’s generative design platform with Excel3D’s strategic consulting, hands-on training, and new product development services, the partnership removes friction from adoption.

Excel3D’s mission to empower industry leaders, engineers, researchers, and innovators aligns perfectly with ours,” said Marco Pietropaoli, CEO and co-founder of ToffeeX.

“Together, we’re helping organizations develop a new approach to thermal design and advanced manufacturing. This partnership reflects our commitment to making physics-driven generative design accessible, practical, and impactful across industries.

The collaboration extends ToffeeX’s footprint in strategic markets while bringing Excel3D’s implementation expertise and industry relationships into the thermal design and optimization space.
