MATERIALISE.MGX MAGICS

Materialise combines art and technology by using its high-tech background to The Materialise design software guides designers through their product development produce this series of exceptional lampshades. Our exclusive lamps manufacturer are created process. The CAD file of the design should first be transformed into an STL-file through prototyping techniques - stereolithography and selective laser sintering to make the use of rapid prototyping techniques accessible. Magics, our indoor - that offer almost unlimited freedom of design. Our aim is to unleash a new era of developed software, turns the original file into an STL-file and offers a whole range mass customised design based on this technology. of functions to correct any mistakes that may be created during the conversion. To assist with the preparation of files for the rapid prototyping process, Magics uses Our 15 years experience with rapid prototyping technology and software enables us very advanced and automated functions. Magics is an indispensable software tool to meet the customer's wildest dreams for mass-customised consumer products. that helps to achieve high-quality rapid prototyping objects. With today's high-performance computed 3D systems and the increasing usage You might be wondering why Materialise products are named with the *.mgx of unlimited e-communication we can undoubtedly fulfil our end user's design and extension? *.mgx is the file extension for Magics software. Each product produced manufacture requirements. by Materialise is represented by an *.mgx file which is added to the product on a CD Rom. One can reproduce a design by sending the product’s *.mgx file to For those unfamiliar with rapid prototyping technologies, it is easy to depict this Materialise. Perhaps it will not be in the far future when data will be used to replace technology by comparing it with familiar inkjet printing. Instead of building up a 3D objects. For example, it might be possible to download products from the web text, this technology actually constructs a 3D object by adding one slice on top of in the same manner as mp3s are being downloaded today. another in a vessel of liquid polymer (for stereolithography) or powder (for selective laser sintering) that hardens when struck by a laser modern beam.
