The EIGER-Software
3D printing with high-end printing materials and endless fibres

Try the Eiger 3D printing software today!

The Markforged Eiger software is powerful and very easy to use. Your components can be quickly optimized with the right settings and fibre orientations to optimally design your component for your application.

You can easily load the component created on the CAD program as an STL file via the browser (Google Chrome) into the cloud-based Eiger software. There you can manage and catalog your files.

After uploading the STL file, you can optimize it for your application with just a few mouse clicks. e.g. Enlarge wall thicknesses, scale, adjust fill density, select honeycomb structure, adjust support structure, etc.

In the next step, you insert the fibre into the component, it is freely selectable in which layers the fibre should be inserted. There are 4 adjustable fibre types to choose from Carbon Fibre, Fibre Glass, High Strength High Temp Fibre Glass and Kevlar. You can adjust the amount of fibre in the part to suit the correct application.

The printing process can be paused to embed components in the print. Such as nuts, bolts and magnets into your component. When printing with supports turned on , the support structure is generated automatically. When printing parts with an angle over a 45 degree supports will be required.
