Gain control of your software releases
Build at your own speed with the Customer Make program. Give your developers advanced tools and extensive documentation to support customer demand based on their application needs.
Connect CAM software
Streamline data and build preparation with Magics 3D Print Suite and generate job files using build processors designed for your 3D printers. Simplify complex processes and ensure that preparing job files for production becomes effortless for customers.
Accelerate your time-to-market
Leverage the standard NxG BPs designed for different 3D printing technologies, and let us configure these BPs for you with our Materialise Make program. Launch your 3D printers quicker for your go-to-market strategy.
Unlock AM applications
Support customers in achieving their goals by helping them develop complex features like thin walls and processing large implicit files. Overcome challenging obstacles, reduce scrap rates, and print first time right by using our expertise in AM and advanced BP software.
Solutions to enable your competitive edge
NxG BP
Leverage off-the-shelf build processor algorithms designed for toolpath-based technologies (such as LPBF, SLA, SLS, and EBM) and image-based technologies (such as DLP, BJ, and MJ). Plus, easily customize these algorithms by adjusting and integrating them with your IP.
BP SDK
Push the limits of your AM technologies by leveraging proven AM build file generation algorithms to build custom BPs with the BP SDK. It allows you to offer proven technologies as a starting point for your team or enables customers to optimize their 3D printer even further.
AM workflow integration
Our NxG BPs empower you to scale your build processor development with customizable BPs that can be built at speed, enabling shorter and cheaper software development cycles. Furthermore, they work with Magics and within the Materialise CO-AM Software Platform to provide you and your customers with a complete AM software ecosystem. Alternatively, NxG BPs also operate independently to support your AM workflow as you see fit.
Capabilities of the NxG BP
