"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.”

"The introduction of Metal X within our center has meant a change for the better in training, expanding what we offer in a competitive way."

"We had a 100% return on investment within six months of purchasing the printer."

“Print thin enough and stiff enough to prototype the type of parts we’re looking for."

"This new technology challenged us to think differently about our approach to manufacturing. We were used to removing material with subtractive manufacturing, so we had to think backwards.”

"Once we realized the directional strength properties available with the Markforged products, we haven’t used anything else."

"The shrinkage and final density that we achieve with binder-jetted parts are very similar to metal injection-molded parts."

“Binder jetting enables us to reduce our development time and test multiple ideas in parallel, finalize the part design and go straight to production tooling.”

“From the time of the first phone call, the first emails, to the time when the printer showed up and started turning out parts, the experience couldn’t have been easier, and still here a year later, still printing out perfect parts every day.”

“We have managed to design fixtures that are 100% printed in 3 weeks and ready to validate the whole process.”

“The biggest advantage of additive manufacturing is that it unleashes your creativity and your ability to quickly create solutions to customers’ problems. You can’t innovate that fast with traditional manufacturing methods.”

"We were spending about a thousand pounds a month on 3rd party additive manufacturing. it’s like an eight-day lead time If you’re prototyping you want to get stuff fast, so you can’t really do it."

"When you’re deployed and you break something or try to get it replaced, it can be weeks before you get a new part in hand.”
