For over 30 years we've been pioneering interactive graphics, with advanced tools to "see the forest for the trees", empowering vivid visual understanding of complex structures and their poperties. Our award-winning software is now used by many thousands of scientists, engineers and students - spread across 6 continents and over 60 countries.
From crystal structure to diffraction pattern: our modular software leads the way - and it's fun to use!
Our software suite is modular, delivering the best user interfaces in the industry, whilst still acting as a coherent package with live updates between individual programs. Choose the tools you need for your specific needs:-
|
|
CrystalMaker® Simply the best visualization for crystal and molecular structures. Now with breakthrough energy modelling, lattice dynamics, vibrational spectra, property prediction and crystal shapes. Learn More... |
|
|
CrystalViewer® Interactive galleries of 3D crystal & molecular structures: for teaching and reference (included with CrystalMaker; also available separately as a standalone Classroom licence. Learn More... |
|
|
CrystalDiffract® Fully-interactive powder diffraction software for simulation and analysis of observed data. Now includes integrated Phase ID (no subscription required!) and the world's fastest and easiest Rietveld structure refinement. Learn More... |

|
SingleCrystal® The original interactive single-crystal software, with real-time simulation and auto-indexing of TEM (and other) diffraction techniques. Now includes diffraction in 3D, Brillouin Zones, crystal shapes and Fast Fourier Transforms. Learn More... |
Take advantage of our flexible site licensing so you can share all our software with your colleagues - and students - across your institution. Engage your students with immersive 3D content, encourage them to "learn through play" in their own time - and demonstrate genuine value returned from their tuition fees.
Whereas other programs are designed for small, single molecules — or fixated on old-world crystallography — CrystalMaker is a breath of fresh air! Powerful crystallographic tools, without the pain; an engaging, interactive interface that's simply a better way of working.
CrystalMaker features fast, photo-realistic Retina graphics for an engaging visual experience that includes - for the first time - rotatable, scalable animations: the ideal way to understand structural behaviour, lattice dynamics - or the trajectory of a simulation. For the full 3D experience, try our 3D viewing modes, including 3D stereo in colour: an ideal way of sharing visualization with colleagues and students. Build rotatable models for iPad or Mac, or generate 3D files for printing.
But CrystalMaker goes way beyond mere visualization, with advanced energy-modelling, letting you build new structures, optimize them - and engineer entirely new materials.
CrystalMaker can be extended to simulate x-ray and neutron powder diffraction patterns, using CrystalDiffract. Featuring real-time parameter control, comprehensive Phase ID and the easiest (and fastest) Rietveld structure refinement, CrystalDiffract is the tool all material scientists have been waiting for.
SingleCrystal (Apple Design Award, 2007) lets you simulate x-ray, neutron or TEM diffraction patterns from single crystals - and compare with observed data in the same window. SingleCrystal interfaces with CrystalMaker, so as you rotate a crystal structure in CrystalMaker, its simulated diffraction pattern and stereographic projection rotate in SingleCrystal. SingleCrystal features easy measurement and auto-indexing tools, high-resolution graphics and powerful data output. Runs natively on Apple Silicon as well as older, Intel systems (Universal Binary).
Your time is valuable, so don't waste it with rip-off software. Take advantage of our award-winning original design, intuitive interfaces, integrated workflow, first-class technical support - and regular, free incremental updates.
Genuine Native Software. We are professional software developers, registered with Apple and Microsoft and using their official developer tools to develop real, 100% native software for each platform - including the new Apple Silicon. Our genuine Mac and Windows applications are highly-tuned to deliver the optimum performance and user experience for each platform - and we support the latest operating systems, including macOS 26 "Tahoe" and Windows 11.
We Love Mac. Because we write true Mac software, we're able to offer our Mac users the best-possible performance out of your hardware, combined with the superlative user experience you expect from a properly-written Mac application. Simple things like multi-touch control, Retina graphics, Quick Look thumbnails and previews, QuickTime video, Code Signing for hassle-free downloads and security - they all add up to a great user experience that helps justify your choice of the Mac platform.
If you spend a fair amount of time in front of your computer, you'll appreciate the difference our no-compromise approach makes. And if you've recently bought a new computer, you'll really see the difference!
