With the Markforged and Formlabs line of 3D printers, our customers can print products using advanced materials such as Onyx, Kevlar, fiberglass, metal and a growing variety of resins. Interact with section below to learn about the Markforged and Formlabs printers owned and operated by STS Additive Manufacturing. And be sure to check out the video from Markforged and get to know the people that engineer some of the best 3D Printers in the world!
Crisp, clean features: The high-power-density laser is passed through a spatial filter to guarantee a clean laser spot.
Consistent printing: A parabolic mirror ensures that the laser prints perpendicular to the build plane, ensuring uniform print quality across the entire build platform.
Improved part clarity: With LFS technology’s improved layer registration and surface finish, translucent materials print clearer than ever, right off the printer.
