Total C S Team Inc. is an authorized distributor of 3-matic Why put it in reverse when you could go forward? Discover forward engineering, where you work directly on scanned data and avoid return-loops to CAD When you want to process or change scanned or meshed data, are you spending too much time and effort on reverse engineering that data back to CAD? Then 3-matic software is exactly what you need! This innovative software eliminates the need for return-loops to the original CAD package because everything is performed at the 'digital' (triangle) level. 3-matic software assists you in preparing product designs quickly for further steps in the development and manufacturing process. 3-matic offers a wide range of tools for changing and optimizing designs. For instance, with 3-matic you can easily manipulate a point cloud that you've obtained by scanning a clay model, transforming it into a file ready for finite element analysis, rapid prototyping or manufacturing. In addition, 3-matic can take a CAD model, developed for the sole purpose of defining the looks of a design, and quickly make it ready for manufacture. 3-matic also clears the way for custom mass production based on individual anatomy (e.g. data obtained via CT or optical scans). |

| Digital CAD: the backbone 3-matic, like all Materialise software, is driven by ground-breaking digital CAD technology. The term "digital CAD" is a deliberate analogy with the world of electronics. Unlike most CAD software, where NURBS representations of surfaces describe the volumes, 3-matic uses a single entity (a triangle) to describe all geometries. Just like in digital electronics, where pulses are used to describe analogue signals, 3-matic works with a discrete representation, which enables easier storage, calculations and automation. 3-matic employs a hybrid modeller with solid modelling capabilities as well as surface modelling functions. Both are based on Materialise's digital CAD kernel. |

| 3-matic for RP Tempering™ | ||||
3-matic is the ideal software for creating tunnels and "V" Grooves™ directly in STL files for use in the RP Tempering™ process. Instead of going back to CAD, RP Engineers can quickly and easily modify STL files to include the geometries necessary for RP Tempering. |

 Tunnels can be created inside walls for the injection of RP Tempering Compound |
 A spiral created around a boss to increase durability for screw threads, press-fits etc. |

A "V" Groove created in an STL file. "V" Grooves take the place of tunnels when geometry is too thin to accomodate tunnels of the required diameter. They are filled with RP Tempring compound then sprayed with Proto-Plasma-Rx™. This gives approximately 80% of the properties of tunneling and filling with RP Tempering compound. A "V" Groove can also be used when a living hinge is required. 3-matic can easily create "V" Grooves in any STL file whether flat or more complex freeform geometry. |
