Markforged — American startup from Boston, which introduced a new 3D printing technology, its speed is not inferior to “Replicator” from Star Trek. In practice, this means that this method is based on carbon fiber is one of the most economical and fastest ways of manufacturing parts.

Now statap attracted investments in the amount of $ 30 million. Among the shareholders are Siemens, Microsoft Ventures, Porsche SE and several other large companies. Previously presented Markforged 3D printers for metal 3D printing, at a cost of 100 thousand dollars, using the same high-speed printing technology, and stated that “replicators”.
The difference of the new apparatus is that the carbon fibre parts largely will not yield metal, and in some cases can completely replace, with the printing speed compared to the conventional 3D printers will grow to 50 times — said the representative of the manufacturer.

“WE STRIVE TO MAKE 3D PRINTING NOT JUST THE NEW AND FASHION TRENDS, AND WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE ANY OBJECTS ALMOST INSTANTLY, AS DOES THE REPLICATOR FROM STAR TREK. CURRENT 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY CAN NOT MEET ALL THE NEEDS OF MAN: THEY ARE SLOW, LONG TIME TO THINK, AND THE END RESULT IS OFTEN ROADS AND FAR FROM IDEAL. WE WANT TO CHANGE THAT,” SAYS CEO OF MARKFORGED GREG MARK.

Received from investors-money the company plans to allow for the production of devices capable of making 3D printing as simple and effective process that may ultimately be useful in the same Porsche and Siemens.
