Markforged, a company headquartered in the USA, has been manufacturing high-performance 3D printers for various materials – such as nylon, chopped carbon fiber, reinforcing continuous filament and metal – since 2013.
Composite refers to a composite material made of plastic reinforced with short or continuous fibers – such as carbon. Printed composite parts meet the high requirements in terms of strength, rigidity, precision and durability, and can, therefore, even replace aluminum parts.
With the 3 P's to the finished component
3D scan
Easily measure objects with the portable “Handy Scan 3D” from Creaform, in order to obtain the component’s CAD data, or subject components to a subsequent quality check by scanning the finished workpiece.
Software
The multifunctional software "Eiger" from Markforged offers a wide range of options – from the creation of parts to their management in additive manufacturing workflows. Thanks to the cloud connection, additive manufacturing in tomorrow’s world is possible anytime and anywhere with seamless access on demand.
Desktop series
The continuous fiber 3D printer was developed to revolutionize your production methods! This exceptional ability to produce parts with the strength of aluminum right at your workstation – both the Onyx Pro and Markforged’s Mark Two carbon fiber printer make it easy to produce value-enhancing parts for your business.
Industry series
Markforged’s “Industrial Series” 3D printers support the ability to quickly produce fiber-reinforced carbon parts that are as strong as machined aluminum. These models are particularly suitable for the production off functional parts as well as prototypes characterized by flame-retardant, chemical-resistant, energy-absorbing and high-resolution properties.
Material
The composite printer uses two nozzles to introduce both the base material and a continuous fiber into the layer. This enables the production of composite components with exceptional strength that can potentially replace conventional aluminum parts.
