Festo Increases Efficiency with 3D Printing

How Festo Transformed Manufacturing with Markforged 3D Printing Technology

In today’s fast-paced industrial landscape, innovation and efficiency are crucial for maintaining a competitive edge. Festo, a global leader in automation technology, has consistently been at the forefront of adopting cutting-edge solutions to enhance its manufacturing processes. One of the most significant advancements in recent years has been Festo’s integration of Markforged 3D printing technology into its production lines.

The Need for Speed and Flexibility in Manufacturing

The traditional manufacturing processes, while reliable, often involve lengthy lead times and higher production costs. In industries where time is a critical factor, such delays can hinder a company’s ability to meet customer demands. Festo recognized the need to modernize its production approach and turned to Markforged’s advanced 3D printing solutions to address these challenges.

Markforged’s technology enables the rapid production of parts with high precision and strength, reducing the reliance on outsourced components and minimizing downtime. This on-demand production capability allows Festo to swiftly respond to market changes and customer needs, ensuring they remain a leader in the automation industry.

Leveraging the Power of Continuous Carbon Fiber

One of the standout features of Markforged 3D printers is their ability to use continuous carbon fiber, a material known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. For Festo, this means producing components that are not only durable but also lightweight—an essential requirement in automation systems where reducing the load is critical for optimizing performance.

The introduction of carbon fiber into their manufacturing process has enabled Festo to innovate further, developing new products that are both stronger and more efficient. This advancement has opened up new possibilities for Festo, allowing them to explore applications that were previously considered too challenging or expensive.

The Benefits of 3D Printing in Industrial Automation

By adopting Markforged 3D printing technology, Festo has seen a substantial reduction in production costs and lead times. The ability to create complex parts in-house has also enhanced their design flexibility, allowing engineers to iterate quickly and bring new products to market faster than ever before. Furthermore, the reduced material waste and energy consumption associated with 3D printing align with Festo’s commitment to sustainable manufacturing practices.
