Export Magics platform • Send Directly to the Machine • Create Export Reports • Collision Detection
o Detects colliding parts • Possible to set a clearance • No-Build-zones taken into account • Detects “out of bound” parts
o Automatic during export

Slice-based
operations • Postpone the
calculation of the full structure to the slicing step of the build processor
Sinter-module
• Reduce powder
• Optimize builds
SG
• Support Generation
• Reduce data preparation, build and finishing time
Tree Supports
• Generate tree support for any part
SG+
• Support Generation for Metal Applications
Structures
• Reduce weight and materials
• Lower powder consumption
Import
• Import nearly all standard CAD formats
Ensure that your design is 3D printable
