Every FilamentFeed story on Markforged — news, reviews, and analysis, newest first.
Backflip AI, founded by former Markforged leaders Greg Mark and David Benhaim, has launched CAD Copilot, an AI tool that turns 3D scans into fully editable, parametric CAD models — and claims it cuts part-digitizing costs from $1,500 to about $10.
Read the story →The consolidator that swallowed Desktop Metal and Markforged has installed an interim CEO and a new chairman to finish dismantling the portfolio — and to steer the company out of additive manufacturing entirely.
Phillips Corporation folded its Additive Hybrid division into a new Advanced Manufacturing Solutions unit, betting that hybrid additive-subtractive, standalone AM, large-format robotic metal printing, and field-deployable manufacturing gear are converging into one business.
Markforged's new Onyx GF adds pigment-built-in color coding to its glass-fiber nylon, letting factory floors 3D print FOD-prevention tools and zone-segregation fixtures without painting or labeling a single part.
The furnace does the real work in bound-metal and ceramic printing. Here's how green parts become brown, then dense final parts—and why most makers ship the hard steps out.
Both add stiffness and reduce weight compared to base filaments. But GF and CF have different mechanical profiles, abrasion demands, and cost structures that make them suited to different tasks.
The additive manufacturing market surpassed $20 billion globally in 2025. This analysis breaks down market segments, growth drivers, polymer vs metal printing dynamics, and which applications are driving investment in 2026.
Stratasys has agreed to acquire Markforged — the continuous-carbon-fiber printing pioneer — for $42.5 million in an all-cash deal that folds a former Nano Dimension subsidiary into the additive giant. It is the clearest sign yet of consolidation in industrial 3D printing.
