Materialise software · supplied and supported by IME

Get every file print-ready before it reaches the printer.

Materialise software covers the steps between a CAD model and a successful build: checking and sharing files, repairing meshes, preparing and nesting builds, generating supports and refining designs on the mesh.

Magics 01

Magics · data & build preparation

One platform from imported file to machine-ready build.

Magics is technology-neutral: it combines CAD and mesh tools for data and build preparation across printers and processes.

ImportReads nearly all 3D formats and keeps native colour information.

Fix, edit & enhanceAutomatic mesh fixing, offsets, hollowing and lattice structures.

NestArrange many parts in the build volume, from manual placement to fully automatic nesting.

Generate supportsSupport generation for resin and metal processes through dedicated modules.

Analyse & simulateCheck the build before printing to catch failures early.

Send to the machineBuild Processors translate the prepared build for the target printer, with build reports for traceability.

Connects to

CO-AM: Materialise’s production-management platform
Build Processors: machine-specific output for each printer
Magics SDK: Python scripting to automate repetitive preparation

What it changes

Shorter lead times from file to build
Fewer data errors and higher print success
Less scrap and reprinting
Traceable builds through reports

Magics Essentials 02

Magics Essentials · data preparation

The Magics data-prep tools, without the full build-prep suite.

For occasional and frequent users, design professionals and small to mid-sized studios who mainly need clean, printable files.

Fix WizardGuided, automatic repair of common mesh problems.

ShrinkWrapWraps complex or broken geometry into one watertight part.

Import & convertOpens and converts most modelling formats.

Print-ready for any printerPrepares files regardless of the printer brand.

AutomationTakes repetitive preparation steps off the user.

MiniMagics 03

MiniMagics · free viewer

See the same file your engineer sees.

A free viewer for STL, MAGICS, MGX and 3MF files. Use it to check, measure and sign off parts you send to AMIC for printing or quotation.

ViewRotate, pan and zoom; transparent and cross-section views.

MeasureDistances, circles and angles, plus dimensions, volume, surface area and mesh information.

DiagnoseFlags bad edges, flipped triangles and multiple shells before a build fails.

AnnotateAdd comments and save them in the .magics file to send back.

CompressSave STL files as .mgx, up to 20× smaller for email and upload.

Sign offConfirm printability with your service provider before printing.

Sending a part to AMIC?

Compress it to .mgx in MiniMagics, add your notes, and attach it to a quote request.

e-Stage 04

e-Stage · automatic supports

Supports generated in seconds, not built by hand.

Automated support generation for resin (SLA, DLP) and metal powder-bed (SLM, DMLS, LPBF) printing.

How it works

Lightweight, needle-style supports with minimal contact points
Adjustable gusset parameters for stability where it’s needed
Open support designs that are easier to clean and de-powder
Multi-part stacking to fill the build volume

What it saves

Less support material per build
Better de-powdering and less surface damage on removal
Faster data preparation
Shorter post-processing and finishing

Resine-Stage for Resin (SLA, DLP)

Metale-Stage for Metal+ (SLM, DMLS, LPBF)

Runs inside Magicse-Stage 8.x supports Magics 29.1 and later. The e-Stage licence must use the same licensing method as Magics.
