Major brand manufacturers such as Porsche and Siemens are investing in Markforged, gaining a significant competitive advantage in the era of Industry 4.0.

Over 100 years later, this couldn't be further from the truth; today's business customers demand products that meet their business needs, while consumers increasingly want something customized and tailored just for them. The market, crowded with makers, DIYers, and individualists, is forcing everyone to act to bring back craftsmanship on a massive, industrial scale. The world wants something impossible: mass customization\u2014all the charm of artisanal, customized production with all the benefits of mass production. In 2018, the reinvention of manufacturing is "mass customization." While 3D printing focused on low-volume cosmetic prototypes, Additive Manufacturing technology now embraces printer parallelization and mass production.

It may still sound like something out of Star Trek, but push-button additive manufacturing technology isn't the future. It's happening right now at manufacturing companies around the world. We now have the ability to print strong parts on the same day and produce them more cost-effectively than traditional metal fabrication. Locally and safely, and lighter than cast iron. With the revolutionary new technology of metal 3D printing, manufacturing companies are experiencing new possibilities for producing products at lightning speed. Additive manufacturing is therefore changing the way we design and manufacture products.<\/p>\n<\/div>
