Build Crystals & Molecules Fast! With CrystalMaker you can build any kind of crystal or molecular structure - quickly and easily. Built-in symmetry handling and the elegant spacegroup browser takes the slog out of crystallography, and the program will automatically generate all your bonds and polyhedra.

CrystalMaker provides a wide range of model types, including thermal ellipsoids. Each model type can be extensively customized, with the option of photo-realistic simpler, line-art display.

Comprehensive Data Import & Export. Load structural data from over 15+ formats, including Cambridge Structures Database, Protein Data Bank, CIF, GSAS, SHELX... Export structural data, bond distances, coordinates & angles.

Outstanding Graphics. Enjoy photo-realistic graphics with depth fading and perspective - plus spectacular 3D stereo. Benefit from high-resolution printing and save your graphics at user-defined sizes to a wide range of formats.

Real-time Rotation. Click-and-drag with the mouse, use the keyboard, or toolbar. View parallel to a lattice vector or plane normal. Continuous plot range settings for millions of atoms, bonds and polyhedra.

Crystal Libraries
CrystalMaker is shipped with over 600 structures, fully-annotated, ready for immediate display: from organic molecules to zeolites; and from dental ceramics to high-Tc superconductors.

Interactive Measurement. Preview coordination environments, clusters and shells; list bond distances and histograms on screen or save to disc. Measure bond distances, angles, torsion angles on screen. Calculate angles between planes and/or vectors.

Manipulation Tools. Move, detach, duplicate, hide, delete groups of atoms. Hide or repair molecular fragments - isolate individual molecules. Display lattice planes in any orientation; slice the crystal to investigate surfaces or internal planes - and place one structure or molecule inside another.

Multiple Undo. CrystalMaker gives you multiple undo levels for each window - each with its own graphical thumbnail, displayed in "History" pane of the Overview window. You can also bookmark custom Views and organize your favourite files.

CrystalMaker Program Pack
CrystalMaker is shipped in a deluxe program pack with colour-printed setup guide, 3D stereo glasses and a value-packed CD-ROM.

First-Class Support. Using CrystalMaker is easy - but we still provide a a lavishly-illustrated setup guide, a detailed User's Guide in PDF format, for easy searching and of course a cross-referenced online help system.

Last, but not least, we're proud of our first-class technical support, which includes regular incremental software updates, as well as a prompt and personalized response to queries.
