Where Materialise Magics fits in a print project

  1. 01

    Import and inspect the part data before arranging the build.

  2. 02

    Choose orientations, supports and nesting to suit the selected process.

  3. 03

    Use the appropriate machine integration and review the prepared build with production requirements in mind.

These are planning steps, not machine settings. Use your printer and material documentation for the actual production process.

Before you choose

Understand the tradeoffs.

Modules and machine integrations are part of the purchasing decision. Confirm the exact process, build processor and automation capabilities included in a quote.

Common questions

Is Magics mainly for designing a part from scratch?

Its core role is additive data and build preparation. It complements upstream design software and connects the design to a machine-specific production workflow.
