The introduction of 3D printing to the manufacturing landscape was revolutionary. When it first appeared on the scene, its applications were limited. The technology was restricted by the hardware, skilled workers, size, speed, cost of production, in addition to other factors. However, it was easy for many to see how the technology had the potential to change the game in the same way that other advancements, like automation, changed the manufacturing industry. While tackling the initial obstacles was key, once 3D printing became more common, it was time to tackle other issues impacting its more widespread adoption and use. In […]

The 3D printing world was, for some time, marked by its use of thermoplastics for parts production. While thermoplastics have material characteristics that made them valuable in their own right, for the technology to really grow and expand it was clear to many that, in addition to the development of new printer technology, materials would also need to be explored. That’s where Markforged’s innovations came in. The introduction of Onyx and continuous carbon fiber changed the way many industries viewed additive manufacturing.   What is Markforged? Markforged is a 3D printer platform company that designs and develops the hardware, software, […]

Once it became clear that 3D printing was going to change the face of manufacturing, a race was on to develop the most reliable and versatile printers to a market clamoring for cost-effective ways to harness the tech. In addition to developing revolutionary materials to help produce stronger and more durable 3D printed parts, Markforged has secured its place in the market with printers that offer durability while also delivering high-quality precision parts. In addition to offering industrial, benchtop, and desktop printers, Markforged delivers printers designed by engineers to allow engineers to create the parts they need with materials that […]

In an industry that heralds innovations and new products as groundbreaking and revolutionary, it becomes hard to discern what products, services, materials, and applications really fit that bill. However, one thing has remained constant in the 3D printing industry and that’s the ability for Markforged to continually introduce new and improved processes that elevate not just their products, but additive manufacturing in general.   What is 3D Printing? 3D printing enables the creation of a physical 3D structure or object from a digital model created with computer-aided design (CAD). Through additive manufacturing, 3D printing, in most forms, lays down layer […]
