Software
Accelerate SLA printing with SmartBuild – powered by Materialise and more.
Software built for production SLA
Our software is designed to help you get parts off the printer faster, with better surfaces and less manual finishing. It supports the full workflow – from preparing CAD data to optimising the print and running the machine reliably in production.
What you get
- Shorter print cycles and higher throughput
- Better surface finish straight off the machine
- Fewer failed builds and more repeatable results
- Works across your installed base, including older machines
SmartBuild™
SmartBuild is the build processor that turns your prepared job into optimised machine instructions.
Are long build times, rough surfaces, and labour-intensive post-processing slowing you down when producing series parts or high-mix, low-volume production? SmartBuild™, developed collaboratively by Materialise and Raplas, addresses these challenges head-on. Driven by our Next Gen Build Processor, it features dynamic recoating and adaptive build strategies that optimise every part for faster production, superior surface quality, and minimal rework – unlocking true series manufacturing potential.
Why SmartBuild™?
- Boost productivity by over 50%
- Achieve near-polished surfaces directly from the printer, reducing or eliminating post-processing
- Apply tailored build strategies to each part within a single job
- Compatible with our entire product range, including machines up to 10 years old
- Designed to integrate easily so existing equipment remains at the forefront of technology
Dynamic recoating
Adaptive recoating behaviour that supports faster cycles while maintaining stability for demanding geometries.
Part-specific strategies
Apply tailored build strategies to each part in the same job for consistent quality across mixed builds.
Less rework
Superior surface quality direct from the printer helps reduce or eliminate labour-intensive post-processing.
Materialise Magics
Materialise Magics is an industry-leading data preparation and STL editing software for Additive Manufacturing. Convert files to STL, repair errors, edit designs, and prepare your build platform. The latest versions bundled with Raplas machines focus on speeding up features and processes to help you save time and energy.
Key capabilities
- Import nearly all file formats and retain native colour information
- Repair, edit, and enhance with automatic fixing, offsets, and lattice structures
- Slicing and orientation tools to communicate build intent clearly
- Automatic reports for traceability and repeatability
- Advanced nesting for speed and control
- Automated support generation to reduce manual effort
- Build analysis features to detect potential issues and avoid failures
Import data
Bring in nearly any CAD and mesh format while keeping control of your original data.
Repair and enhance
Prepare printable, high-quality parts with repair tools, offsets, and advanced structure workflows.
Nest and analyse
Accelerate nesting and reduce failed builds with analysis that flags potential issues early.
Materialise tutorials
Training resources to help your team get the most from Materialise tools – from preparation and repair through to nesting and build optimisation.
Integra+
Integra+ is the processing environment developed over many years as a stable control platform that talks to machine hardware and integrates with external third-party platforms and hardware. It provides a programmable bridge between differing systems, enabling seamless control of processes in complex environments.
