Carbon sells 3D printers along with related software and material for additive manufacturing to allow mass customization and on-demand inventory management. With a range of patented engineering and dental resins, Carbon targets automotive, consumer goods, dental (healthcare), and other industrial use cases. Carbon’s product portfolio includes several types of 3D printers named M1, M2, and M3 (an advanced end-to-end idea-to-production platform introduced in January 2022) as well as L1 and a parts washer. Carbon’s materials portfolio includes rigid, elastomeric, and dental materials. Carbon’s design software platform was launched targeting product designers globally in 2022. It offers regular software updates to its printers to continuously improve the processes and the outcome. With the acquisition of design software company <a href="https://sp-edge.com/updates/12722">ParaMatters </a>in August 2022, Carbon expanded its software capabilities to include topology optimization capabilities, allowing users to speed up the design iteration process and create complex, high-performance part designs.The company also offers print analytics solutions, allowing real-time review of production data and part traceability from design to print stage. Adding to its proprietary pool of materials, in February 2022, Carbon introduced a flame retardant photopolymer resin that ensures durability and the long-term stability of printed parts.Carbon uses patented Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) technology that uses digital light projection and engineering-grade materials to develop parts with mechanical properties and a surface finish. DLS is driven by Carbon’s Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) technology, which uses ultraviolet (UV) light to cure liquid plastic resin into solid parts. Unlike traditional resin-based 3D printing (which reportedly makes weak parts), Carbon’s printed parts are baked in an oven, exposing the parts to a second heat-activated programmable procedure for improved strength.&nbsp;In November 2024, the company&nbsp;<a href="https://sp-edge.com/updates/36173">launched the EPU Pro platform</a>, a single-part, dual-cure elastomer resin.

 Markforged is a seller of 3D printers with material and software solutions for tooling, fixtures, functional prototyping, and high-value end-use production. It targets various industries including aerospace, automotive, consumer packaged goods, electronics manufacturing, medical, and industrial equipment. The company launched an 
 <a href="https://sp-edge.com/updates/22057">
 on-demand parts platform
 </a>
 called Digital Source in September 2023, which facilitates the licensing and 3D printing of manufacturer-certified parts, eliminating the need for physical inventory management for manufacturers.
 
 
 Markforged&rsquo;s line of 3D printers includes a metal printer, a series of industrial composite printers, and a series of desktop composite printers, using metal (a range of metals from stainless steel to copper), plastics, and continuous fiber. The company also offers several software solutions including Eiger, a cloud-based digital repository, and Blacksmith, which connects part design, production, and inspection using AI. It also offers software to scale up AM operations by giving role-based access control to team members. In November 2022, Markforged introduced 
 <a href="https://sp-edge.com/updates/14613">
 new simulation features 
 </a>
 for its software, the Digital Forge, enabling customers to replace tooling and end-use metal parts with optimized 3D-printed advanced composite parts.
 
 
 Markforged uses several patented technologies. For example, for thermoplastic printing, the company uses a combination of fused filament fabrication (FFF) printing and continuous fiber fabrication (CFF) technologies that harness the heat of the nozzle to make a thermoplastic layer; for metal printing, it uses atomic diffusion additive manufacturing (ADAM), which is a specialized form of FFF.
 
 
 In April 2022, Markforged acquired engineering software developer Teton Simulation to expand its AM solutions by integrating technologies. In August 2022, it also 
 <a href="https://sp-edge.com/updates/12725">
 acquired Digital Metal,
 </a>
 a Swedish developer of binder jetting technology, to enable Markforged to produce high-throughput metal additive parts.
 
 
 Key customers and partnerships
 
 
 Markforged claims to own the largest fleet of cloud-based industrial 3D printers (with a 13,000+ connected installed base and 10 million+ parts printed, as of January 2024). Markforged has served the top nine global manufacturing companies and top 10 aerospace companies, including notable clients (disclosed) including RPG industries, Caldwell, and Cashco, Inc. Another notable customer is Phillips Corporation, which became the first customer of Markforged&rsquo;s FX20 industrial composite printer, introduced in November 2021. Markforged also entered into technology partnerships with Siemens and Indian tech company TechNova. It has remote teams in over 70 countries and 100+ channel partners across the US, Canada, Europe, UK, Asia, and Australia.&nbsp;
 
 
 Funding and financials
 
 
 Markforged was listed on the NYSE (MKFG) in July 2021 through a SPAC deal, receiving approximately USD 361 million in gross proceeds. The company had planned to use the new funding to accelerate innovation and expand its customer base.&nbsp;
 
 
 In 2022, Markforged achieved a revenue of USD 
 <a href="https://sp-edge.com/updates/16891?industryIds=71">
 101.0 million,
 </a>
 recording a growth of 10.7% YoY. Revenue growth was driven by strong demand for the FX20 printer which was commercialized in 2022. However, it reported an operating loss of USD 87.1 million in 2022 compared to a loss of USD 61.0 million in 2021 on the back of increased spending on research and marketing activities. Markforged guided revenue in 2023 to reach USD 90 million&ndash;95 million. The company also expects to achieve an operating loss of USD 59 million&ndash;61 million translating to a loss per share of USD 0.26&ndash;0.28 in 2023.
 
 
 In November 2023, Markforged announced that it has undergone a 
 <a href="https://sp-edge.com/updates/23946">
 restructuring
 </a>
 process, along with other cost-cutting measures, citing ongoing economic challenges, projected to result in operating cost savings ranging from USD 9 million to USD 12 million in 2024. The majority of these savings were attributed to a reduction in headcount by around 10%.

 DyeMansion, a company specializing in post-processing for polymer 3D printing, has unveiled three new products at the Formnext 2024 trade fair in Germany. These are: the Powershot X post-processing system, the updated DM60 Reservoir dyeing system, and the Automotive ColorsX dye collection.
 The Powershot X system provides both cleaning and surfacing solutions for parts produced using SLS, SAF, MJF, or HSS technologies. It allows users to choose between cleaning, surfacing, or a mix of the two. The revamped DM60 Reservoir is equipped with inbuilt sensors for accurate water tracking, which enables users to reuse dyeing water up to 12 times. DyeMansion claims these enhancements to the DM60 Reservoir can cut costs of dyeing by more than half and decrease process times by as much as 30%. The Auto ColorsX dye set offers better UV and heat resistance, with grey scale values that are up to four times higher.
