What do you like best about Markforged?

Being able to print a part which is incredibly superior in strength, and it performs exceptionally, Markforged cannot be beaten. Doing our parts by creating prototypes and end-use parts from things such as continuous carbon fiber is the biggest thing that will revolutionize our design ever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Markforged?

Markforged printers are difficult and meticulous to satisfy with the feeds. This particular feature may, however, pose as the machine's setback since its materials offering of the filaments is still a bit compared to some other FDM printers. This can be a hassle when a project depending on some particular material is being made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Markforged solving and how is that benefiting you?

Markforged makes even my rough prototypes complete workpieces that couldn’t be made in FDM printing as well. Thus, it enables both extensive evaluations and confirmation of the design decisions, eliminating the possibility of going to the high scale with unlikely options. It brings us to a remarkable amount of savings in both time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Markforged?

The material is a tad pricey, Also the lack of compatible materials with different properties is somewhat of an annoyance.

A web app to monitor prints while away from the office would be helpful and could be done by a summer intern for crying out loud. (trying to use your mobile chrome browser to log into Eiger is giving me flashbacks from the early 90s internet)

It would also be helpful if you could pause the print at certain key features in your model if you wanted to use the system to overmold onto existing parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Markforged?

Markforged needs to constantly push the boundaries of technology. It hasnt quite met all my material requirements yet. The less user friendly nature of their tool, coupled with its interface and powerless design capabilities does not ensure operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Markforged?

Whenever I need assistance, their customer support team does not promptly provide help. The tools provided by cater to every function I require and while the customization options sometimes are intricate, to configure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Markforged solving and how is that benefiting you?

The lack of brand awareness surrounding their products. This makes it difficult for others to trust and invest in them. There is information about Markforgeds customer support services and, after sales assistance. This raises concerns regarding issues that arise during the purchasing process or post purchase.

What do you like best about Markforged?

This company impressed me from the moment I discovered them. I believe it was at SEMA. Working with an automotive engineering firm we often need to engineer parts without over-engineering them and 3D printing is a valuable source for us.

This company has particularly been on the cutting edge of technology and keeps us informed of current trends and new technologies though webinars, industry shows and informative emails. Their education and communication has been valuable in bridging the technology to my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Markforged?

The technology doesn't quite reach the level we need with some of the materials, but I know it's coming and Markforfed will likely be the first to let us know when it is attainable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Markforged solving and how is that benefiting you?

As an automotive engineering firm, we build and reengineer vintage and antique automobiles that often have obsolete parts. We most notably need 3D printing when testing the viability of parts that optimize modern technologies within vintage automotive applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Markforged?

While the printers are excellent in quality and part finish, the best part of owning a Markforged printer is the customer support. No printer is perfect, but when an issue does come up their support team is always quick to reply with exactly the solution needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Markforged?

If there's one aspect I do not like about Markforged printers it's the lack of configurability on their slicer program, Eiger. Most of the time the preconfigured settings work fine, but sometimes there are settings that need to be changed that can't be changed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Markforged solving and how is that benefiting you?

Markforged printers are allowing our graduate students to perform their research faster than ever before. The carbon fiber end-use parts they need can be printed in at most a few days, fast-tracking research and production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Markforged?

It is a platform like almost no other, with an innovative interface and a cutting-edge system. I can count on Markforged throughout the creative process, providing me with powerful tools that help to make an effective design of each prototype, amplify the image and remodel it facilitating 3D visibility and creative design in each manufacturing. It has a wide variety of options at the time of manufacturing and printing, for example the type of material such as onyx or metal, thus expanding my manufacturing possibilities, according to my needs, tastes or requirements. On the other hand, I am surprised at how fast it adapted to our work, it is a really simple tool to adjust, once configured and synchronized it is possible to use it with my work printer and adjusted to the cloud of my system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Markforged?

