Elegant, Easy & Affordable Power
Bringing Crystals to Life
Welcome to CrystalMaker: an award-winning program for building,
displaying and manipulating all kinds of crystal and molecular
structures.
Easy and Flexible
CrystalMaker makes it easy to load structural data and generate
spectacular, photo-realistic images, with the option of breathtaking
"out-of-the-screen" 3D stereo (red/blue glasses included). Models
can be extensively customized, with a wide range of individual atom,
bond and polyhedral styles - including stylized and line-art
representations.

|
CrystalMaker provides real-time rotation and
manipulation, as well as the ability to record QuickTime
movies (Mac version).
|
Fully-Interactive
CrystalMaker includes real-time manipulation and the ability to edit
and design new structures. 99 undo levels plus multiple,
user-defined views, encourage exploration and discovery - ideal for
research and teaching. See our educational supplement for more on CrystalMaker's
amazing potential for teaching science.
A Scientific Tool
CrystalMaker is a full-featured scientific program, supporting the
major database file formats (CIF, PDB, ICSD, FDAT, SHELX, CSSR,
etc.) and with the ability to display massive structures (up to 2
billion atoms). Bonds and polyhedra are automatically calculated,
with the option of bond distance output and error propagation, as
well as direct visualization of cluster shells and coordination
networks.
You can easily visualize crystal surfaces and even place
molecules into an existing structure.

Diffraction patterns can be simulated for any displayed crystal
structure, with a single menu command, using our powder diffraction
(x-ray and neutron) and single-crystal diffaction (electron
microscope, plus reciprocal lattice sections) helper applications
(Mac version, currently).
Available for Windows XP and Mac OS X
CrystalMaker 1 for Windows has been designed exclusively for
Microsoft Windows XP. The application benefits from all the
latest system and interface features, without any legacy code.
CrystalMaker 7 for Mac OS X in a true native OS X application
