Mobile 3D Printers in the Field!
The US Army and the Dutch military rely on Markforged 3D printers. This means that necessary components such as jigs, fixtures, tools or spare parts can be easily printed directly on site within a very short time.
From the sketch, to the design, to the first 3D printed prototype in a few hours. All on site in the field without long waiting and delivery times. Thanks to the possibility to insert a continuous fiber made of carbon, kevlar or glass fiber into the components, the components are guaranteed to be robust enough to withstand the demands.
Markforged X7 Field Edition
The robust housing of the Markforged X7 3D printer also serves as a stand, allowing you to work at an ideal height while providing storage space for spare parts or materials.
Thanks to the ingenious concept, the use and first printing of a component is possible after only 3 minutes!
The supplied consumables, spare parts and materials ensure trouble-free use of the 3D printer.
Mark3D UK is your specialized partner for the X7 Field Edition!
The military operations are often in very remote areas. Deliveries of spare parts, useful devices or mountings often take weeks. We at Markforged have developed a mission edition especially for this purpose:

Case Study US-Navy
Staying Ahead with Durable, Versatile Parts on Demand
A major training base for the U.S. Army provides realistic joint and combined arms training to develop the U.S. Army’s soldiers and leaders for the battlefield. They train soldiers for upcoming deployments, wherever that may be in the world. By using additive manufacturing technology, the Army is able to create readiness factors that decrease downtime.
Distributed Production
Less than 2 days printing time on 20 machines
Strength optimised for load paths
Little or no support material
Reduced risk of misprints.
Assembled in less than 10 minutes!
Night vision
3D printing gives us the ability to be responsive and flexible to change.
Markforged customer (USAF) 27th Special Operations Wing from Cannon Air Force Base recently released a video showcasing its Markforged industrial 3D printer and the applications it has developed with it.
A pair of night vision goggles required various custom parts for mounting, which could be 3D printed quickly and inexpensively.
Availability. Independence. Innovation.
Individual Tools
Kevlar reinforced spanner handle with H13 insert! Printed on the Markforged X7 and the Metal X system.
The EIGER-SOFTWARE
The print jobs on the Markforged 3D printers are controlled by the EIGER software. However, data can be imported from almost all types of 3D CAD software.
