Materialise 3-matic
Premium Data Optimization Software
A great design for Additive Manufacturing often starts with a CAD design, a topology-optimized model, a simulation, or scanned data as input. To take advantage of the possibilities of 3D Printing, you need a versatile tool for making design changes at the network level.
With Materialize 3-matic you can clean up the rough data for simulation or convert your mesh back to CAD. It also allows you to enhance your design by creating 3D textures, lattice structures and harmonious structures ready for Additive Manufacturing. 3-matic also includes script automation to make it easy to create a range of validation samples and increase overall productivity.
Why Materialize 3-matic?
Experience Unprecedented Design Freedom
With our design optimization software, you can completely customize your products and create models that are impossible to produce with traditional production methods.
Save Time and Cost with Lattice Structures
Materialize 3-matic allows you to create stunning mesh designs, resulting in lower material costs and less printing time. These optimized meshes outperform solid material blocks in many ways.

Design Optimization
Materialize 3-matic is a 3D modeling software program that provides mesh-level design optimization and modification using CAD designs, scanned data, and topology-optimized models as a starting point.
Post Topology Optimization
Materialize 3-matic allows you to redesign rough surfaces obtained by topology optimization. This avoids complex free-form modeling work when moving to CAD, as well as more complexity and possible stress concentrations for FEA.
Textures, Patterns and Perforations
With the Texturing Module, you can apply textures, holes, and patterns directly to complex 3D shapes within an STL file. Textures add extra value to your Additive Manufacturing projects by adding functionality or an aesthetic dimension.
Lattice, Conformal and Porous Structures
The Mesh Module allows you to create directly printable internal and external structures that add extra strength, provide cushioning, increase porosity or reduce the weight of your design.
Convert Mesh to CAD
Easily convert your mesh file to a CAD file format with the Materialize 3-matic CAD Link Module. The conversion will recognize the analytical shapes in your part and create a fully parametric file without the need to design it from scratch.
Automate Your Workflow
The Script module allows you to automate and process faster and with more control. It comes with the Python API and provides access to 3-matic objects and properties. The module also has a comprehensive console with auto-completion and a built-in, easy-to-use script editor.
