Introduction to CrystalMaker

A real-time interactive crystallography
program for Macintosh computers.


CrystalMaker is a program for generating, displaying, and manipulating all kinds of crystal and molecular structures, in stunning photo-realistic colour. CrystalMaker is a very powerful crystallographic tool - but is designed to be used by everyone, not just professional crystallographers!

CrystalMaker lets you visualise complex structures using many different model types. CrystalMaker will automatically find and generate polyhedra - based on your choice of bonds. You can easily rotate the model, zoom in or out, apply perspective and depth-fading to emphasise the 3D view. You can also carve out chunks of the structure, measure bond lengths and angles on-screen, and perform interactive bond searches. (And if you also have our free CrystalDiffract software, you can generate diffraction patterns from your CrystalMaker files.)

If you wish to understand crystal & molecular structures in an intuitive and elegant way, then CrystalMaker is for you!
