Materialise NV, world leader in software development for the rapid prototyping and manufacturing (RPandM) industry, announces the release of Magics 11.

Magics is the key element of the Magics ERP Suite, a full range of professional, market-leading software products that will streamline, automate and boost almost every step in your RPandM process.

Magics 11 both consolidates the far-reaching enhancements of Magics X and offers several new and enhanced features, helping RPandM professionals to achieve the highest degree of perfection in every step of their RP process.

Magics 11 is state-of-the-art software, providing its users with exactly the tools they need to outclass competition and to be as efficient, confident and professional as possible.

Magics 11 paves the way for an automatic planning and process control system.

Prepare multiple platforms in a single Magics session, enabling you to plan production on different machines simultaneously.

Even if you have just one machine, the 'Multiplatform' feature can simplify production planning by preparing your consecutive builds.

Free up enormous amounts of memory when dealing with duplicate parts.

Magics 11 uses 'virtual copies' of the original, which allows you to prepare your platforms more quickly and efficiently.

Automate the application of machine-related compensations: you can indicate machine-related parameters in the machine settings in order to let Magics compensate automatically when exporting a platform.

Use Magics 11 to manipulate textured models easily:.

* Apply an image onto the surface of a model.

* Import textured models (VRML and ZPR files).

* Edit and fix the part for prototyping production, while preserving the textures.

* Build your prepared textured model directly on a Z Corp or Contex machine, thanks to the export of ZPR format.

Anticipate future quality issues with the 'Wall Thickness Analysis' function, quickly identify problem areas where the walls of a part are too thin or too thick to be built properly and avoid scrap and build failures.

Thanks to Magics 11's very efficient communication tools, misunderstandings due to communication problems belong to the past.

You can easily add attachments, pictures, drawings and annotations to clarify any element of the 3D model on screen and create different scenes to explain the requirements in detail.

Also, transform GIS surfaces into easy to handle 3D printed models quickly or turn the textured surface GIS data into a solid, watertight model to be built with RP equipment.

Models can be made easy to handle, thanks to a unique material saving functionality.

Magics 11 renews the Z-Compensation to enhance the quality and accuracy of the parts from your SLA machine, thus avoid time-consuming manual part finishing, thanks to the new and efficient algorithm.

Magics 11 further improves support generation through the perfection of 'Cross line' support generation.

The manual gusset support generates teeth and notches to allow for fast, easy removal and the corners of a combined gusset and block support are automatically reinforced, ensuring strong support.
