We’re excited to announce the opening of our new 2,000‑sqft office in Kendall Square, Cambridge, housed within the Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC). This space will serve as the new hub for Blacksmith, our AI‑powered software that drives adaptive manufacturing. “Kendall Square is the perfect enviro

Additive manufacturing is reshaping production, driving the Fourth Industrial Revolution forward. Companies that thrive will do so by embracing these technologies and rethinking how they design, produce, and operate. The biggest hurdle? Bridging the skill gap. While additive manufacturing delivers

At Markforged, we’re committed to delivering cutting‑edge knowledge about additive manufacturing and its evolving role in product development. That’s why we’re excited to launch two fresh learning channels: AM Fridays and the Additive Podcast. AM Fridays delivers the latest 3D‑printing trends, event

Intro3D printing, like machining or forging, begins with a digital blueprint. In additive manufacturing, the foundation is a robust CAD model that defines every detail of the final part. A capable CAD tool not only shapes the geometry but also ensures the model is ready for seamless transfer to a 3D

Metal powder is the cornerstone of virtually every metal‑3D‑printing process. Whether dispensed as a loose powder or fused within a filament, the powder’s ability to bind under laser or electron beam determines the range of parts a machine can build. For example, aluminum powder is notoriously diffi

In the high‑stakes world of surgery, every minute saved can improve patient outcomes. For medical companies, that means streamlining processes—from patient intake to the tools that surgeons use. 3D printing is transforming this landscape by allowing rapid, custom fabrication of surgical instruments.

When you think of 3D printing, you might picture prototypes or novelty toys. In reality, the technology is revolutionizing everything from housing to medicine, and even space exploration.3D‑Printed HousesSan Francisco‑based non‑profit New Story teamed with construction tech firm Icon to create a 350

We’re excited to announce the opening of our new 25,000‑sq‑ft manufacturing hub in Billerica, Massachusetts. This state‑of‑the‑art space will more than double our production capacity, allow us to meet growing customer demand, and create additional roles within the organization. Matt Gannon, VP of O

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Additive, the podcast that explores every facet of additive manufacturing. From 3D‑printed drones to biotechnology, we uncover the most innovative uses of 3D printers worldwide. This episode is hosted by Marko Madecki and proudly presented by Markforged. In this f

3D Printing Trends 2019: Metal Innovation, Binder Jetting Breakthroughs, and Advanced Plastics 2019 marks a pivotal year for additive manufacturing. After two consecutive years of rapid machine innovation and expanding industrial adoption, 3D printing has proven its capacity to transform traditional

Markforged’s Global Partner Summit 2019, held in January in Austin, Texas, gathered more than 300 attendees representing 31 countries. In its second year, the summit served as a platform to unveil 2019’s product roadmap, foster networking, and honor our most outstanding partners. The event featured

All steels contain carbon (from 0.02% to 2.1%). Why, then, is the term “carbon steel” reserved for specific alloys? The term actually refers to two distinct categories: conventional carbon steel and low‑alloy steel. Stainless steel, by contrast, is a specialized group of alloys engineered to resist

Additive manufacturing is reshaping corporate operations. While the immediate gains—cost reductions and faster turnaround on tooling and fixtures—are undeniable, the real power lies in the secondary benefits that accrue over time. These include higher productivity, extended product life, and strateg

With the rise of 3‑D printing and advanced manufacturing materials, innovators in the mobility sector are now able to deliver higher independence and a better quality of life to amputees and individuals with neurological conditions. Millions worldwide rely on prosthetics and mobility devices to navi

What is Adaptive Manufacturing and How Is It Transforming Production? For a century, machines produced parts without awareness of their quality. Thousands of out‑of‑spec pieces cost time and money. Adaptive manufacturing is changing that paradigm. By embedding artificial intelligence, the manufactu

Choosing the correct material is a foundational decision in any manufacturing project. While carbon steel may suffice for low‑stress, cost‑critical parts, many modern applications demand superior strength and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures. To determine the best alloy, consider: Env

Mark Statham, Production and Engineering Manager at Dunlop Systems and Components, identified a persistent bottleneck: the tooling team had to wait weeks for replacement parts, either by fabricating them in‑house or outsourcing to third parties. The delay stalled production and raised costs. Seekin

We are excited to announce the 2020 Global Partner Summit, taking place at The Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa in Savannah, Georgia. Now in its third year, the Summit provides value‑added partners with the latest insights into Markforged products and 3D printing trends, and offers a platfor

The latest breakthroughs in additive manufacturing—fiber‑reinforced composites and reliable metal printing—are driving 3D printing into mainstream industrial use. Siemens AG, a long‑time leader in additive technology, is expanding its footprint by integrating Markforged’s solutions across factories

Threaded Components in 3D PrintingThreaded connectors, holes, and bolted joints are foundational to virtually every engineered part you manufacture. When working with 3D‑printed parts, the thread quality directly impacts assembly durability. Traditional plastic threads—either printed or hand‑tapped—
