New and Improved Modules: The Sintermodule features a multi-core 3D-Nester that automatically nests your parts in 3D, in real time. In addition, the nester analyzes the part geometry in order to maximize the number of parts in the build envelope while simultaneously minimizing build height and powder consumption. Improved Support Generation modules allow users to get most out of our powerful software. For our metal customers, we have introduced a new support type dedicated to metal sintering. We have also introduced interactive angled supports to reduce finishing time and achieve the best part quality possible. In addition to drastically optimizing speed, Materialise’s software developers have continued innovating, resulting in exciting new functionalities for this latest release. With Magics¹⁷ we are proud to introduce: quality measurement reports the detection of trapped volumes (for stereolithography), the nest density verification (for laser sintering), integration with Streamics and e-Stage 6.1 and much more. Support Generation Module Ensure perfect parts and reduce crashes. • Stereolithography - automatically generate/edit supports with customizable parameters • Metal - decrease post-processing time and manage internal tensions Sinter Module Save time, money, and material by optimizing builds. • Automate 3D nesting based on part geometry Fit2Ship Module Be sure your part is accurate and arrives safely. • RapidFit - Quickly design cost-effective fixtures for part measurement, assembly, shipping and display • FormFit - Design custom foam blocks for safe transportation Internal Structures Module Improve part performance with lightweight structures. • Reduce weight, maintain strength and save materials Material Development Research Module Stabilize your AM process and investigate scanning methodologies. • Optimize build parameters in the development and qualification of materials
