The competitive pressure across the industry means that it is no longer sufficient to design and manufacture fans that work. Energy efficiency over an extended operating range has become a vital objective of design effort along with performance to suit the machine’s intended application. **Wouldn't it be great to automate your fan design optimization?** You can with 3D inverse design technology.   **![fan3.png](https://blog.adtechnology.com/hs-fs/hubfs/fan3.png?width=250&height=254&name=fan3.png)** **J****oin us for our webinar; we** will show you how a centrifugal fan/blower stage consisting of an impeller and volute can be optimized for improved stage performance using the [TURBOdesign Suite](https://www.adtechnology.com/products): - TURBOdesign Pre for mean line design. - TURBOdesign1 for 3D blade design by using a 3D inverse design approach. - TURBOdesign volute for a novel volute design using a 2D inverse approach. - TURBOdesign 3Dlab for generation of solid models.    **The following high-level steps will be shown:** - Performance simulation and review of a complete (i.e. impeller + volute) stage. - Key choice of design parameters for the impeller and volute design. - Control and manipulation parameters include blade loading for the impeller and specified inlet velocity distribution for the volute. - Performance simulation and review of the optimized design.   [![Playback the Webinar](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2115715/bd84820d-e6f2-43f9-bdc8-fbbf23a6d101.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2115715/bd84820d-e6f2-43f9-bdc8-fbbf23a6d101) ### Book a LIVE demo on the design of a turbomachinery application of your choice.
