Benefits of Markforged 3D Printers

Carbon-reinforced components

Benefit from carbon, kevlar, and fibreglass components, with the highest strength and dimensional stability. Take advantage of these materials with a Markforged composite 3D printer now.

The smooth surface and excellent properties of Onyx

This is the only carbon short fibre material that can be used with or without fibre reinforcement. Make use of this fantastic material with our Markforged carbon fiber 3D printer.

Ease of use

Markforged printers are easy to set up and maintain, with intuitive Eiger software to power them. You can typically be up and running in under 30 minutes.

Simple browser-based software

This allows engineers to fabricate fibre-reinforced end-products directly after  the design, processing and storing them in the cloud meaning easy updates & regular enhancements.

Precision, Quality, Design

Markforged printers offer high precision and top-quality components unrivalled in the FDM/ FFF world.

Repeatable

Markforged printers offer repeatable results regardless of material or reinforcement.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

How much does an industrial 3D printer cost?

The average price of an Industrial 3D printing machine can range from £16,000 – £150,000 and depends on build volume, materials and required finish.

3D Printing Metal can cost from £100,000 – £500,000 and again is very dependant upon the metal you want to use and the size of your prints.

Can you make money from 3D printing?

Commercial 3D printing can be a great way to make money. With a 3D printer, you can offer commercial 3D printing services and sell the models you create.

You can list 3D printing as a service on many websites and take orders online for the products that you print. If you do this, you can easily make back the Markforged 3D printer cost of your hardware when offering carbon fibre parts that outperform Aluminium.

Is a 3D printer worth it?

If you only want to print 3D models from time-to-time, it’s probably more cost-effective to use a 3D printing service instead. This way, you can get beautiful 3D printed items without having to buy a three-dimensional printer of your own.

However, buying a Markforged 3D printer isn’t a bad investment if you plan to use it regularly. Nowadays, 3D printers are more popular than ever before. You can easily get a high-quality one to use in your home at a reasonable Markforged 3D printer price.

How is metal 3D printed?

There are 2 main ways Metal is 3D Printed. The first involves using a traditional FDM process whereby the filament is 20% plastic and 80% metal. The part is printed and is usually 20% bigger than the finished item. The part is the but through a chemical wash called a de-binder and finally baked in a furnace where the parts shrink to the intended size and becomes solid.

The second method involves laying down layers of metal powder. A powerful laser then briefly melts & fuses these particles together to form a solid layer. More powder is then laid on top and the process is repeated until you end up with your solid part.

The different types of 3D printers

If you’re a beginner to 3D printing, you may be confused by the wide-ranging prices. To help you understand, here are the differences between 3D printers and the purposes that they serve:

• Hobbyist 3D Printers

Hobbyist 3D printers are on the lower end of the price range. They are best suited for users who want to 3D print toys and prototypes for larger projects and are using them at home.

With a hobbyist printer, you will have a smaller-sized print bed and be limited to certain materials.

• Professional 3D Printers

Designed with higher performance in mind, a professional three dimensional printer can create large, high-quality parts that a hobbyist printer simply can’t get close to with better surface resolution and a larger selection of materials.

• Industrial 3D Printers

Industrial 3D printers can print large parts at very high quality, and they can do this quite at a rapid speed.

How much is a three dimensional printer with industrial level specs? You can expect to pay from £30,000 to £150,000 for one of these.

The Markforged 3 dimensional printer family

Markforged’s first 3D printer was the Mark One, which is considered the very first carbon fibre 3D printer in the world. Markforged 3D printing was then taken to the next level with the superior Mark Two.

The company has also released two specialised 3D printers in its Onyx series, which are designed to make use of the fantastic Onyx material.

As for industrial printers, Markforged is setting high standards with their Markforged X3 3d printer and others in their product line.

If you are keen on getting one of these Markforged printers for yourself or your company, look no further than Solid Print3D. We provide incredible deals on our Markforged carbon fiber 3D printer and other products.
