Mark3D UK to showcase Markforged FX20 and MetalX systems at MACH 2026

Mark3D UK will present a comprehensive suite of additive manufacturing and 3D scanning technologies at the MACH 2026 exhibition. The demonstration lineup includes Markforged industrial FFF/FDM printers such as the FX20, FX10, Mark Two, and X7, alongside the MetalX metal additive system. The showcase also integrates Artec 3D scanning hardware, specifically the Artec Leo and Artec Spider II, to demonstrate a closed-loop digital workflow from design capture to part production.

This exhibition highlights the convergence of high-performance composite printing and metrology, a critical requirement for industrial end-use applications. By featuring the FX20, which utilizes carbon fibre-reinforced polymers, and the MetalX system, Mark3D UK is positioning its portfolio to compete directly with established industrial polymer and metal AM providers in the UK and European markets. The integration of Artec scanners addresses the industry demand for rapid reverse engineering and inspection, bridging the gap between physical component digitization and additive manufacturing of functional tooling and fixtures. This approach targets the manufacturing sector's need for reduced lead times in producing lightweight, structurally robust parts that serve as alternatives to traditional CNC machining.

For manufacturers, the value lies in the ability to execute a seamless transition from scanning a legacy part to printing a reinforced replacement using Onyx or continuous carbon fibre. Success for Mark3D UK will depend on demonstrating the repeatability of the FX10's built-in inspection capabilities and the scalability of the FX20 for larger industrial components. Buyers should evaluate these systems based on their ability to integrate into existing quality management workflows and their total cost of ownership compared to traditional subtractive methods.
