Materialise Magics
Software Development Kit
Automate repetitive data and build preparation tasks
Minimize time and effort spent on time-consuming, manual tasks during data and build preparation. With the AM Workflow Scripting module, you can leverage the Magics software development kit (SDK) to create Python scripts that automate your additive manufacturing (AM) workflows.
Maximize your 3D printing bottom line
Save time and reduce human error
Eliminate repetitive, labor-intensive data and build preparation tasks through automation. Overcome the need to hire AM experts for high-quality production.
Ensure quality and repeatability
Set up automation within your 3D printing production that ensures consistent data and build preparation, resulting in standardized quality and manufacturing repeatability.
Improve the ROI of your 3D printers
Optimize builds to compensate for any limitations your 3D printers may have. This enhanced effectiveness could reduce scrap rates and maximize machine utilization.
Allow your team to focus on more strategic work
Rather than getting overloaded by labor-intensive processes, they can scale with automation and apply their specialized skills to tasks that drive innovation and growth.
Automate with Magics’ scripting capabilities
Customizable part screening
Generate a CSV report of all geometries to prioritize parts that are relevant for AM. Create it based on factors like surface area, volume, wall thickness, or other metrics pulled from the Magics SDK.
Data and build prep
Develop smarter algorithms and scripts to determine the optimal orientation, apply support tags, and auto-generate supports based on key features.
Physical and virtual labeling
Automatically assign unique physical or digital serial numbers to maximize build capacity and facilitate sorting after printing.
Optimized 3D printer performance
Overcome your 3D printers’ limitations with data and build preparation techniques, such as removing non-uniform shrinkage for selective laser sintering.
