Providing World Class Support, Training & Advice for Markforged 3D Printers

Q: How much does an industrial 3D printer cost?

The average price of a 3D printing machine depends on how heavy-duty it is. Most low-end 3D printers cost around £550 on average, with higher-end personal 3D printers ranging from £1,100 to £2,700. Higher-quality printers for professionals typically cost anywhere from £2,700 to £4,700. Finally, top-of-the-line industrial 3D printers can be priced up to £78,000 or sometimes higher.

Q: How is metal 3D printed?

In metal 3D printing, a thin layer of metal powder is spread over the build platform first. Then, a powerful laser is used to scam the cross-section of the piece, which melts and fuses the metal particles to create another layer. The entirety of the 3D model is scanned, so you can expect a result that’s 100% accurate.

Laser Inspection

The Markforged X7, using its inbuilt lasers is capable of scanning the print bed to an accuracy of 1µm. When completed, this scan is used to generate a map of print bed which can be used to calibrate nozzle height and active topography. This is one of the ways that Markforged 3D printers ensure that your prints are exactly how you’d like them.

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 & 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.

End Use Parts

With the use of 3D printing, you can now manufacture end use parts as a viable alternative to manufacturing via traditional, 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 overall manufacturing costs.

Markforged Success Plan

The Mark forged Success Plan has been designed to give peace of mind to Markforged owners. Chose your 1-3 year plan for your printer and receive benefits such as:

Telephone, email, & GoToMeeting support from SolidPrint3D & Markforged
Accidental damage to the printer
Express Shipping on new & replacement parts
Access to a Mark forged Engineer via 2 x 1-hour sessions. (Appointment needed.)
