Markforged Desktop Printers

Fiber infill can help create a stronger and stiffer part while maintaining advantages of additive manufactured parts such as light weight parts.

No, there are no special requirements for ventilation of Markforged composite 3D printers.

No, there is no need for a heated bed or chamber to build quality parts. The parts are built in a natural room environment within an enclosed frame.

Isotropic fiber will improve the overall stiffness in the XY plane while concentric placement will improve the strength of the walls in the Z Axis.

Yes, there are three sparse fill patterns including triangular, hexagonal and rectangular, along with solid.

Periodically, you will need to change the tubes and the print nozzles for each material. The printer will keep track of this and remind you when you need to perform the maintenance. Additionally, you will need to keep the machine clean, tension the belts when prompted, clean and re-glue the bed after each print, and re-level the bed every few prints.

Yes, you will need to buy material from Markforged. The material is developed, tested, and manufactured by Markforged to create a complete system of tested materials and machines to ensure your parts meet the quality and performance standards required by a professional 3D printer.

What software do I need to build a part using a Markforged printer?

The digital forge is an industrial additive manufacturing platform that incorporates precision machines, high performance materials, and enterprise-grade software to create robust, high-quality composite and metal parts on-demand. It is fast, easy to use, and secure, giving you an all-in-one, seamless platform that integrates perfectly into your existing manufacturing environment.

The support material is the same material used for the model. It is created automatically by the slicing software and easily removed by hand or with a small needle nose pliers.
