With the dust settled and the Mark Two officially announced, our team finally had the chance to reflect on our experience in Dallas during SolidWorks World 2016. Dallas offered a mix of culinary delights, scenic runs, and a vibrant partner pavilion showcasing cutting‑edge 3D design, metrology, and

Christian Bagg is an adventurer who has turned a snowboarding accident into a mission to enable others to explore the outdoors. After becoming a paraplegic, he designed a custom wheelchair that could tackle the same snow‑covered, rugged terrain he loved. The result is the Icon Explore, an off‑road

Mass manufacturing turns to additive technologies for end‑use components Industrial 3D printing is moving beyond prototyping into production, enabling manufacturers to create complex, low‑volume parts directly from CAD models. This shift reduces tooling costs, shortens lead times, and cuts material

Since its launch nearly a month ago, the Mark X has garnered significant acclaim for its exceptional precision design. The concept of in‑process inspection—integrating quality checks directly into the manufacturing workflow—is still novel to many, making clear communication of its value a substantia

Working at an industrial‑strength 3D printing firm means you can turn an idea into a functional part in minutes. Over the past two years, our team has built everything from toothbrush holders to Kevlar door hinges and GPS mounts for bike handlebars. With the Mark Two 3D printer and a growing in‑hous

From October 26th to 28th, Senior Applications Engineer Dan Topjian and the 3HTI team showcased MarkForged’s cutting‑edge composite 3D printers at the South‑Tec manufacturing show in Charlotte, North Carolina. South‑Tec, a premier regional event that spotlights CNC machining, laser metrology, robot

One of the most exciting niches for our printers is combat robotics. Over the past season we proudly supported Jamison Go and Charles Guan, who used our Markforged machines to produce everything from unibody one‑pound robots to shock‑absorbing electronic mounts for the 250‑lb BattleBots teams Overha

3D printing has evolved from a rapid‑prototyping tool to a primary manufacturing method. A 3D print farm—an array of printers operating concurrently and continuously—boosts production volume dramatically. To achieve maximum throughput, printer downtime must be minimized through automation and rel

Writer’s Note: This is the first in a series of posts introducing the Mark X, our latest 3‑D printer. Today we explore its in‑process inspection capability—a breakthrough that lets users monitor print quality in real time, closing the loop on 3‑D manufacturing. Why Closing the Loop Matters In an id

Earlier this year, we introduced Onyx, a stiff, micro‑carbon‑reinforced nylon filament designed for end‑use applications. While initially exclusive to Mark Two Enterprise users, Onyx is now readily available with our Onyx Series printers, offering a measurable boost in dimensional stability and pri

3D printing is advancing into the realm of production, both in terms of work-holding to assist in machining operations and custom end-use parts. While the value of a printer may not seem apparent at first, exec

Introduction Welcome to the first installment of our two‑part series on retrofitting a Tesla turbine with Markforged components. We’ll walk through every step—from concept to design to final print—using proven techniques from earlier posts. By the end of this series, you’ll see a fully functional Te

In this third installment of our Design for 3D Printing series, we reveal practical tactics that shave hours off your print time and reduce material waste. If you missed Parts 1 and 2, read them now to get the full picture. Why 3D Printing Is Often Slower Although additive manufacturing can save sig

Well‑designed jigs and fixtures drive lean, efficient production, yet the engineering effort required can bottleneck smaller operations. Markforged demonstrates how its Mark Two printers can transform quality control by creating high‑performance tooling in 3D‑printed form.Every Markforged printer is

Al Dean of Develop3D delivered an exhaustive review of the Mark Two across two magazine issues. While the full feature is essential reading, we’ve distilled five standout quotes that best capture our product’s strengths and the company’s philosophy.
