“We really don’t have the time to wait for the parts we need, we need to set the making of them in motion and forget about them while we work on other things. The MakerBot Replicator+ has been the ideal example of this ‘set it and forget it’ experience for creating 3D printed parts on both the production and the prototyping side.”
“Fast and interactive desktop 3D printing is absolutely critical at Local Motors - it’s integral towards what we do. MakerBot will always have a place with us.”
Markforged is on a mission to unlock the next 10x innovation in design and manufacturing. They build an Industrial 3D Printing Platform to liberate designers and engineers from decades-old, slow part creation processes. NASA, Google, Ford, Amazon, Siemens and thousands of companies in 50 countries use Markforged to print same-day prototypes and produce stronger end-use parts than they did before. With Markforged, customers are able to ship 50X faster, spend 20X less, and build products that are 23X stronger.
