The EIGER software
3D printing with high-end printing materials and continuous fibers
The dynamic additive manufacturing software that allows you to print any part on demand, exactly where it is needed.
Preparation. Printing. Management. Scaling.
Meet EIGER. With Markforged's dynamic additive manufacturing software, you can print any part on demand from anywhere in the world.
From design to component – easier than ever before!
Eiger is an integrated, connected platform that quickly takes you from CAD model to functional component. The browser-based workflow is secure, fast, and intuitive.
The Markforged EIGER software is powerful and very easy to use. Your parts can be quickly optimized with the right settings and fiber orientations to optimally design your part for your application.
Print with continuous fibers, composites and metals
With Eiger, you can print metal or composite parts reinforced with continuous fibers. You can prepare parts for printing with a single click or drill down into part settings to optimize your final product.
Seamless interaction with printers
Eiger is fully integrated with all Markforged 3D printers, allowing you to design parts, print parts, and monitor the printing process in one seamless workflow.
Conveniently store and retrieve components
You can easily upload the component created in the CAD program (e.g., SOLIDWORKS) as an STL file via your browser (Google Chrome) to the cloud-based Eiger software for Markforged 3D printers. There, you can manage and catalog your files.
After uploading the STL file, you can optimize it for your application with just a few clicks. For example, increase wall thickness, scale, adjust fill density, select honeycomb structure, adjust support structure, etc.
In the next step, you insert the fiber into the component. You can freely choose the layers in which the fiber should be inserted. There are three adjustable fiber placement methods to choose from. This allows you to perfectly design your component for the force application.
The printing process can be paused to embed components into the print. This allows you to print RFID chips, nuts, razor blades, or magnets into your component.
Manage projects with simple organizational features
Organize and organize your components intuitively and easily with folders. Sort components and projects alphabetically, by creation date, or by modification date.
Find the right component every time
Easy-to-use filters sort components by name, material or user – so you can always quickly find the component you need.
Monitor your systems in real time
With Eiger, you can monitor every connected device in your organization from anywhere in the world. Receive real-time updates on critical project progress as it's being executed.
Integrated customer service
Eiger software updates are automatically delivered to your company, unlocking new features and continuously improving printer performance. Support is fully integrated into the software and accessible directly from the parts and printer pages.

Scaling your additive manufacturing – EIGER Fleet
As the latest addition to the Markforged Eiger software portfolio, Eiger Fleet was developed to help manufacturers integrate revolutionary additive manufacturing technologies into their conventional workflows.
Production-ready printer management
Eiger adds selective fiber reinforcement to your part for 3D printing on a Markforged machine. Thanks to its powerful fiber routing and slicing intelligence, the software is easy to use for any technician and allows for intervention when needed. Eiger's free, cloud-based platform is suitable for any size printer network, whether you use one or one hundred Markforged 3D printers.
Markforged takes the security and privacy of your data very seriously.
ISO 27001 – Security Certification
- Markforged is the only certified manufacturer in the additive sector.
- The certification was issued by an external testing body.
- Your data is safe in the EIGER software!
* MFP files (Markforged Print) are the unprocessed output data of the EIGER software, which the Markforged printers use to print the component.
** Application data includes account information for the license server, folder structures, printer settings and used material quantities/print volumes.
