Materialise has just released their latest offering of their Magics software with Magics²⁰ , meant to improve upon communications between significant user applications and 3D printing. With a new user interface and supports of all current file formats, to include voxels and .3MF, Materialise customers can look forward to more efficient 3D printing, and especially in the contest of metal. Showing off Magics²⁰ at the formnext show going on this week in Frankfurt, they are also offering numerous demonstrations, as well as announcing that their certified Factory for 3D Printing is now manufacturing end-use plastic parts for the Airbus’s A350 XWB.

The architects of yesteryear spent numerous hours drafting designs and making models (maquettes) of planned constructions. However, with new technology, some of yesterday's time-consuming architecture headaches can be eliminated. Take for example the issue of 3D printing a CAD file. This was not such an easy task before Materialise's Magics²⁰ ShrinkWrap function emerged. Now, 3D printing companies, like Netherlands-based cad2reality, can 3D print CAD files without all of the errors and loss in color and texture. As the owner of cad2reality states, this software function is becoming a "must-have for architectural files." Read more at 3DPrint.com: http://3dprint.com/108158/architectu...gics-software/
