What is the difference between short carbon fiber and continuous carbon fiber? The term "3D printing with carbon fiber" is becoming increasingly popular. That's why we've summarized the most important facts for you in a guide. ✅ What are carbon fibers? ✅ What are the key aspects of 3D printing with carbon? ✅ Are all carbon fibers the same? ✅ What is the [...]
The 10xDNA in manufacturing – still the future or already the present? In his latest book, Frank Thelen writes about the 10xDNA. The age of exponential progress brings incredible opportunities. That's why we at Mark3D have made it our vision to redefine manufacturing. Sounds impossible? It's already [...]
Arguably the best 3D-printed racing drone in the world. 3D designer Stefan Obermayr has designed a racing drone frame – specifically optimized for the Markforged series – that is both extremely lightweight and aerodynamic, yet virtually indestructible. He has incorporated his decades of experience in model making and 3D design to create the perfect racing frame.
3D printing meets electric aviation - VOCUS "We were able to significantly accelerate our research projects in the field of new electromobility with the hybrid powertrain. We more than halved the time required for iteration loops in partial development, for example, for the battery holders, and thus drastically reduced costs. No expensive tools had to be manufactured, and this enabled [...]
3D-printed plastic tools machine metals. Sounds crazy? Together with Gühring KG, we embarked on this groundbreaking project. We'll show you whether it worked and what else we tested in a detailed video report! Watch the detailed report + video now [...]
NASA JPL relies on Markforged 3D printers. "The quality of the printers, the reliability and reproducibility of the parts, and the fact that the Digital Forge produces beautiful, functional parts that require no post-processing makes Markforged an ideal additive manufacturing technology." NASA JPL's CoSTAR team is the leading institute for robotic exploration [...]
Hobby vs. Professional 3D Printing When 3D printing emerged, the imagination of users clashed with that of manufacturers and its real potential. Expectations haven't evolved much, while technology has accelerated to meet in the middle. Today, there are €1,000 printers that can compete with the €50,000 printers of a decade ago.
What does it cost your company if you don't invest in additive manufacturing? Many companies don't see any potential applications for 3D printing in their production. 3D printers are used at most in prototyping or R&D, but usually not beyond that. Yet, it's the daily operating resources in production that can save costs [...]
3D Printing in Education: Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences Julia Kessler, teaching professor at Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences, answered a few questions in a written interview about how the Mark Two is used at the university, what they have already tested, and what added value the Mark Two brings them. Mark3D: How do you use additive [...]
Automatic Component Positioning Since February 2020, Eiger has been helping with the creation of builds. Previously, each component was placed in the center of the print bed. This meant that each component had to be manually moved to the correct position. Now, this happens automatically. So if I want to print nine bottle openers, all I have to do is click on the field [...]
