• The only AM platform powered by AI fleet learning
  What sets them apart is that their additive manufacturing platform is powered by AI fleet learning. Their cloud platform uses data from 10,000 connected printers and over 10 million completed prints to make Markforged printers continuously smarter through OTA (over-the-air) software updates.
• ISO/IEC:27001 and ISO:9001 certification
  Markforged takes security seriously and is ISO/IEC:27001 and ISO:9001 certified, making Digital Forge the world's most secure additive manufacturing platform. They have achieved ISO/IEC:27001 certification for information security, and ISO:9001 certification, which proves effective quality management in the delivery of Markforged products. With Markforged, you can trust that you are getting the best possible additive manufacturing solution on the market.

Powerful 3D printers for high-strength composites

Markforged's powerful 3D printers are designed to fabricate high-strength composites that are as strong as metal. Markforged Desktop series is small but mighty, while the FX20 is designed to scale up throughput.

Markforged is proud to be the first company to create 3D printers capable of Continuous Fiber Reinforcement (CFR) in parts. This revolutionary technology allows you to print composite parts that are strong enough to replace machined metal.

Using chopped carbon fibers can improve the mechanical properties and print quality of 3D-printed thermoplastics. However, using continuous fibers can increase the part strength by an order of magnitude, resulting in metal-strength composite parts. With our printers, you can confidently print composite parts that are built to last and perform.

The most accessible metal 3D printing

While metal fabrication processes are often viewed as expensive and complicated, one technology is defying this status quo. Metal fused filament fabrication (metal FFF) is an additive manufacturing process that has revolutionized metal fabrication by making it fast, cost-effective, and user-friendly.

With Markforged's Metal X System, you can 3D print a wide range of industrial metals, including stainless steel, tool steels, pure copper, and Inconel, without requiring highly trained operators or extensive personal protective equipment (PPE). The use of bound powder feedstock, as opposed to loose powder used in other metal additive manufacturing processes, makes the Metal X system safer and easier to use.

Precise, scalable binder jetting. High-throughput metal with no tooling

In the summer of 2022, Markforged made a significant stride forward by acquiring Digital Metal, a leading provider of binder jetting solutions. This acquisition represents a significant addition to Digital Forge, with the inclusion of the PX100, a reliable and precise platform capable of fabricating thousands of complex end-use parts. This technology empowers companies to introduce products to the market faster and more cost-effectively while maintaining full control over their means of production.

Conventional mass production methods often require months to set up and involve third-party supplier risk, as well as poor unit economics during ramp-up and lower volumes. The PX 100 from Markforged, however, delivers high-volume metal production directly at the point of need, enabling manufacturers to gain direct control of the process. As a result, companies can increase their agility, reduce the time to market, and minimize volume risk.
