Phillips Machine Tools, a leading global manufacturing technology solutions provider collaborates with Markforged, creator of The Digital Forge, an integrated metal and carbon fibre industrial 3D printing platform. The addition of Markforged Digital Forge will strengthen Phillip Machine Tools additive manufacturing portfolio – metal & polymer powder beds, cold spray and direct energy deposition will get a performance boost.
In order to eliminate the barriers between design and functional parts, the cloud-based Digital Forge additive manufacturing platform of Markforged seamlessly combines hardware, software, and materials and develops strong, production-grade parts on demand.
"The collaboration of Phillips with Markforged proves advantageous to both the companies," says Shai Terem, CEO at Markforged. Markforged will be able to enjoy the vast network of Phillips Machine Tools, an additional distribution across the Americas and Asia. "Phillips Machine Tools commercial and federal government customers can now reinvent manufacturing and run more efficiently through the innovative offerings of Markforged", adds Mr. Terem.
As the Digital Forge is the only 3D printing platform to leverage machine learning, it creates parts cheaper, faster that are often equipped with better properties than traditional manufacturing methods. The platform will enable companies to manufacture and deliver quality parts in a completely new way to solve supply chain issues while saving time and money.
Alan M. Phillips, CEO of Phillips, commented, “Phillips Corporation is extremely delighted to be joining hands with Markforged and introducing our large base of commercial and federal government customers to the products of Markforged. This partnership gives us an opportunity to be leading contributors to the global additive manufacturing revolution. We are in a very exciting phase in the rapid evolution of additive manufacturing."
The ability of Digital Forge to seamlessly merge precise and reliable 3D printers with cloud-based learning software empowers manufacturers to create more resilient and agile supply chains. Compared to traditional solutions, the platform develops strong end-use parts directly at the point-of-need that are both cost-effective and time saving for manufacturers.
