Magics software enables you to import a wide variety of CAD files ready for rapid prototyping, tooling and manufacturing. Its application include repairing and optimizing 3d models; analyzing parts; making process related design changes on your stl files; designing fixtures; documenting your projects; production planning and more.

"if you are a rapid prototyping supplier; Magics will save you time and money dealing with the plethora of problems associated with importing .stl files from third party 3D CAD software"

Magics is the key element of the Magics e-RP Suite, a full range of market-leading software products that will streamline, automate and boost almost every step in your rapid prototyping and manufacturing process. For more information, please download the brochure.

Fripp Design are authorised resellers of Magics from materialise. But this tells only part of the story, Fripp also provide valuable feedback to Materialise on new features; some of which are incorporated in the new release 12 version of Magics.

Design Consultancy

Design Consultancy is a process that involves seeking technical advice regarding a particular design concept. Design Consultancy is often a complex process and is also something that is secretly kept. This is because product design and design consultancy can involve millions of dollars depending on the potential success of a design. Design Consultancy has to be carried out in a professional manner, and it is common for companies to be very careful about whom they choose for Design Consultancy. There are different kinds of services in the market that provide Design Consultancy for different industries. You need to know which industry your design comes under in order to seek suitable services.

Product Design

Product Design is known as idea generation. It can also be called concept or product development. Product Design is a stage before it is realized as a product. However, there may be a lot more work put in before it is turned into an actual product. This is because there may be a lot more work to do before turning an idea into a complete product that sells. Product Design is based on creativity, and it may be conceptualized by an individual or a group of individuals. Product Design may require technical knowledge as well depending on the complexity involved in a concept.

Rapid Prototyping

Rapid Prototyping involves an automatic construction process to produce physical objects. Rapid Prototyping makes use of solid freeform fabrication. A Rapid Prototyping process makes use of virtual designs that are produced on computer aided design (CAD). These virtual designs are also produced on animation modelling software. These designs are transformed into fine, virtual images that are horizontal cross-sections. The final but step-by-step process of Rapid Prototyping involves creating each cross-sections of these designs in physical space, subsequently. When all cross-sections are produced, the model is said to be complete. There are a variety of applications that make use of Rapid Prototyping because the process is believed to be accurate.

The best technology for Rapid Prototyping is the range of 3D Printers from ZCorporation. The ZCorp 310 The ZCorp 510 and The ZCorp 450 represent the state of the art 3D range of Colour Printers and Monochrome Printers.

Z Corporation develops, manufactures, and markets the world’s fastest 3D printers - machines that produce handheld models quickly, easily, and inexpensively from computer-aided design (“CAD”) and other digital data - and the world's most portable 3D scanners.

Z Corp.’s 3D printers are used by companies to make prototypes ranging from toys for market feedback to fan blades for functional testing. In the same way that conventional desktop printers provide computer users with a paper output of their documents, 3D printers provide 3D CAD users a physical prototype of real world objects such as a mobile phone, an engine manifold, or a camera.

Z Corporation’s straightforward product interface provides users a means to automatically build appearance prototypes from their 3D CAD designs quickly and inexpensively compared to alternative costly and labour-intensive methods. For example, a mobile phone design can be turned from a screen image into a prototype in less than an hour for less than £10. By using appearance prototypes early in the product development cycle, design engineers can receive critical feedback early in the design process. Z Corporation prototypes confirm market acceptance of new designs before the production process even begins, eliminating costly last-minute changes and enabling companies to be the first to market with their products.

The Company, through over 180 distributors, currently sells its products globally into a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, architecture, education, geospatial industries, health care, and entertainment. The Company has shipped more than 3,000 3D printers to customers such as Sony, Fisher-Price, Adidas, Canon, Kodak, Clorox, NASA, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, BMW, Porsche, United Technologies, Ford, Daimler Chrysler, Harvard, MIT and Yale.

Z Corporation stands poised to change the way people design products and communicate, in the same way that low cost ink-jet and laser printers changed the way we use computers. Its technology advantage and proven management make Z Corporation uniquely able to develop the billion-dollar market for 3D printing.
