To do so, it works on triangulated (STL) files. For this reason, it is extremely suitable for organie/freeform 3D data, like the anatomical data coming from the segmentation of medical images (from Materialise Mimics). We call it Anatomical CAD. Import your anatomical data in Materialise 3-matic to start doing real Engineering on Anatomy, Ike thorough 3D measurements and analyses, design an implant or surgical guide within a research context, ‘or prepare the mesh for finite element modeling. Using powerful tools, 3-matic also allows users to perform topology optimization clean up, design and combine different types of lattice structures, create 3D textures and much more. In a combination with Materialise build processors, 3+matic gives a possibility to slice even very complex lattice structures by consuming much less amount of memory. Since Materialise 3-matic can import CAD data, but also do reverse engineering of anatomical to CAD data, itis perfectly complementary to your CAD package. NOTICE ON INTENDED USE: Materialise 3-matic is not a medical device. All datasets used in this tutorial are stored in C:\Program Files\Materialise\3-matic 15.0 (x64)\DemoFiles or in a similar location, depending on the selected destination folder during installation. From version 10.0 on, Materialise 3-matic remembers for you. This means that when opening an ‘operation page, previously remembered parameter values are available for further use. The below exercises sometimes refer to the default parameter settings. In order to use these default parameter settings, the functionality Options > Reset Current Operation Defaults can be used. © 2020 Materialise N.V. All rights reserved.

This includes the import & export of different point cloud formats. Furthermore a range of tools is available to modify point clouds by marking, sub sampling, noise reduction, spliting... to improve the quality of the point cloud, Special tools are available for registration of multiple point clouds or STLs and to glue different (overlapping) meshes, originating from diferent point clouds, into one solid mesh, Task 1: Point cloud meshing 1, Goto File > Import Part > DemoFiles > Cushion_Panel.asc.
