Metal 3D printing is becoming more accessible, scalable, and robust—but what exactly are the advantages of adopting this technology? Our latest white paper is here to help you separate truth from myth and give you strategic, tactical insights on the benefits of metal 3D printing.

Read our Metal 3D Printing Fundamentals guide to learn:

• The different types of processes and how they work
• The benefits, considerations, and differentiators among metal 3D printing technologies
• The current and long term views of metal 3D printing

While carbon fiber 3D printing has been around for the better part of a decade, it has rapidly risen to prominence in the last few years. Today, many incumbent 3D printer manufacturers are rushing to capitalize on the term “Carbon Fiber 3D Printing” but not all carbon fiber is created equal.

This white paper covers the basics of carbon fiber in the 3D printing space — where we’ll define the different types, examine the challenges, benefits, implementation considerations, and more. Within carbon fiber printing, we’ll take a deep dive into the benefits of Carbon Fiber Reinforcement (CFR) from Markforged.

The adaptive manufacturing platform that connects part design, production, and inspection with a powerful AI.

Public perception of additive manufacturing has been skewed for years. Industry monoliths have been obsessed over futuristic, vanity applications instead of practical use cases. But they’ve had it wrong. Today, 3D printing solutions are already transforming supply chains and manufacturers around the world.
