STS Additive Manufacturing
STS Additive Manufacturing has partnered with Markforged, The Virtual Foundry, and BigSystems to provide our clients with the best technology, the highest-quality materials, and the most advanced 3D printers available.
With the Markforged and Formlabs line of 3D printers, our customers can create high-performance parts using advanced materials such as Onyx, Kevlar, fiberglass, metal, and a growing range of resins.
Explore the section below to learn more about the Markforged and Formlabs printers used by STS Additive Manufacturing. And don’t miss the Markforged video for an inside look at the experts behind some of the best 3D printers in the world.
Crisp, precise features: A high-power-density laser passes through a spatial filter to ensure a clean and accurate laser spot for superior detail.
Consistent, high-quality printing: A parabolic mirror directs the laser perpendicular to the build plane, maintaining uniform print quality across the entire platform.
Enhanced part clarity: LFS technology improves layer registration and surface finish, allowing translucent materials to print clearer than ever—straight from the printer.
