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

Magics software enables you to import a wide variety of CAD formats and to export files ready for rapid prototyping, tooling and manufacturing. Its applications include repairing and optimising 3D models; analyzing parts; making process-related design changes on your STL files; designing fixtures; documenting your projects; production planning and much more.

Easy, automated and advanced support generation The optimal support for every geometry Support structures are needed to prevent distortion of rapid prototypes and to keep everything in place during the stereolithography or metal sintering process. Magics’ Support Generation module automatically and quickly creates the optimal supports for every part on the building platform. Magics offers a wide range of support structures that can be combined, depending on surface geometry. The user is in full control All automatically generated support structures can be modified individually and in great detail by manually adding, cutting and eliminating supports. Maximal reliability, part integrity and ease of removal of support structures Magics greatly eases support removal and ensures high surface quality by offering the possibility to add teeth or lower some of the ribs of a point support. To further ease removal of supports and save on resin, the support structures can be perforated.
Pack it SMART! Save Material And Reduce Time The Magics SmartSpace module enables optimal loading for your sintering machine, and is fast and easy to use. The software automatically nests your parts in 3D, and, by analysing the part geometry, it maximises the number of parts in the build envelope while simultaneously minimising the build time. 8 good reasons to choose Magics SmartSpace: Save time in optimising your platform Minimise powder consumption Lower your production costs Reduce production time Automatically reduce build height to its absolute minimum Avoid collisions and interlocking situations through built-in intelligence Maximise the number of parts in the build envelope Maximise machine productivity For more info, download the product flyer.
Fast, efficient FEA/CFD pre-processing on STL models Magics' Remesh module enables easy, automated geometry preparation of your STL model for FE analysis. When you lack a CAD model to start from or when the CAD model is defective and thus impossible to mesh, Magics’ Remesh technology furnishes you with an STL file ready for FEA input. While STL files excel for use in rapid prototyping (RP) and tooling, they are not always immediately useful for FEA purposes because of the shape of the triangles. Many STL models contain skewed triangles. Such triangulation effectively prevents the creation of a good volume mesh, which is necessary for accurate FE analysis. Magics’ Remesh Module allows for quick, easy mesh optimisation. Its range of meshing tools includes: 1. Full remeshing (from arbitrarily bad-quality triangle mesh to good-quality triangle mesh) 2. Mesh coarsening 3. Mesh refining 4. Triangle growth control 5. Smoothing 6. Inspection tools (e.g. dangling edges, non-manifold edges, sharp geometry, self-intersections, wall thickness, ...) 7. Grouping visualization 8. Wrapping for gap filling and de-featuring
