"Explaining why we use Blacksmith is simple. Blacksmith does the same thing that the old manual inspection process did. The difference is that Blacksmith digitizes the process which makes it faster, easier and more reliable.”

“With distributed batch processing, increasing the number of units is more effective than raising the speed of one unit, and it also helps us mitigate risks. For example, adding three units increases productivity by five times rather than three times.”

“In 2021, innovative product design is more important than ever. Consumers today are highly knowledgeable, passionate and they are linked to and know a brand and its products now more intimately than ever before. We recognize that in this respect, we offer something genuinely unique and authentic.”

“I’d say Markforged’s 3D printing platform for composite materials was the first technology to guarantee the production of components with the appropriate mechanical properties for our machines. The high precision of the 3D printed parts and being able to share models easily, make Markforged a tool every designer in a …

"This will enable Wärtsilä to speed up the introduction of new products with faster, cheaper, and safer tool creation."

"The potential to cut costs is really significant. If you’re going to save at least 1,000 Euros per tool, it’s a straight benefit."

“We got a handle on best practices and things to keep in mind when trying to design or adapt a design for additive manufacturing.”

“I’m tasked to ensure Dana uses additive more frequently or in a better way.”

”The good quality of the composite parts of the X7 opens some very good opportunities in terms of tooling and fixtures.”

"You recover your ROI in a single output, which changes the manufacturing model."
