The Markforged Mark X is the most powerful 3D printer on the market. With industrial-scale printing of incredibly strong parts and first ever precision sensing systems, the Mark X is destined to be the must-have printer for every manufacturer.
Markforged is excited to announce the launch of the industry’s most powerful fiber composite 3D printer, the Mark X. In addition to a large print volume, the Mark X introduces a set of breakthrough print capabilities that include in-process laser inspection as well as a fine (50 micron) surface finish to make this one of the most powerful, precise, and unique 3D printers on the market today.
The printer enables measurable and beneficial breakthroughs in manufacturing, design, and now supply chain by printing precise, fully usable, and remarkably strong reinforced parts with innovative materials – all on itscloud-based networked software platform.
“We have taken a different path from most of the 3D printing industry with innovation that will create a new bottom line benefit for many manufacturers” says Greg Mark, CEO and founder. “We already had success with the breakthrough strength and light weight of continuous carbon fiber in our Mark Two printer – now we added in-process inspection for exact dimensional accuracy, high resolution beautiful surface finish, and scale to open entirely new segments of the industry to efficiencies of what printing can accomplish.”
Markforged’s Mark X builds on the success of its existing unique technology and materials available in the Mark Two, but adds a leap in capability and scale for fiber-reinforced printing of precision parts. A commitment to innovative materials for quality, strength, and weight as well as ease of use and powerful software remains at the core of the Markforged mission. With new in-process inspection for dimensional accuracy, the Mark X gives engineers and designers the ability to close the loop on production and ensure printed parts are exactly as designed. A laser sensor affixed to the print head will scan parts at any layer designated in order to measure whether your most critical tolerances are met – all controlled by the award winning Markforged Eiger software. In addition, the Mark X includes a high precision build plate, encoders on the print head for high accuracy, silent stepper motors, and a high stiffness Z-axis motor all for a high degree ofpart quality.
Engineers, manufacturers, and designers looking to print incredibly strong and highly precise parts for robotics,automotive parts, molds, prosthetics, athletic equipment, and other industrial applications will find the Mark X not only the must-have printer for their needs but also a replacement for both inventory and costly, time consuming metal machining processes. The build volume is 330mm, 250mm, 200mm (X, Y, Z) while the footprint of 575mm, 467mm, and 928mm (X, Y, Z) allows the printer to still fit neatly in a shop or office. The networked printers with Eiger software – a Google Chrome-based cloud solution – allow operations managers to oversee and monitor multiple printers concurrently, bringing a new capability to customized and scaled manufacturing.
“For over a year many of my customers have been interested in a Markforged 3D printer with a larger build volume,” says Daniel Held, CEO of Coffee GmbH – a value-added reseller of Markforged in Germany. “The combination of a large build size, in-process inspection, composite reinforcement, and the continued reliability and robustness that has become synonymous with Markforged 3D printers is a powerful solution. For companies looking for a way to speed up product lead times or increase bandwidth for revenue generating partswithout taking on an expensive total cost of ownership, the Mark X is a must-have.”
Earlier this year, Markforged received a Series B funding of $20M from Matrix Partners, Trinity Ventures, and Northbridge Venture Partners and has been shipping products since 2014 to customers in over 50 countries worldwide.

This year Rigol and Emona celebrate our 10th year anniversary as a partnership supplying test and measuring instruments in Australia in New Zealand. Pictured are John South, Emona’s Test & Measurement Product Manager and Rigol’s Mark Wu, Regional Sales Manager, presenting Emona with Rigol’s 10th Year Anniversary Award.
Established in 1998, Rigol have grown rapidly to become a worldwide leader in high performance yet affordably priced test and measuring instruments. Emona was fortunate to be one of Rigol’s first export customers and we immediately made an impact on the Australian and New Zealand markets with the release of the DS5000 series which featured an astounding 1GS/s sampling rate. While a 1GS/s sampling rate is common on entry level oscilloscopes these days, this was an extraordinary specification and was the first time a manufacturer outside of Europe or USA had managed to achieve such sampling rate performance.
Rigol continued to dominate the local oscilloscope market with the release of the DS1000E series in 2008. Again leading the market, Rigol’s DS1000E series were the world’s first affordable first colour screen and 1GS/s sample rate oscilloscopes. With almost 2,500 units supplied locally, the DS1000E series are now legendary and one of the most popular oscilloscopes in Australian test and measurement history.
Rigol have continued to excite the market with product releases that bring high performance within reach of everyday instrument users including the DS6000 series 1GHz bandwidth oscilloscopes, DSA-800 series spectrum analysers up to 7.5GHz and the DS1000Z 4 channel oscilloscopes and mixed signal oscilloscopes.
The Emona TIMS team recently visited 3 of China’s largest cities to conduct seminars promoting the Emona TIMS telecommunications training system.

Emona TIMS is a hardware, ‘hands-on’ experimental system, used by students to carry out laboratory experiments in the university/college lab or from home.
TIMS fulfils the needs of the practical component of courses in COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS THEORY, SIGNALS & SYSTEMS, SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO, DSP, FIBER OPTICS and STUDENT PROJECTS. Topics covered range from the basic introduction to telecommunications theory through to the latest telecommunications technology.
TIMS allows students to discover and learn about CONCEPTS, IDEAS, THEORIES and MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS in telecommunications, with actual hands-on work, by manipulating real signals. This practical approach for carrying out theoretical experiments is unique.
Emona is proud to announce the successful installation and commissioning of an Armfield S6MkII Glass Sided Tilting Flume at South Cross University. At 10 meters in length, this is a major piece of research and teaching equipment for the Hydraulics Laboratory and will firmly establish SCU as a major facility of its type in Australia.
Armfield has been designing and supplying open channel facilities (sometimes referred to as flumes) to hydraulic laboratories throughout the world for over 50 years. The S6MkII is a self-contained glass sided tilting flume for fluid mechanics laboratory experiments, project work and research activities. The flume supplied to SCU has has a 10m working channel length. The flume cross-section is 300mm wide by 450mm deep.
A fabricated high precision stainless steel bed provides excellent strength and rigidity, eliminating the need for a separate under frame. No adjustments other than the jacking stations are necessary in order to set up and maintain the equipment, achieving typical bed deformations better than 1mm.
Each flume incorporates a discharge tank fitted with an adjustable overshot weir and draught tube to avoid splashing and noise. An electro-magnetic flow meter is incorporated as standard.
