Markforged is an American startup from Boston who introduced the new 3D printing technology, which at its speed is not inferior to the Star Trek replicator. In practice, this means that this carbon-based method is one of the most economical and quick ways of manufacturing parts.

At present, STAPE attracted an investment of $ 30 million. Among the shareholders are Siemens, Microsoft Ventures, Porsche SE and several other large companies. Previously, Markforged introduced 3D printers for metallic 3D printing worth 100,000 dollars using the same high-speed printing technology as the claimed “replicators.”

The difference between the new devices is that the carbon fiber parts will not in all resist the metal, and in some cases, they can completely replace them, with the speed of printing compared with conventional 3D printers will increase to 50 times,

The company intends to spend money from investors on the development of devices capable of making 3D printing as simple and effective as possible, which may ultimately prove useful for the same Porsche and Siemens.
