About Markforged
Markforged was founded by an MIT aerospace engineer – the kind of person who loves pushing the envelope. After years of designing and manufacturing high-performance composite race car wings at Aeromotions, Greg Mark realized that he could use 3D printing hardware to automate the composite lay-up process. He assembled a team of the best and brightest, and Markforged was born.
Markforged started with a vision: Empower engineers to create strong-as-metal, finished parts using the right materials for the job - and remove the multiple barriers between design and a final product. We are overturning not only the 3D printing industry but also many traditional manufacturing methods giving our customers unprecedented cost, time and efficiency savings.
