Professional software for the RP & M industry

Magics fills the gaps in your RP process

Rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing (RP& M) isn't just about owning a machines that can build parts quickly. It's also about streamlining a process that begins with quoting, data conversion and work preparation, and includes aspects of production planning and quality control as well. All of these elements have to work in harmony to achieve a common goal :speed without sacrificing quality.

Users all over the world agree that Magics is indispensable software for achieving that goal.

Magics RP - additive manufacturing build preparation software

Magis RP software provides a comprehensive solution for rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing build preparation from visualization, file fixing, part modification, nesting and support generation to name just a few.

Magics e-RP - project and process management tool

Magics e-RP is a tailored project and process management tool that helps to automate the complete rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing process. Magics e-RP provides a complete overview of all operations while improving communications, managing data, facilitating planning, ensuring process tractability and enabling reporting capabilities. Magics e-RP also integrates and optimizes a range of automated build preparation operations (e-Tools), such as labeling, slicing, hatching, adding textures and the automated generation of build supports; all of which increase the performance and efficiency of your everyday procedures.

Innovative and Complimentary Software Solutions

A vital factor contributing to the efficiency and success of Materialise Industrial Services prototyping and low volume production operations is the use of Materialise's innovative software solutions. Materialise leads the development and provision of integrated software products and services for the RP&M (Rapid Prototyping & Manufacturing) professional. These leading software solutions automate the entire RP&M workflow from the 3D CAD file all the way to the final product, including data management and resource planning Optimal Efficiency In order to provide cost-effective solutions with the shortest lead-times in the industry, it is essential that the most efficient software is employed to ensure optimal performance.

Advanced work preparation

In order to provide unique rapid prototyping and manufacturing solutions to our wide range of customers, we need to perform many file operations to adapt or prepare files for building on a rapid prototyping machine. Such operations include automatic file fixing, nesting, cutting of STL files, automatic support generation slicing of STL files, and import of STL files etc. Magics, the professional software solution for rapid prototyping and manufacturing professionals proves to be the ideal solution for these requirements.

We can easily cut and prepare your parts for building with Magics RP

Automated design operations

With the World's largest rapid prototyping capacity in one location, we build many parts on a daily basis. In order to offer this extensive capacity in conjunction with costefficiency and the shortest lead-times in the industry, it is imperative that we automate as many operations as possible. That's why we utilise the e-Tools developed by Materialise's Software division to automate several steps of the rapid prototyping and manufacturing file preparation stage, for example labelling, nesting, support generation

We can automatically apply textures directly to part surfaces using Materialise's e-Texture tool

Optimal communication, planning,data management and tracability

In our strive for optimal efficiency we have an advanced and customised project and process management software solution in place, known as Magics e-RP. This enables our projects (from initial sales data all the way through to shipment tracking) to be managed and shared on one central system. This facilitates machine and project planning, ensures full part and process tractability. Thanks to the Materialise Software Development Services our Magics e-RP solution is completely tuned to our needs and is fully integrated into our CRM system.

The implementation of the project and process management tool 'Magics e-RP', ensures that maximum efficiency is achieved.

Advanced design modifications Repair and design changes without reverse engineering

We often have requests from customers to scan an object for which no CAD data exists. The scanning process is often unable to capture all the information to automatically recreate the complete geometry of an object, which subsequently leads to the geometry requiring healing and reconstruction. However, instead of reverse engineering the scan data and taking it back to CAD for repair and design changes, we use 3-Matic software to execute repairs and design changes directly on the STL file. This enables us to save significant amounts of time and avoids the errors associated with reverse engineering back to CAD
