Konu: A system capable of 3D printing with carbon, glass or Kevlar continuous reinforcement
JEC Group,08.02.2016
MarkForged announces the Mark Two, a system which enables engineer to combine the design flexibility
of 3D printing with the remarkable strength of carbon fiber, fiberglass, or Kevlar continuous reinforcement.
MarkForged developed the Mark Two with three goals in mind: a faster
fiber printing process, allowing customers
to get parts in their hands
faster than before; the ability to strengthen smaller features within
all parts; and an
increased confidence in 3D printing job completion and
overall reliability.
The Mark Two offers a 40% faster fiber
printing process; the ability to reinforce features 15 times smaller
than before;
and a host of incremental improvements in software,
hardware, and materials to enhance the overall experience.
Thanks to the
Mark Two, customers can make industrial strength parts more easily than
they were able to before,
cutting lead times and increasing overall
efficiencies within their company.
“The software also
automatically strengthens more of the parts we throw at it, especially
smaller and more detailed parts.
We can make them lightweight, we can
make them very stiff, and it's basically a cost-effective overnight
operation.
In both R&D and production, nearly every day brings a new
opportunity to quickly replace machined aluminum or brittle
plastics
with robust reinforced 3D prints." says Charles Su, Applications and
Control Engineer at Brooks Automation.
Alongside the Mark Two,
MarkForged is announcing the new Enterprise bundle. It allows customers
to print fiber material
that can handle higher temperature environments,
an important factor for customers in the aerospace and automotive
industries.
“After introducing the world to continuous fiber
reinforced printed parts, we wanted to focus on perfecting the
experience with
a MarkForged printer,” says Greg Mark, Founder and CEO
of MarkForged, Inc. “The Mark Two enhances the overall MarkForged
experience and means our customers get stronger parts in their hands,
faster than before.”
