Materialise Launches Magics 12.1 for RP&M

By DE Editors

Materialise NV (Leuven, Belgium) launched Magics 12.1, the new version of its software for the Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing (RP&M) industry. New features increase Magics' added value for RP&M professionals, in efficiency, quality and user-friendliness.

Features of Magics 12.1 serve to streamline the RP&M process and increase the productivity of RP&M professionals. Features include the ability to perforate a hole through a wall instead of through the entire part, so that you can easily make drain holes for hollow parts or trapped volumes; you can now perform a more user-friendly teeth cut to assure a perfect fit of parts that had to be cut because they were too big to fit on the platform; a thumbnail preview of .magics files in Windows Explorer will help you easily recognize files; you can automatically scale down parts that are too large to fit in the Magics workspace; and you can edit textured parts with increased flexibility.

Magics 12.1 interfaces with e-Stage, the new and fully automated technology for support generation. e-Stage automates the work preparation process when supporting SLA parts by eliminating manual editing. It also optimizes the build process and cuts finishing time by generating its unique support structure. With e-Stage, Materialise takes a major leap forward in realizing its ambition to automate the entire RP&M process.
