Prototypes
With the new functionality of the Markforged printers, it is now possible to immediately test your printed parts for fit & function, using materials that not only look good, but are strong too. This means that prototypes have lower failure rates and your development cycles will be reduced greatly, saving you money, materials and time. See some examples below.
Jigs, Toolings & Fixtures
The applications for Markforged 3D printers are endless. Due to this, you can improve many of the tasks carried out during the processes of fabrication and manufacturing with custom parts. You can expect to experience reduced costs of such processes alongside shorter lead times and increased machine bandwidth. This makes purchasing a Markforged 3D printer a very cost-effective decision. Costing examples below.
End Use Parts
With the use of 3D printing, you can now manufacture end use parts as a viable alternative to manufacturing via tradtional, more expensive methods.
Compared to the low volume techniques used previously, 3D printing is incredibly cost effective and will still produce strong, superbly finished parts ready for End Use. This will subsequently reduce your overrall manufacturing costs.

Eiger : Production-Ready Printer Management
Not only are Markforged manufacturing superior 3D Printing technology, they also supply class leading software FOC to make your Markforged experience as seamless as possible between software and hardware. Eiger is powerful and easy to learn, allowing its users to import and slice their 3D models directly from their web browser and send to the printer via WiFi.
Breaking Through The Mark Two has brought parts from $400 down to a few dollars, from two week lead times down to one night, and has changed the way Arow Global designs and fabricates their parts.
An ABS 3D printer was used in the factory initially, however it did not meet expectations. Using Markforged technologies, Loska has designed, printed, and installed long term factory solutions in just a single day, saving the production plant hundreds of dollars per week.
Many manufacturers have realized significant cost savings and productivity improvements by integrating high strength additive manufacturing (AM) technology into their business, especially in support of their maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) strategy.
Markforged enabled Dixon Valve to produce new manufacturing tooling solutions faster and cheaper than ever before. System Engineer J.R. Everett describes the Markforged machines as “a critical component in our design process [that’s] really changing the way we work”

3D Printer For Your Business
Choosing the right 3D Printer for your business?
Whether this is your first foray into 3D Printing, or if you are a 3D Printing veteran, choosing the right printer for your requirements can be a daunting task. With new acronyms appearing every week and the industry rapidly evolving it can be difficult to understand the technology, systems, materials, mechanical properties and surface finishes and which methodology is going to work best for you. Below we list some typical questions you will need to think about:
What is the Maximum size I will need to print?
Printers come in all shapes & sizes. One of the first questions you should ask yourself is, what is the largest part i will need to print” and “am i happy gluing smaller parts together?” Our printers have varying build volumes from a 200mm cube to a full 1m cube and getting this right will save you money & time.
My product needs specific mechanical properties.
The 3D Printing industry is moving at an ever-increasing pace, but the biggest strides are being made with a variety of materials now available. Will you part need to withstand a load, withstand high temperatures, work in an abrasive environment, withstand UV light, or is it just a quick prototype to test the aesthetics? From everyday PLA to Continuous Carbon Fibre or even Metal printing we can advise you on the best material & technology for your needs.
My part needs to be highly detailed.
The surface finish on 3D Printed parts is getting better with every new generation of printers & the advances being made with material science. Typically SLA (Stereolithography) produces a better, most consistent finish than FDM but this comes at a slightly higher cost with materials. FDM printers are good enough for most applications these days but for an “injection moulded” look & feel, SLA is your go-to technology.
What is the lifetime cost of a 3D Printer?
Typically a 3D printer is costed over a 3 year period. The ROI (return on Investment) can vary depending upon the application but it’s not uncommon to see a 3D Printer producing production parts pay for itself within 3 months. If you are currently outsourcing 3D Printing, want to check fit & function, or just rapidly iterate you design without lengthy lead times, 3D Printing is a tool that saves businesses time & money every day.
