Free stl viewer helps in making your model 3D print ready
MiniMagics can help you in making your model 3D print ready when you have a model in STL format.
A summary of the features of MiniMagics is available at the download site.
But especially 1 feature can allow you to save precious time.
A model has to be ”watertight” before we can 3D print it.
Watertight means that all edges of the triangles of which your model consists of need to have a mutual edge with another triangle.
When the model is not watertight, our i.materialise service might not be showing a price online.
Our server tries to ”fix” the uploaded model and make it watertight automatically but when the gaps between 2 edges of triangles is too big, the fixing process might fill up the hole in a way that it effects the geometry of the model too much. So we limit the fixing within the boundaries that it is safe to fix.
Why don’t we show prices for models that are not watertight ?
Models with bad edges or holes will produce incorrect price parameters and hence inco
The mummy of King Tut in 3D printing
This is something I want to share with you because it fascinates me. Never dreamt I would be able to see the real face of pharaoh Tutankhamun ( King Tut). Hi tech scanning and 3d printing technology (stereolithography) made this possible. See how we brought him to live or read more information here.
Shipping costs for Europe are lowered
Delivery to countries of the European Union has become a lot cheaper. i.materialise swapped from express service delivery to standard delivery. Standard delivery means road transport and thus in some cases 1 or 2 days slower than the express delivery but in favor of your wallet.
I”ve received feedback from the customers that they would prefer to wait a bit longer than to pay for fast delivery.
You will find now that the transport starts from 8 euro instead of the earlier 12 euro. The savings are bigger for the higher transport costs.
