Materialise e-Stage for Metal 3D Printing Software
Magics Support Generation Module
To succeed in metal 3D printing, you must ensure your operations are economically viable. That means keeping costs low, part quality and consistency high, and getting prints right the first time. With e-Stage for Metal+, you can fully automate support generation to achieve these goals during every stage — from data preparation to post-processing.
Streamline data preparation
Reduce your time spent on support design by up to 90% while minimizing human error and build crash risk. e-Stage for Metal+ automates support generation to ensure proper stabilization and prevent deformations in your build.
Reduce time spent removing supports
With easy-to-remove, needle-thin contact points and a flexible grid structure, you'll remove almost 100% of the excess powder from the support structure and lower risks related to your operators’ health and security (HSE).
Simplify post-processing
Generate only the support structures you truly need to significantly reduce post-processing time compared to traditional support generation techniques.
Minimal structures, maximum support
You can ensure a successful build without adding tons of extra support. e-Stage for Metal+ determines exactly where support is needed so you print first time right without wasting material or time removing unnecessary structures.
Materialise e-Stage for Metal 3D Printing Software Key Features
- Automatically generate support and place cones to significantly reduce dross formation, mitigate excessive stress, and minimize any possible deformation.
- Transform post-processing with fine structures you can easily remove, reducing the need for additional processes like EDM and machining. Larger builds can even save up to 40% of material compared to block supports while enhancing part accuracy and quality.
- Get a fresh perspective on your metal laser powder bed fusion process with time-tested practical knowledge and intelligent physics-based modeling. You won't have to compromise on part quality or your budget to find success.
- To make ultimate use of your build volume, stack parts in the z-direction with e-Stage, allowing your machine to run longer in non-productive hours.
