DEFENCE INDUSTRY 45
 REINVENTING GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS
 LAST month ADM was privileged to at- tend the factory walkthrough tour of Retrocast, hosted by SFDesign, the Aus- tralian owned and operated distributor of Markforged printers. This showcase high- lighted how 3D printing and on-premise manufacturing is a significant key part in modern manufacturing – and even more so in a COVID-19 world. Restrictions on imports and limited suppliers have given Australians a glimpse into the daily issues our defence industry faces, and companies like Markforged and SFDesign are in a po- sition to offer solutions.
SFDesign is uniquely positioned as Aus- tralia’s Additive Manufacturing Experts, offering Design for Additive Manufac- turing Services, and Sale and Support of Markforged 3D Printers to WA and Queensland. SFDesign has experience in both Design for Additive Manufacturing and Best Practices for 3D Printing. Along- side our offering of 3D printers, we are able to provide Education & Consultation, Design Services and Temporary Staff for Complex Design Problems.
Reinventing global supply chains can be tackled with a number of approaches us- ing Markforged products;
Additive Manufacturing. Allows for the operator to setup the part and then leave unattended, thus releasing resources and avoiding fatigue, tool changes, material wastage and machine
expertise required in traditional sub- tractive manufacturing.
Distributed Manufacturing. The flex- ibility to spread print jobs over multiple machines to reduce risk of print failure and increase part productions.
Multiple Component Manufacturing. Ability to spread different component de- signs over the build plate allowing for re- duced setup times and machine down time.
Why Markforged?
• Full Range of Material Capabilities. The
only company offering technology in plastics, composites, and metals to serve all of your needs.
• Industrial Strength. Only Markforged offers a patented continuous fiber pro- cess to produce strong parts quickly and at a low cost.
• Best-in-Class Accuracy. High resolu- tion printing in both layer height (50 microns) and x/y accuracy (50 – 125 mi- crons depending on technology)
• Quality Control. Only Markforged of- fers on-board laser micrometer technol- ogy (X7) for closed-loop calibration.
• World Class Reliability. 3rd Party cus- tomer reports 199 of 200 (99.5 per cent) print success rate.
