Transporting 17.16 tons of combine harvesters with 3D-printed track links? Have you thought about that? But how stable are 3D-printed components really? Our customer, agricultural machinery manufacturer CLAAS, uses a Markforged 3D printer to produce nylon track links with fiberglass reinforcement for transporting combine harvesters weighing around 17 tons. With the patented composite fiber 3D printing, [...]
How do I find the right industrial 3D printer for my applications? Let's be honest... ...the range of 3D printing technologies is constantly expanding. And indeed, most technologies have their place. Nevertheless, it's difficult to keep track of the technological confusion of additive manufacturing. We've created a checklist that [...]
2021 - What a year! We experienced many challenges – the pandemic, a flood disaster, and collapsed supply chains. Solutions inevitably had to be found. We are pleased that we have been able to help many companies with additive manufacturing as a reliable, profitable, and effective manufacturing technology. "If you keep doing what you've always done [...]
Additive Manufacturing Technology Day in Bad Aibling. Numerous participants found their way to us and, alongside Bavarian butter pretzels and coffee, discovered the Markforged 3D printers. In specialist presentations, we presented the technology and practical applications. The Markforged X7 and Mark Two were also in operation. Are you still milling or are you already printing? Highly stable components made from reliable and [...]
Sally's World x Markforged Yesterday, we visited Sally's World in Waghäusel near Karlsruhe with some colleagues. Many people know Sally and her baking videos from YouTube or Instagram. But Sally's World is now much more than that. The newly built Sallycon Valley is a think tank where new projects and products are developed. Here [...]
Formnext Livestream | Markforged Booth | FX20 Presentation 👉 We streamed live from our booth at Formnext! The booth is gigantic. Lots of components and, of course, the FX20. Since many of our contacts couldn't be here at Formnext for various reasons, we brought you along. [...]
Crash test: How stable is a 3D-printed drone frame? With his latest drone frame design, Stefan Obermayr has tested the limits of his 3D-printed frame in a crash test. The frame has a low filler content and is therefore very lightweight, but at the same time, the right places were reinforced with continuous carbon fiber! In our opinion, the results are [...]
What are the daily challenges in machining? On Friday, October 5, 2021, our team visited DSH CNC Fertigungstechnik GmbH. Jonathan Stahl explained in detail all the steps from the initial inquiry to the finished component. What points must be considered when calculating a component? Where are there enormous time and cost drains? What parallels are there between [...]
3D Printing Night in Darmstadt We're looking forward to the 3D Printing Night in Darmstadt! A relaxed evening of discussions about additive manufacturing. Of course, there will be a BBQ and drinks. We'll also be demonstrating all of Markforged's 3D printers live in action, as well as selected practical examples. My colleagues and I will be available [...]
Markforged takes off! New materials for aviation. At Markforged, we listen carefully to our customers, understand their needs, and act accordingly. Our new "flight-worthy" materials are here.
