Welcome to CrystalMaker Software: creators of elegant, powerful software for crystalline and molecular materials. Our focus is in using interactive graphics to empower users with a vivid visual understanding of structure and properties: to "see the wood for the trees". Our award-winning software is now used by thousands of scientists, engineers and students - spread across 6 continents and over 60 countries.

Modular Software for Teaching & Research

Instead of building a gargantuan - and expensive - "Jack-of-all-trades" program, we've focused on producing the best, Master tools, for different areas:

• CrystalViewer - interactive galleries of 3D crystal & molecular structures: for teaching and reference

• CrystalMaker - energy modelling for crystal/molecular structures

• CrystalDiffract - powder diffraction software including Phase ID & Rietveld refinement

• SingleCrystal - single-crystal diffraction software including auto indexing and 3D crystal morphologies

You choose which product(s) and which platform(s) you need. Even better, take advantage of our flexible site licensing so you can share all our software with your colleagues and undergraduate students across your institution. Engage your students with immersive 3D content, challenge them to "learn through play" in their own time - and demonstrate genuine "value returned" for their tuition fees.

Breathing Life into Dusty Crystallography

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.

Interactive Diffraction Software

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).
