Additive manufacturing for the education & research sector
The 3D printer in the classroom or lecture hall
With Mark3D's 3D printing solutions, students can produce prototypes to test and optimize their designs.
Markforged's metal and composite 3D printing solutions offer students hands-on learning with tools used by professional engineers every day, as well as the problem-solving and collaboration skills needed to succeed. 3D printing can also enable new discoveries for research and labs.
Participants can significantly improve their career prospects by gaining their first experience with 3D printing. For us as a partner, it is always exciting to see what the pupils and students produce from the circumstances.
Bridging the skills gap
With the faster integration of 3D printing into the workplace, companies are increasingly facing challenges when it comes to closing the gap in additive manufacturing.
3D printing offers extensive opportunities to improve skills in science, technology, engineering, art and math, as well as design. To present students with practical challenges, they are presented with a hands-on approach to problem solving.
With Markforged's 3D printing solutions and Mark3D as your education partner, students will develop real-world skills, supported by resources that inspire and support you to keep you going.
Improve learning
Markforged 3D printers can already be found in almost all areas of the education industry:
- Research institutes
- Universities and colleges
- Technical schools
- Grammar schools
- Elementary school
Colleges and universities
What does it take to attract the best students and employees to your university? State-of-the-art technologies and equipment are definitely an important step in the right direction. With Markforged 3D printers, students can gain important academic experience, create cross-departmental collaboration and even encourage entrepreneurial thinking among students. Markforged solutions generate real excitement and problem-solving skills that can energize an entire campus.
Technical schools
Experts predict that over the next decade, a skills shortage in manufacturing could result in over 2 million jobs. Around the world, manufacturers are relying on technical schools to develop programs that attract and retain talented students and prepare them to work in advanced technology fields.
Additive manufacturing is already widespread
Nothing conveys an idea better than holding it in your hand. Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is an effective way to enrich learning in a practical way. Numerous industrial companies and smaller SMEs are already producing prototypes and small series with 3D printers.
Pupils and students gain a real advantage in the highly competitive job market by working with professional 3D printers for the first time.
Advantages of additive manufacturing with Markforged
Focus on learning
Print quickly and cost-effectively
Many Markforged 3D printers feature Turbo Print Mode to create design concepts quickly and economically. Now you can print twice as fast as in standard mode, while using on average only a third of the material - and without any loss of surface quality or loss of resolution.
Choose Onyx for printing. Onyx is an engineering thermoplastic that delivers stiff, strong and precise components. On its own, the material is already 1.4 times stiffer than ABS and can also be reinforced with any continuous fiber. Onyx sets the bar very high in terms of surface quality, chemical resistance and heat tolerance.
For educators, research and laboratories
Markforged 3D printers are simple and intuitive to use. We can provide you with a 3D printer that supports almost any requirement of your curriculum. Markforged 3D printers can be used directly in the classroom or lecture hall.
Your advantages:
- Special prices for use in classrooms, research labs, fab labs and non-profit organizations
- Access to free online resources from Markforged Additive Manufacturing University, such as design guides, tips and tricks, videos and more.
- First sponsorship opportunities for robotics and SAE
(Almost) unlimited possibilities
The Markforged 3D printers offer a range of different options. By using different composite materials such as glass fiber, carbon fiber, Kevlar, HSHT glass fiber, the components can be produced with different strengths.
The almost unlimited possibilities of producing components stimulate the creativity of pupils and students and also encourage problem solving. The versatility of Markforged 3D printers easily adapts to the many different class and student requirements.
The EIGER software
With Markforged 3D printers, the print jobs are controlled via the EIGER software. However, data can be imported from almost all types of 3D CAD software.
As an official partner of the COFFEE GmbH we have a close ally in the area of Solidworks and design. Coffee GmbH has been a SOLIDWORKS partner for over 21 years and supports thousands of commercial customers as well as a large number of customers in the education sector.
