Sources include: and  and. Since Mimics has its own page on Wikipedia, it makes little sense that 3-matic, a linked software program, doesn't have any. I am however not very proficient yet as a wikipedia editor/author, this is the first page I have created. Please let me know how I can make it better. What content do you feel missing for example? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.251.79.195 (talk) 09:56, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Incredibly hard to find references, although there is one independent magazine source that provided a review/recommendation. Industry-specific software like this is hard to source, but this article was clearly created with promotional intent. It's otherwise unknown and its importance is not substantiated by third-party sources. Jergling (talk) 20:12, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Agree with Jergling on all his points.  I couldn't find any secondary sources on this product and the author didn't provide any.  It reads like a product flyer. Rogermx (talk) 22:08, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails notability criteria. -- HighKing ++ 12:42, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: Mimics is part of the same software suite, thanks for the tip from the SPIP. That article has academic refs which use Mimics as an industry standard baseline. The same journal has also hosted articles which indicate that 3-Matic is used in the industry . Specialist use does not mean notability, nor does it require an article for each piece of a software suite, but we should probably bring these sources and mentions back into the main Materialise NV article.
