Why AM?
AM is a growing trend in manufacturing
AM is a worthwhile skill for students, professionals, and companies to adopt. Thanks to its digital nature, AM's automated workflows allow companies to better distribute their workforce, minimizing tedious, manual tasks.
Companies need skilled AM employees
Mastering AM provides your students with unique manufacturing skills. Many companies lack AM knowledge and are looking for employees. Helping your pupils excel in 3D printing is an excellent way to differentiate them in the job market and will advance their professional careers.
Manufacturers know the value of AM
AM's flexibility during production, design freedom, customization, and fast time-to-market are cited most often as qualities companies want to adopt in their own operations. Teach invaluable, sought-after skills that businesses are looking for.
AM's usage is expanding
Many companies are expanding their in-house AM operations. As sustainability becomes top of mind, AM's use cases will continue to grow. Gaining the right AM knowledge now will set your students up for the digital manufacturing revolution of the future.
Why Magics?
Industry-leading
Magics is the most powerful data and build prep software on the market. Provide your students with vital knowledge of how to use our industry-leading AM software in a controlled environment.
Gain advanced control over workflows
Teach advanced processes, such as automating repetitive tasks, and help your students increase print success rates for metal and polymer builds. Prepare them for whatever office or production environment they'll face after graduation.
Technology-neutral
Magics works with various 3D printers and AM equipment to meet your requirements. Take the complexity out of AM and guide your pupils through our powerful software trusted by partners throughout the industry.
Optimize and automate repetitive tasks
Teach students how to reduce lead times, human error, and excessive manual effort with our workflow automation software. Make support generation, nesting, and labeling easier, and use simulation to demonstrate how to improve first-time-right prints.
How do I use Magics as a student?
