YouTuber 3D-Druck ANDI shows whether 3D-printed plastics are really stronger than metal! YouTuber Andreas Weiß (3D-Druck ANDI) visited our Mark3D Technology Center to learn more about Markforged 3D printers and the ingenious continuous fiber technology. Markforged has developed a very special technology that allows you to print plastic components that [...]
Markforged Launches Onyx ESD for the Electronics Industry. The new, high-strength 3D printing material enables electronics manufacturers to improve their business responsiveness by producing high-quality, ESD-safe parts on demand. WATERTOWN, MA - DECEMBER 8, 2020 - Markforged, developer of the world's largest industrial metal and carbon fiber 3D printing platform, the "Digital Forge," today announced [...]
Learn how students at Oklahoma State University and Purdue University are using 3D printers. We often feature on the various tools, fixtures, and production parts that so many companies around the world are creating using Markforged technology. But it's not just companies that are benefiting from additive manufacturing. Universities are starting to encourage students [...]
With the "Global EY Report 2019 on Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing," EY is reporting on the development of additive manufacturing for the third time in a row, examining it from various perspectives. Is 3D printing just a passing phenomenon or a sustainable technology that is redefining manufacturing? The technology [...]
3D Printing in Model Making: Model makers, restorers, and the medical industry are increasingly faced with the challenge of converting computer animations into precise physical models. Thanks to 3D printing, CAD models can be printed quickly and easily on-site. Markforged 3D printers are particularly well-suited for this application thanks to their highly stable components and beautiful surface finish. [...]
Why fiber-reinforced 3D printing? Here you can see the cross-section of a component with a classic honeycomb structure, 3D printed with the Markforged Mark Two. However, there is a white "line" along the edge of the component. This white "line" is fiberglass reinforcement! This is additionally injected into the component as a continuous fiber via a second nozzle in the print head.
In this blog post, I'm reporting on coloring Onyx parts. A customer asked me before the weekend whether Onyx components could be colored with metallic paint. I couldn't answer that question. So I had a challenge for the weekend: I had to try it out right away – spraying and coloring an Onyx component with metallic paint. After [...]
The high-strength properties of reinforcing fibers and the surface texture of onyx allow for beautiful and functional 3D-printed components. However, some components require a special aesthetic. In this blog post, we explain how to paint or varnish 3D-printed components. 1. Preparation: The 3D-printed part must be prepared for painting. To ensure the paint adheres perfectly, [...]
Customers are increasingly asking us whether our Onyx printing material is compatible with water, diesel, oil, and acids. Today, we can provide a precise answer. No other carbon fiber-reinforced printing material is as widely used as the Onyx printing material developed by Markforged. It has a smooth, glossy surface and excellent appearance, with the [...]
A few months ago, we launched Onyx, a rigid, professional-grade composite material for end-use applications. Onyx takes part dimensional stability and 3D print success rates to a whole new level. In this article, we'll explore this in more detail. Dimensional stability refers to how well a 3D-printed part retains its shape during the printing process.
