of the AM or 3D printing workflow.
Equipped with a customisable, intuitive user interface,
Materialise Magics offers smart, versatile data preparation that

exceptional consultancy and support, customers will benefit from
the ability to:

formats and native colour information to stay in control of the
original data
- Repair and prepare files, as
well as correct problems and create watertight data and shortcuts
to improve the 3D printing workflow
- Enhance and edit data to take
designs to the next level by adding logos, serial numbers and
hollow parts, as well as applying textures, and creating lattice
structures
- Prepare the build platform,
duplicating parts and orient them correctly
- Print better parts, view slices,
detect collisions, save platforms and generate useful reports
Chris Blake, Sales & Marketing Director, 3D Printing at
Canon Europe says: “The creative and commercial opportunities for
3D Printing are vast and the market continues to evolve and expand.
As such, we are always looking for ways to enhance our existing
