TLDR: Synera and Materialise have announced a collaboration to directly connect Materialise Magics SDK with Synera’s agentic AI platform. This partnership aims to empower Synera users with Magics SDK access to deploy AI-driven additive manufacturing agents, automating design-to-print tasks, reducing manual effort, and cutting costs. The initial integration will offer capabilities like automated file repair, preparation, support structure generation, and advanced file editing.
Synera, a leading AI agent platform for engineers, and Materialise, a pioneer in additive manufacturing software, have forged a strategic partnership to revolutionize the additive manufacturing (AM) workflow. This collaboration establishes direct connectivity between Materialise Magics SDK and Synera’s innovative agentic AI platform, enabling a new era of automation and efficiency in 3D printing processes.
The core of this partnership lies in empowering Synera users who have access to the Magics SDK to deploy advanced additive manufacturing agents. These AI-driven agents are designed to autonomously handle complex design-to-print tasks, significantly reducing the need for manual intervention and subsequently lowering operational costs while scaling throughput.
According to Gilles Claeys, Materialise Partnership Manager, ‘The connection with Synera allows for a tighter integration between design and build preparation workflows, providing designers with immediate feedback on manufacturability and build optimization directly within one environment.’ This integration is further enhanced by a new Materialise Magics add-in that brings advanced mesh inspection and repair capabilities directly into Synera, effectively closing a critical gap in achieving full end-to-end automation of AM build processes.
Synera’s platform is renowned for its ability to enable companies to create and deploy collaborative AI agents that function as virtual engineering experts. These agents supplement human teams and autonomously address various product development tasks. The platform’s intuitive visual editor allows engineers to automate processes at multiple levels of complexity, from simple tasks to intricate AM end-to-end workflows, thanks to its robust multi-agent systems that seamlessly integrate with tools like Materialise’s Magics SDK.
The initial Materialise Magics SDK connector for Synera will deliver a comprehensive suite of capabilities. These include automated file repair and preparation directly from Synera, efficient support structure generation and customization, and advanced file editing and modification. These tools are crucial for AM engineers to prepare even the most complex models for printing, thereby reducing failed builds and enhancing overall part quality.
