London, May 20th, 2025 — ToffeeX, the leader in physics-driven generative design, is pleased to announce its membership in the Aachen Center for Additive Manufacturing (ACAM), joining a vibrant ecosystem of industry leaders, research institutions, and innovators committed to advancing additive manufacturing (AM). 

A platform for practical collaboration

The ACAM network bridges the gap between applied research and industrial need, offering its members access to world-class additive manufacturing capabilities at the RWTH Aachen Campus. ACAM acts as a one-stop shop for AM innovation, supporting the full process chain—from design through to post-processing and quality control.

As a new member, ToffeeX looks forward to contributing to this collaborative environment through joint research projects, technical workshops, and pilot programs. These initiatives provide a platform for solving real-world AM challenges, particularly in high-impact sectors such as aerospace, energy, and mobility.

ToffeeX brings unique value to this ecosystem by equipping engineers with generative design tools that are both physics-informed and manufacturing-aware. By embedding production constraints from the outset, our cloud-based platform ensures that designs, such as heat sinks, cold plates, and manifolds, are optimized not only for thermal performance but also for processes like Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) and Binder Jetting.

Joining ACAM offers us an opportunity to collaborate with leading experts in additive manufacturing, ensuring our engineering solutions are aligned with the latest advancements in AM technologies.


Says Dr. Thomas Rees, Innovation and Technical Strategy Lead at ToffeeX.

Driving best practices and knowledge exchange

Together with ACAM’s member organizations, including renowned partners such as Fraunhofer, ToffeeX will contribute to shaping best practices for Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) and performance optimization.

The partnership between ToffeeX and ACAM underscores a shared belief in the power of collaboration to drive sustainable, high-impact innovation in manufacturing. We’re excited to help push the boundaries of what’s possible in thermal management applications and beyond.
