The 3D scanning world just got a major upgrade. Artec 3D has launched Artec Studio 20 (AS20) - the latest version of its powerful 3D data capture and processing software, and it’s packed with new features designed to save time, boost accuracy, and unlock more creative possibilities for engineers, designers, and manufacturers. Already known as [...]
Additive manufacturing (AM) is reshaping how we design, prototype, and produce parts with unparalleled precision and flexibility. But even the most advanced 3D printing workflows can stumble when digital and physical worlds don’t align with millimetre-level accuracy. That’s where high-precision 3D scanning becomes the essential missing link, providing reliable, actionable data to hone every step [...]
New Large Format 3D Printing Facility at Hereford Glass Fibre Last week Mark3D UK Limited - The UK's #1 Markforged Partner completed the commissioning of two Markforged FX20 Industrial 3D Printers in Hereford Glass Fibre – The UK Specialists in Composite Materials. The purchase of these 2 large-format 3D printers was facilitated by [...]
The Markforged FX10 now 3D prints Nylon White! GET IN TOUCH What is Nylon White? Nylon White is Markforged's special version of the popular thermoplastic Nylon. This high quality material is smooth, non-abrasive and easily painted, making it useful in a wide range of applications. In addition, Nylon White [...]
3D Print in Metal and Composites with the Markforged FX10! Today we've got a huge announcement; the FX10 just received an upgrade that lets it 3D print metal, in addition to composite materials. This makes it the world’s first industrial metal and composite 3D printer! Watch the video, and read more below. See [...]
Can you break a 3D printed part? [Video] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmuC5ysw_v0 Can you break 3D printed components? Most people still think of toys or just-for-fun parts when they hear the words "3D printing". Some think of prototyping, but modern 3D printing has gone far beyond that. High-strength components, robotic grippers, assembly [...]
MACH 2024 Wrap Up! That's a wrap! The huge MACH 2024 show has now come to an end, and we had a great time. Not only did we have the full Markforged range on display including the versatile Mark Two, the beastly FX20, the quick and precise FX10 and the safe and [...]
Fibre Override Sketching - New Eiger Tool One of the greatest strengths of Markforged technology is the ability to reinforce 3D printed objects with secondary materials, such as fibreglass, carbon fibre and Kevlar. These continuous fibres – as opposed to chopped fibres – give printed objects more rigidity and strength than traditional [...]
Mark3D UK is expanding - new office The team has spent the last few weeks moving into a new, purpose-built facility to fully showcase and support Markforged Digital Forge. We now have a new, larger demonstration area for the ever-growing range of machines with many samples of customer applications. We also [...]
Manufacturing mechanically and thermally resilient components with industrial 3D printing Choosing the right 3D printing material is also particularly important in additive manufacturing! Which technical properties are particularly important for my application? What do the terms bending strain and bending stress as well as tensile strength mean? How important are chemical, mechanical, [...]
