The stl editor to repair the stl files is much better than other softwares in the market. It also has added texture design tool to design textures for industrial needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface is slightly complex for some one who is not familiar with the tool. But once your learn it gets better. I had challenges initially but later things became easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main benefit of Magics is that it is extremely powerful software - for fixing and manipulating files, creating supports, creating build files to send to printers, serializing, honeycomb, the list goes on and on. The interface is pretty intuitive, help is actually helpful, and support is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a bit pricey, and adding modules to add functionality costs even more. Sometimes it bogs down on really large files, leading occasionally to crashes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has lot of great features like using supports for 3d printing parts. File repair features. Texturing tool is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hard to learn. For a new user, it takes a lot of time to learn. I watched videos to learn new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customized feature to repair the part file and also the ability to design supports is great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The files sometimes become huge and takes up a lot of space Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like its User-friendly GUI, existing advanced tools for 3D Printing file preparation. there are many tools CAD tools are available such as Hollowing, Cutting punching, the surface to solid, labeling(emboss/deboss text), shrinkwrap, rescaling etc. which you will not get in open-source software. or most important we can also build a support structure according to our requirements, we can define a lattice structure to reduce the material requirement.

Shrinkwrap tool and resampling tools are very interesting which helps in making the model robust and highest quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like its supported export formats. we can not export our files to DAE, FBX, 3DS, 3DM, PRJ, and if we want to export files to .iges, CATIA, Solidworks, .step, pro/engineer, Revit then we have to purchase other modules. we can not register two different datasets in this module.

Their charges for the training session which I don't like. and MIMICS pricing is also high as compared to other proprietary software.

Mesh quality tools should be customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The auto fix function is very quick and it provides fast repairing of any files and objects. The place viewing is a fantastic option and is helpful in visualization and repairing of the data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Export in 3D pdf function is not adequate and the color of interfaces is not that user friendly. The software requires much of the RAM and hence the laptop is heated up during operations. the overapplying triangles and other discrepancies are not corrected and have to be done manually which is time consuming.
