Performance Advisor: the new Markforged tool for intelligent optimization of carbon fiber parts
Our partner Markforged, a leader in CFR additive manufacturing technology, recently unveiled a revolutionary update for its Eiger software: Performance Advisor.
This new feature transforms the design and manufacturing process for 3D printed parts, representing a major step forward in optimizing component strength.
Below, we will explore what makes Performance Advisor an indispensable tool for Markforged users, analyzing what it is used for, the benefits it offers, and how to use it effectively.
What is Performance Advisor used for?
Performance Advisor is designed to automate and simplify strength analysis of 3D parts, enabling users to maximize the effectiveness of their prints with ease. Currently focused on Markforged’s Onyx carbon fiber, this intelligent tool automatically analyzes part files saved on Eiger, providing recommendations for the optimal combination of strength, cost, and print time. This innovative approach takes the guesswork out of 3D printed part design, allowing designers and engineers to make informed decisions with greater confidence.
What advantages does it offer?
The added value of Performance Advisor manifests itself in a number of tangible benefits for the end user. Chief among them is the ability to automatically optimize parts for printing, ensuring optimal strength with minimal investment of time and resources.
This part use case-independent tool is distinguished by its flexibility, allowing broad applicability across various industries, including automotive and military. Key advantages include:
- Reducing analysis and design time, accelerating the product development process.
- Optimization of production costs by minimizing scrap material and making the best use of available resources.
- Improved quality of molded parts, through customized recommendations that ensure superior strength.
How is it used?
Using Performance Advisor is surprisingly simple and integrates seamlessly into the Eiger user interface.
After loading a part file into the software, Performance Advisor springs into action, performing an in-depth analysis to identify the most effective print settings. Users then receive a set of recommendations that can be applied with a single click, thus optimizing the part for printing without requiring advanced technical skills or detailed manual input. This guided process not only makes optimization accessible to all Markforged printer users but also ensures that decisions are based on solid data and accurate analysis.
In conclusion, the introduction of Performance Advisor offers users an unprecedented balance between durability, cost, and efficiency, and will prove to be an essential ally in their daily work with 3D printing.
