A great 3D design usually starts with a CAD design, simulation result, or scanned data as input. To benefit from the possibilities that 3D Printing offers, you need a flexible tool to make design modifications or enhancements on the STL level. Whether you want to produce a functional automotive component, a lightweight aerospace component or fascinating shoes, our specialized software helps you optimize your designs with an unprecedented degree of freedom.

Enjoy freedom of design, create a unique or customized object

Control density with e.g. porous structures

Save material, reduce printing time and decrease costs with lightweight designs

Change aerodynamic, acoustic and cushioning properties or increase grip

Avoid labor-intensive finishing steps with the smart use of textures

Benefit from the strong link with simulation packages

Design with Materialise 3-matic

For additional information, please visit objective3d.com.au/materialise-3-matic/

SURFACE TEXTURING With the Texturing Module, you can directly apply textures, perforations and patterns to complex 3D shapes within an STL file. Textures provide extra value to your Additive Manufacturing projects by adding functionality or an aesthetic dimension.

POST-TOPOLOGY OPTIMALIZATION Materialise 3-matic lets you remove rough surfaces caused by topology optimization. This prevents complicated surface descriptions when moving to CAD, as well as more complexity and possible stress concentrations for FEA.

SLICE-BASED TECHNOLOGY Materialise 3-matic is compatible with Materialise Build Processor, which is equipped with our slice-based technology. By generating the desired geometry on slices, the user can skip the demanding triangularization to an intermediate STL file, thereby avoiding large data.

LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURES The Lightweight Module allows you to create 3D printable internal and external structures that add extra strength, provide cushioning, increase porosity, or simply reduce the weight of your design.

“Working with Materialise, Toyota Motor Corporation and Toyota Central R&D Labs Inc. produced a lightweight car seat prototype with a minimal volume and an optimal heat capacity. The manipulation, transfer and build of this very complex and extremely large file (250 GB) could only be achieved with Materialise’s slice-based operations technology. The final result was that Toyota’s car seat volume could be reduced by 72%, which corresponds to a weight reduction from 25kg to 7kg.”

“A great design is strong. Even when 18 kg lighter.”Dr Atsushi Kawamoto, Senior Researcher/Program Manager, Toyota Central R&D Labs.,Inc., Japan.
