Markforged 3D Printers

CREATING STRONG, FUNCTIONAL PARTS HAS NEVER BEEN SO EASY

Markforged 3D printing systems – both composite and metal – are designed so you can produce parts that perform at a high level, right off the machine. They are leading the way with technologies such as Continuous Fiber Reinforcement (CFR) for unmatched metal-like strength from a composite system. Markforged also offers a metal printing system that is changing the game by providing accessible metal printing that is safe and easy to use. In addition to producing high-performance parts, Markforged has created a robust software called Eiger to make the digital manufacturing experience a breeze. The team at Markforged has developed a complete ecosystem of printers, materials, and software that provide you with a seamless user experience.

Markforged materials are designed to meet your most difficult engineering challenges. Composites like thermoplastics reinforced with carbon fiber and aerospace-grade materials enable Markforged parts to be used almost everywhere. Metal materials like Inconel and Copper introduce the design freedom of 3D printing to high-performance materials.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why should I purchase a Markforged machine through Hawk Ridge Systems?

Hawk Ridge Systems has dedicated engineers who operate, install, and service these systems every day. We know the in-depth tips and tricks to truly get the most out of these machines and we help our customers do the same.

Do you need to buy material from Markforged or is there an open-source material option?

Yes, the materials for the Markforged 3D printers are developed, tested, and manufactured by Markforged to create a complete system and designed to ensure your parts meet the quality and performance standards required from a professional 3D printer.

What software is needed to build a part on a Markforged printer?

All Markforged systems can run on the free, cloud-based build management software called Eiger. This software is free to try out at eiger.io.

How does the metal 3D printing system from Markforged work?

The Metal X uses a 3-step printing process of printing, washing, and finally sintering in an oven. The printing process itself is unique to metal 3D printing because it uses metal powder that is bound in plastic, which eliminates the risks and costs associated with handling metal powders.

What is the expected surface finish on a Markforged composite part?

Markforged printers have exceptional surface finish at a much higher grade compared to other printing technologies in this space. A major factor is due to the thermoplastics developed by Markforged in combination with finer layer heights.

Does Markforged provide an offline version of the Eiger software for high security companies?

Yes, Markforged has an offline version of their primary software called Offline Eiger.
