Materialise Magics hardware and system requirements
The exact Materialise Magics release and licensed modules need a supplier-confirmed workstation specification.
| Component | Minimum or required check | Recommendation or preparation |
|---|---|---|
| Operating system / CPU | Confirm supported OS build and CPU architecture | Request the release-specific workstation table |
| RAM / GPU | No current numeric minimum verified in this guide | Confirm memory, VRAM and graphics API for the intended workflow |
| Storage | Installer size is separate from project capacity | Allow room for case files, exports and a tested backup |
| Connected equipment | Review input formats, printer technology, material strategy and the required Build Processor. | Confirm model, drivers and licensed interfaces before installation |
Do not buy a workstation from a generic CAD/CAM specification alone. Older manuals or another product in the same family may not apply to this edition.
Manufacturer requirements can change. Minimum specifications are not a performance guarantee for large cases, multiple applications or connected equipment. SSD storage and a tested backup are our preparation advice unless stated in the manufacturer guidance.
