In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
Materialise has released Magics18, the latest version of its STL file preparation software for additive manufacturing. The new release includes enhanced tools and modules.
Magics applications include repairing and optimizing 3D models; analyzing parts; making process-related design changes on STL files; designing fixtures; documenting projects, and planning production.
New features in Magics18 include new and improved cutting tools; expanded measurement options, with built-in ISO standard tolerances; enhanced surface-to-solid functionality; improved wall thickness analysis; and expanded reporting options.
There are also a number of new modules. With SinterModule, users can view build heights and easily distribute parts over these heights.
