3D PRINT BUREAU LAUNCH - MARKFORGED
Markforged are the most popular printer in the USA and Australia for heavy industrial applications, such as machine shop work holding, mining and defence components.
In the early days of the 70s and 80s, our business was built on the back of supporting local industry, urgent repairs and maintenance for factories and manufacturers. However as our business has grown and shifted to a production focus in the last few years, we've found one off prototypes and 'jobbing' services disruptive. What production shop wants to break down a smooth running 5 axis production run, to make a one off urgent component?
However in today's market international access to timely supply of critical spare parts has reached crisis point. The Markforged carbon fibre composite X7 and MetalX steel, tool steel and copper capabilities provide fast strong replacement components to industry. Returning us to our traditional roots servicing industry - but with a modern process.
We're stoked to be chosen as Markforged's exclusive Print Bureau service in New Zealand. A partnership that recognises United's position as a machine shop at the forefront of industry's shift to advanced manufacturing technology.
