Improve the efficiency of jewelry additive manufacturing with Magics
Materialise in collaboration with Imaginarium, exhibits true efficiency of Magics in jewelry design and development
Materialise, DMEC and Kurimoto move additive manufacturing up a gear
From scanning a real gear shift knob to the production of a functional and representative leather effect gear shift knob using additive manufacturing techniques.
Major RP&M Industry Players Recommend Magics
Since Magics is widely praised as state-of-the-art, professional software, it should not come as a surprise that most players in the RP&M industry promote it to some extent. Materialise has signed several distribution contracts and, in some instances, developed software exclusively designed to meet the manufacturer's specific needs.
"Magics support generation, making my nearly impossible job possible"
Robert Zubrickie works for Tyco Electronics and is the chairperson for the 3DS Users Group. In the stereolithography process, the software has enabled him to support his connectors even though they have tiny irregular surfaces.
Magics saves Caterpillar huge amounts of time in building a display engine
It took only five weeks to build the 50% Thermal Efficiency Display Engine for the Diesel Engine Emissions Conference. The build consisted of over 200 individual pieces that had to be constructed, painted, and assembled. The CAD assemblies we received from the engineer were in good shape, but still needed some work to produce better models by means of stereolithography.
Magics RapidFit proves a big help in part assembly at DaimlerChrysler
DaimlerChrysler AG's model manufacturing EP/QFM department uses Magics RapidFit for first visual control of prototypes, for pre-production quality checks and as an aid in part assembly. The following is a case study of their use of Magics RapidFit to facilitate part assembly for a rear axle carrier.
Magics is a tool we cannot live without at RedEye RPM
"If you can't read or fix your customers' files, they will take their business elsewhere", says Tim Thellin, product manager at RedEye RPM. "In our industry, customer satisfaction, quality parts and short deliveries are critical, and Materialise' Magics application helps us meet those demanding requirements".
Magics joins the fight against HIV
The University of Jena have recently used Magics additive manufacturing software to raise awareness of the devastating AIDS virus. With the help of Magics software the University of Jena were able to manufacture an impressive 3D exhibit that highlights the serious threat posed by the HIV virus.
Magics eliminates the flaws in a complex architectural file
Due to their extremely complex geometries, architectural files are often difficult to handle. Using Magics however, cumbersome STL files can be made ready for production on an RP machine easily. IwamotoScott Architecture contacted Materialise to help them with their STL files, since they were extremely large in file size and could not be read by the output machine.
King Tut revealed through an accurate 3D replica
Staab Studios and Materialise collaborate to uncover King Tut. The man beneath the famous gold mask is finally revealed through an accurate 3D replica.
Magics Customer Interview: iJet, Yokohama, Japan
Magics Customer Interview: iJet, Yokohama, Japan Materialise interviewed Mr. Masaru Kumehara, Director of iJet to find out more on the newly formed business and how he uses Magics software in the production of architectural models and figurines.
From 3D design of a part to finished part in just 4 days… that’s rapid manufacturing!
On the 20th of May about 20 companies gathered in Milan, Italy to find out how to make moulds for pre-series in a very short time frame. Designing and producing a tool and its injection moulding series in just 4 days… the participants of the "Rapid Tooling diretto" (Direct Rapid Tooling) seminar discovered that this isn't a fantasy or still in the future. They all witnessed that it's possible to get from a 3D design of a part to the finished part, in the final material, in just a few days.
Fast and accurate MPA analysis on optimised STL models!
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) applications enable designers to detect problems and optimise designs at an early stage. This drives efficiency, cuts costs and results in a competitive advantage. An example: RapidParts, can realise very short lead times, partly because they analyse all parts with Moldflow Part Adviser (MPA) software. By using Magics, RapidParts is now able to take full advantage of MPA analysis.
Dyson packs its parts intelligently
At Dyson we manufacture vacuum cleaners with a strong emphasis on innovation, with the goal of creating increasingly sophisticated machines. With everyone at Dyson constantly coming up with suggestions and concepts,our design team needs to create physical prototypes to help them better evaluate these new ideas. Once we obtain designs from our CAD software, we fix the file in Magics and then use the SmartSpace module to pack the parts on our EOS P700 LS machine.
Prototyped BMW Mini Cooper
Materialise pulled the sheet on a prototyped car that shows the unique solutions its Industrial Services & Software divisions can provide by joining forces. Being active in both the software and the rapid prototyping field gives Materialise the advantage to offer advanced, tailor-made solutions.
Magics “wraps” up project on a high note
Printing a prototype from the corrupted IGES file of the offshore powerboat would not be possible without some extreme repairs. Engineers spent hours trying to make repairs with Solidworks’ limited tools to no avail. Using Magics however, the total repair, Shrinkwrap, and preparation for printing was completed in less than one day. It was clear that Shrinkwrap would be an ideal solution for repairing the boat file. Had it not been for Magics, this prototype would never have been successfully printed.
Magics opens architecture up to new models of manufacturing
Magics’ capabilities save countless hours but also ensure the very highest quality results. The combination of sophisticated analytical, diagnostic and repair features, coupled with the truly magical MGX file format and new 64-bit version, have allowed us to produce projects of unprecedented complexity.
Theater model assembled in time for exhibit: virtual modelmaking within Magics
LGM uses Magics not only for standard file repair and build envelope preparation but also for ‘virtual modelmaking’. We import mesh geometry from a variety of different programs and workflows and perform ‘virtual modelmaking’ tasks within Magics prior to part fabrication.
