Webinar: Build Stronger 3D Parts with Eiger Software

Update: If you missed our live session on May 5, watch the full recording here.

Original Post: We’re launching a webinar series next week and invite you to join us for the first session focused on our flagship software, Eiger.

Customers repeatedly tell us why they love Eiger. In this webinar, we’ll demonstrate the features that make it indispensable for creating high‑strength, fiber‑reinforced parts with the Mark Two industrial 3D printer.

When: Thursday, May 5, 11 a.m. EDT – Sign Up!

Why Markforged’s Mark Two is a Game Changer

The Mark Two prints parts that rival the strength of aluminum. It does this by layering continuous composite fiber—Carbon, High‑Strength High‑Temperature Fiberglass, Fiberglass, or Kevlar—within a nylon matrix. The result is unprecedented strength, stiffness, and durability.

Eiger: The Software That Powers It All

Eiger is a browser‑based, cross‑platform tool that runs on any computer. It’s the backbone of every Markforged printer, enabling precise fiber reinforcement and intuitive workflow. Whether you’re new to 3D printing or an experienced engineer, Eiger’s user‑friendly interface lets you control every aspect of the build.

Key Features at a Glance

• Comprehensive parts library (STL)
• Project organization with folders
• Selection of fiber material and fill type (concentric or isotropic)
• Layer‑specific fiber placement
• Nylon fill pattern, density, and wall layers
• 2‑D and 3‑D internal view modes
• Interactive layer bar for real‑time adjustments

After configuring your part, simply click Save to slice the model and generate nylon and fiber nozzle paths. Press Print to send the job via Wi‑Fi, Ethernet, or USB to the printer’s internal memory.

Live Demo

Below is a 3‑D model of a manual brake lever imported into Eiger.

The brake lever, reinforced with carbon fiber (blue), appears in Eiger’s 3‑D internal view mode.

Layer 57 of the lever demonstrates the detailed fiber placement in Eiger’s 2‑D internal view mode.

With multiple reinforced brake levers on the build plate, you can print them simultaneously.

Join us on Thursday, May 5, at 11 a.m. EDT to explore these features and more.
