out of a wide array of RP&M applications.
Materialise has been exhibiting at the Rapid show since its inception in
2000. For the second consecutive year Materialise will also be holding the
Annual Magics User Group the day before Rapid at the same hotel. (The

Rapid and with over 15 years’ experience in software development for the
RP&M industry, Materialise will be showing its latest developments and
innovations to the public.
One of these innovations is e-Stage, Materialise’ fully automated and
revolutionary technology for support generation. e-Stage automates the work
preparation process when supporting SLA parts by eliminating manual editing.
The software also optimizes the build process and significantly cuts
finishing time by generating its unique support structure. With e-Stage,
Materialise takes a major leap forward in realizing its ambition to automate
the entire RP&M process.
Express Pattern, a leading supplier of rapid prototyping and
manufacturing service based in the USA, was part of the beta test of the
software and recently became the first US company to buy e-Stage. “This is a
more robust and faster process than we have been using all along” says David
Flynn, President of Express Pattern.
More than just offering separate products for RP&M professionals,
Materialise wants to offer integrated and total solutions as an answer to
prevailing needs in the industry. As such, Materialise provides the RP&M
industry with free software for fast .STL inspection and compression:
MiniMagics. This tool gives RP&M professionals a means of easy and efficient
communication with sales people, customers and people on the shop floor.
Apart from viewing, measuring and analyzing parts, MiniMagics also allows
users to compress .STL files up to factor 20, add annotations and make
print-outs.
At Rapid 2008 Materialise will also be presenting its innovative Magics
e-RP software for digital RP planning. Magics e-RP streamlines and automates
