Phillips Machine Tools Hosts India’s First Live ‘Markforged Demo Day’ at its Pune and Bengaluru Labs

Pune/Bengaluru, India – Phillips Machine Tools, a provider of industrial additive manufacturing systems, recently hosted India’s first ‘Markforged Demo Day’ at the Phillips Additive Labs in Pune and Bengaluru. For the first time, the Markforged 3D printers were on display ‘live’ at this event. The Mark-2, an industrial desktop printer, and Metal X, a metal 3D printer for functional metal parts, as well as Washer and Sintener, were on display in the Pune lab, while the Mark 2 & X7, a turnkey industrial 3D printer for functional parts, were on display in the Bengaluru lab.

Over 100 customers from well-known companies attended the Demo Day at Phillips Additive Labs in Pune and Bengaluru. It was a good opportunity for customers to see a live demonstration of Markforged 3D printers and to have their questions about additive manufacturing and its various applications answered. Customers and the company can both benefit from such Live Demo Days, which allow them to explore opportunities for collaboration and faster business growth.

Anuj Budhiraja, Country Head, Markforged, commented, “This was a great event, extremely well executed by the Phillips Team. We are thankful to all the people who visited and appreciated the technology. The excitement and curiosity of the people seeing AM technology making its way into manufacturing applications were evident. They also saw the application of end-use parts and composite 3D-printed parts, replacing metal parts for high-strength parts. We see huge potential and phenomenal growth in the Indian manufacturing sector with the adoption of Markforged solutions at a very high speed towards meeting their needs of tools, jigs, fixtures, end-use parts, and replacement spare parts."

Thanking the company’s valued customers for coming out to the Demo Day and gracing the occasion, Sumeet Bengeri, Business Head, Phillips Additive, said, “Post the pandemic, this has been the first offline Demo Day, which was extremely successful with prospective customers visiting our facility to witness the latest technological machines in a live demonstration.”

Against this backdrop, Parag Nanavaty, Founder and CEO, ForeKen Technology, Ahmedabad, asserted, “Such Demo Days are an excellent opportunity to see the actual demonstration of the 3D printers – Markforged Mark 2 and Metal X. This live demonstration has been able to answer the multiple queries that people would have about the two printers, as well as the latest technologies employed. The presence of experts to explain and address all the queries to their satisfaction was an added benefit.”
