: Maximizes build envelope utilization by nesting parts in three dimensions.
Materialise Magics is a pre-processing and STL/mesh-editing software used to prepare 3D data for additive manufacturing. Version 18.0.3.16 x64 is a legacy release (Magics 18 series) providing core capabilities for importing, repairing, editing, orienting, nesting, and generating build files for many industrial 3D printers. It targets production-oriented users who need robust mesh repair, slicing interfaces to some machine toolchains, support generation (via Magics Support or integrated modules), and part optimization workflows.
For service bureaus, maximizing platform density is money. Magics 18.0.3.16 features a "Packing" algorithm that automatically rotates and nests multiple parts to reduce build height and increase throughput.
To run this version smoothly on a 64-bit Windows system, the following hardware is typically recommended: materialise magics 18.0.3.16 x64

Efficiently placing parts in 3D space to maximize build volume (crucial for SLS and SLM).
Support structures are critical for technologies like Stereolithography (SLA) and Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS). Magics 18 provides:
Magics allows you to modify geometries directly within the software rather than returning to external CAD tools. Boolean Operations Version 18
Before sending any file to a 3D printer, it must be "watertight." Magics provides automated and manual tools in the Fix ribbon to ensure flawless prints.
Here is a high-level overview of a typical workflow in Magics 18.0.3.16, from start to finish.
Position parts on your specific machine build plate. Utilize the nesting algorithm to maintain a safe distance between parts while utilizing the maximum Z-height or XY footprint. Step 5: Support Creation
