INDUSTRIAL 3D PRINTING

Most people think of Yoda heads and fidget spinners as soon as they hear the term "3D printing". Some people may think of building prototypes, but modern 3D printing has long since gone far beyond that.

At Mark3D, we understand "3D printing" to mean high-strength components, robot grippers, assembly aids, spare parts and so on. How is this possible? Markforged's modern 3D printers can print carbon fiber-reinforced components that are stronger than aluminum. This means that high-strength utility parts, tools, fixtures and small batches can be produced quickly and cost-effectively overnight to meet industrial requirements.

Thanks to Markforged 3D printers, high-strength components can be produced overnight. This means that cost-effective spare parts can be produced and long machine downtimes can be avoided. Instead of waiting a long time for suppliers, the individual components are simply 3D printed. This opens up a whole host of possible applications that make day-to-day operations more convenient, faster and more cost-effective.

DUNLOP Systems and Components was able to make exactly this experience and thus remain competitive in the long term. We have summarized this experience for you in a user report. Read the report now.

The Markforged Mark Two 3D printer quickly paid for itself, leading to significant cost savings, more streamlined processes and greater flexibility in production.

Likewise SIEMENS 8000$ and around 35 weeks delivery time per component. Simply because cost-intensive components were scrutinized and redesigned using the possibilities of additive manufacturing.

Modern manufacturing requires new tools, perspectives and ways of thinking in order to survive against the competition in highly competitive markets. Additive manufacturing can drastically reduce the costs of tools and parts associated with maintenance, repair and operation. Many manufacturers, such as DUNLOP and SIEMENS, have significantly improved the competitiveness of their operations by adopting additive manufacturing solutions for high-strength components, such as the printers of the X-Serie from Markforged. These fully equipped machines enable rapid production of tools and MRO equipment that are robust enough for shop floor requirements while significantly reducing tooling costs and lead times.

Advanced print materials, such as continuous carbon fiber, reinforce parts to achieve strengths beyond aluminum 6061-T6 and enable geometric complexities that exceed the capabilities of 6-axis machining centers - all controlled by powerful, simple printer management software that requires no CAM or NC programming skills. The Markforged X-Series is a critical tool for reducing costs and increasing performance in your manufacturing strategy.
