Avoid threads on your 3D-printed components Under certain circumstances it may happen that your 3D printed component does not correspond to the desired or usual quality. The reason for this is often a lack of maintenance of the printer or incorrect storage of the materials. If the result of your 3D printing is unsatisfactory, [...]
Five industries that benefit the most from 3D printing Here are the five industries we believe will benefit most from additive manufacturing.Based on the companies that already use additive manufacturing in their production process, we would like to highlight the industries that we believe will benefit most from additive manufacturing. If you look at these industries, [...]
Metal 3D printing with Markforged 3D printed metal parts overnight! From visiting over 4000 manufacturing sites and working with manufacturing CEO's over the last 15 years, one thing is clear Manufacturers that embrace new technology and process improvement continue to succeed. Big Brand Manufacturers such as Porsche and Siemens are investing [...]
Why 3D printing with Markforged? 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 goes way beyond that. At Mark3D, we understand "3D printing" to mean; high-strength components, robot grippers, [...]
3D printed material with self-extinguishing properties Markforged, the innovative manufacturer of metal and composite 3D printers, announced the launch of the new material Onyx FR. Markforged has developed a flame-retardant material which can be reinforced with various continuous fibers to open up new applications in aerospace, defense and automotive. Onyx FR [...]
CNC vs. 3D Printing:What's the best way to make your part? Introduction The development of stronger 3D printing materials has encouraged manufacturers across industries to explore CNC vs 3D printing, and find ways to 3D print functional parts that were previously CNC machined. The 3D printing process can save manufacturers considerable [...]
Can 3D printed robot grippers be 97% cheaper? In practice, the economic and physical limitations of conventional manufacturing processes often make robot grippers heavy, bulky and inefficient - resulting in high costs with long lead times. 3D-printed robot grippers are very robust, yet lightweight and can be manufactured quickly at a fraction of the cost. [...]
Why fiber-reinforced 3D printing? Here you can see the cross section of a 3D printed component with a classic honeycomb structure with the Markforged Mark Two. At the edge of the component there is a white "line". This white "line" is a glass fiber reinforcement! This is additionally printed as a continuous [...]
3D printing in model making Model makers, restorers or the medical industry are increasingly faced with the challenge of having to convert computer animations into precise physical models. Thanks to 3D printing, CAD models can be printed quickly and easily on site. Markforged 3D printers are ideal for this application because of their highly [...]
With the "Global EY Report 2019 on Additive Manufacturing / 3D Printing", EY is now reporting for the third time in a row on the development of additive manufacturing and sheds light on it from various perspectives. Is 3D printing just a brief phenomenon or is it a sustainable technology that is redefining [...]
