About .MGX

Russula.MGX by Arik Levy

Working with revolutionary 3D printing technologies and some of the top designers from around the world, .MGX has created a collection of exceptional lighting objects, furniture, interior goods and jewelry accessories.

Through the specific technologies of stereolithography and selective laser sintering, liquid or powder polymer is transformed into a solid state via laser beam, allowing for .MGX objects to be brought to life primarily as single pieces, without joints or seams, and with the most astounding degree of detail. In most cases, .MGX creations would be impossible to produce using other manufacturing methods.

The .MGX line of design products is currently exported to over 20 countries worldwide; has received many awards, including two Red Dot Design Awards; is featured in numerous international museums, including the MoMA in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris; and regularly appears in top design and decor publications such as: Icon, Surface Magazine, Elle Decor and Vogue Living.

.MGX Brand Philosophy & Magics

Gyroid.MGX by Bathsheba Grossman

 .MGX’s brand philosophy is about dynamic and transformative experiences. First for designers, with the opportunity to materialise whatever they dare to dream. And also for our customers, with lamps and design objects that through their unique forms and dimensions go beyond mere functionality. Our lamps are about more than just brightening a room; they are about the dance of shadow and light, of creating a magical reality.

 

The name .MGX comes from the file extension of the Materialise software, Magics. This software makes rapid prototyping and 3D manufacturing techniques accessible to design professionals, enabling them to bring to life creations that would otherwise be impossible to produce.


The process begins when a CAD design file is converted into an STL-file and then transformed via Magics into an .MGX file that renders a design printable. With the Magics production software developed by Materialise and thanks to 3D printing technologies, 3D visual images are then “printed” as sustainable 3D material structures.
