Manufacturing redefined

Additive manufacturing is not only useful as a production method for end-use parts, but also as a complement to other production processes in mechanical manufacturing. Industrial 3D printers produce high-strength parts that are robust enough to withstand the manufacturing environment where printed parts are used as tools and fixtures. The applications on this page demonstrate how Markforged users have reduced costs and optimized production availability in their everyday production operations.

From custom soft jaws for difficult machining to alignment fixtures for welding, an industrial 3D printer can improve many of the behind-the-scenes tasks associated with manufacturing and production. Complement your manufacturing with a Markforged 3D printer and experience shorter lead times, increased machine bandwidth, and lower manufacturing costs.

We're working with Markforged on a mission to unlock the next innovation in design and manufacturing. We've developed an industrial 3D printing platform to free designers and engineers from decades-old, slow processes. Volkswagen, Google, Siemens, Amazon, General Electric, and thousands of companies across 50 countries use Markforged to print same-day prototypes and produce stronger end-use parts than ever before. With Markforged, you can ship 50x faster, spend 20x less, and build 23x stronger products.
