Millworks Technologies has set up a centre of excellence for 3D printing with Markforged Holding Corporation, USA at its facility. The Centre houses seven machines in total, including industrial 3D printers, supporting post-processing systems and 3D scanning equipment. It is designed to enable rapid prototyping of carbon fibre composite and polymer components for aerospace and defence customers.
The Centre runs on Markforged’s Digital Forge platform, which connects industrial 3D printers, engineering-grade materials and enterprise software, so that parts can be produced on demand at the point of need. The company expects this to shorten development cycles considerably and to let it respond faster to customer requirements for new programmes. The Centre’s equipment includes the Markforged FX10 industrial composite printer, the Markforged Mark Two (Gen 2) continuous fibre printer, the Formlabs Form 4L and Form 4 resin printers with complete post-processing packages, a MetaForm 700 FDM large-format printer, and a 3DeVOK MT 3D scanner for reverse engineering and dimensional inspection.
Millworks Technologies is a precision engineering company, specializing in manufacturing machined components, sheet metal parts, and integrated assemblies for mission-critical applications across the railways, aerospace, defence, and semiconductor sectors. Its operations follow both Build to Print (BTP) and Build to Spec (BTS) engagement models, covering full-scope manufacturing and job-work assignments.
