Efficient design verification and rapid prototyping of functional carbon fiber and metal components.

3D printing technology company Markforged is adding Precise PLA to its materials portfolio, enhancing the reliability of its digital forges.

Markforged, developer of Digital Forge, an integrated metal and carbon fiber additive manufacturing platform, announced today the addition of Precise PLA to its portfolio.

Precise PLA is Markforged's specialized version of PLA (Polylactic Acid), one of the most common prototyping materials in the additive manufacturing industry.

Precise PLA is available in eight colors and has been enhanced with an Eiger™ software update for enhanced capabilities in the Digital Forge.

Precise PLA enables you to handle every stage of product design, from design verification to end-use parts, through a digital forge platform.

Markforged said Precise PLA can leverage the same platform it uses to produce end-use parts in industries such as aerospace, automotive, defense, and medical.

“Our customers can count on consistent, smooth printing from the beginning to the end of their product lifecycle at Digital Forge,” said Shai Terem, CEO of Markforged. "We've been asked to provide affordable design verification materials," he said. "Digital Forge's growth hinges on customer satisfaction and the ability to expand its addressable market through the introduction of new features. The various new features introduced will broaden the range of solutions customers can solve with Digital Forge. Furthermore, its relatively low cost will allow it to be utilized more broadly in markets such as education and design services."
