Below we list the main properties and applications of each metal we have currently available for the Metal X system, along with a summary of

Just as with any manufacturing process, there are optimized and non-optimized ways to design parts for 3D printing. In this case, DFM (Design For Manufacturing)

Fiber appears in 3D printed parts in two different formats, and it’s important to understand the distinction. Chopped fibers less than a millimeter long are suspended

How do you decide what material is best for a manufactured part? This simple question has a complicated answer. An engineer must weigh criteria across

Learn the basics of composites and how you can 3D print them with continuous-strand fibers laid down into matrix materials. What makes a composite part

Metal 3D printing can unlock a whole range of new types of parts, and while some may work right out of the furnace, others may

Many of the Basic Design for 3D Printing techniques also apply to the Metal X printing process, since the material is deposited in the same

Get to know the design strategies for metal 3D printing here. With an understanding of metal 3D printing comes a deeper understanding of what kinds of

The Markforged Metal X additive manufacturing process combines metal injection molding (MIM) and fused filament fabrication (FFF) technologies together into Bound Powder Extrusion. BPE provides

There are two main drivers of whether or not a metal alloy is printed today: printability and demand. Though there are a wide variety of

The ability to additively manufacture near net shape parts has long been a holy grail of manufacturing. As a result, Metal 3D printing (the technology

Metal powder is the backbone of metal 3D printing.  Though it’s difficult and dangerous to handle in its raw state, its unique features make it