It is a simple tool to use, in an excellent way, it provides the right tools to make everything run smoothly and efficiently, with a robust interface and powerful design features. On the other hand, configuring it we believed would be more complicated, however, I provide the appropriate material so that the entire customization process is quick and easy. Along with this, customer support is very responsible in their assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Markforged:

Do not think twice, although not everyone knows about Markforged, I assure you that it is a great tool with a lot to give. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Markforged solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a simple tool, without so many complications of use but with great potential in its functionality. It was very useful to us when printing our 3D prototypes, optimizing all our printing and manufacturing options. It supports us in every process and provides us with a reliable and safe system, in addition to a variety of options, ease of use and speed in each job we do. In all respects, Markforged is an indispensable tool to make our work look quality and with a professional image, all of this but at a more affordable price.

What do you like best about Markforged?

I like the innovativeness of the software, something that almost no other software offers; also how incredibly easy it is to include it in my work system. The software allows me to design various prototypes quickly and dynamically, then create the main imagen and make it real through 3D priting, ehich I can do with great and economical materials, such as onyx, nylon and carbon, which are resistant and quality. I like how easy synchronize it to the cloud, whenever I need them. It has tools that cover every function you need to perform, it has a unique and innovative interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Markforged?

I have nothing to complain about, I don't find negative aspects, it seems to me that the design, creation and priting flow in a dynamic and bold way, making the whole process simple, although complex, it can make everything much easier and faster. Customer support is always there to answer any questions we have, it provides the best solutions. The tools are complete and cover every function we need, as well as hoy easy it is to configure and customize adapting everything to our work system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Markforged?

Markforged synonymous with strength, truthfulness and boldness, comes with all the irons in the support of the creation and manufacturing of 3D designs, assisting in everything that is possible in the design, image and structure process, until assembling the most incredible 3D prototype, with the best materials in the industry, resistant and quality, such as metal or carbon. It's possible to integrate it with the cloud of my work system, in this way I will always have my designs whenever I need it and also adapt it quickly to the printers of my preference to always carry out my work as comfortable as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Markforged?

Maybe it can be a bit complex to handle, to configue each and every one of the options according to my design requirements is not as simple as I imagine, it is always necessary to better develop the customization so that each prototype is unique and incomparable. I have tried as much as possible to detail each function that I develop with the software so that in this way everything I work on has my mark, if possible, but it is more complex that I expected. Thanks to the guides and tutorials every day it is easier to get by in the software and with the constant customer support, in the search dor quick solutions, the fluidity in my work is now less complex to obtain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Markforged:

If you need to create new designs and manufacture parts in 3D prototypes, Markforged is the right and ideal tools to develop this work soonthly and accurately. Do not think more and try it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Markforged solving and how is that benefiting you?

With the implementation of Markforged we achieve great goals never thought, its function is undoubtedly a solution to many design problems. Now we can design, create and manufacture all our prototypes from a single tool: Markforged, we now have a complete system in the development of 3D parts, we analyze each process and make the final result better and better, with the best quality. Every day we find a step up in all our designs, prototyping and commercialization of these, saving on costs and improving quality. It's a magical software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Markforged?

It is bold, it is what I like the most, it allows it to be included in the entire manufacturing process, from the beginning as the design, image and main prototype, to the manufacturing process and the design of each 3D piece.

It is possible to adapt and synchronize it to the cloud, send all 3D designs to my system, in this way I can always keep it stored anytime I need it.

In a simple way I can adapt it to the printers that I decide to use and to the work system of my preference.

It is a versatile software, it offers the possibility of using various products and manufacturing materials, from carbon fibers, nylon, metal, onyx among others; thus providing the ability to expand the capacities and varieties of design, strength and quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Markforged?

From the beginning, it was difficult to understand the use of each tool, the experience can be overwhelming if you do not have the knowledge to handle software with such high potential. However, it has been adjusted in an excellent way, now at the time of registration they send tutorials on the knowledge of 3D printing, in the same way that they always have an effective customer service available that helps to solve any question, in this way I have developed a better and new knowledge about the tool.
