Utilizing Markforged Simulation, the TAC team can quickly iterate backpack designs to optimize structural integrity while balancing fabrication time and rigidity. This approach has significantly reduced design time and costs compared to traditional metal fabrication, enabling faster adaptation to different sensor configurations during application development.
Simulation enabled their team to virtually test and optimize tool designs before 3D printing, eliminating the need for multiple physical prototypes. This approach reduced development time by more than 50% and ensured that the tools met stringent strength and performance requirements on the first print.
Centerline Engineered Solutions fabricates formed steel parts with an industrial press brake. In order to fabricate each part, Centerline has to make a unique punch and die. For most applications, the cost of this specialized tooling does not justify the expense of the part. By printing the tooling out of Onyx and reinforcing critical points with steel inserts, Centerline creates forming tooling at a vastly lower cost.
They print custom cable adapters for a 15 lb, handheld 3D camera that replaces conventional 100 lb rigs. These adapters consolidate cabling to a single interface point, making the camera simpler and easier to operate. Rent the Sky Films founder Scott Ferril describes this part as “the difference between getting the shots you want vs. the shots you have time for.”

Markforged Simulation uses Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to test part performance virtually. It simulates real-world conditions, such as stress, strain, and deformation, and provides metrics like strength, stiffness, and safety factor. This ensures parts meet performance requirements before printing, eliminating costly trial-and-error cycles
Markforged Simulation is a top choice for optimizing 3D prints. It integrates directly with the Eiger software, allowing users to adjust settings such as fill density and fiber reinforcement automatically. Its optimization features ensure reduced material usage, faster print times, and parts that meet or exceed functional requirements.
Markforged Simulation reduces costs by minimizing material waste and avoiding overbuilding. The software optimizes designs virtually, cutting material usage by up to 85% and print time by 80% in some cases. This efficiency lowers production costs and accelerates time-to-market.
Eiger is Markforged's cloud-based software for managing 3D printing workflows. Markforged Simulation integrates seamlessly into Eiger, allowing users to validate and optimize part designs directly within the platform. It automates complex analysis processes, making it easy to configure parts for strength, stiffness, and cost efficiency.
