Case Study: Hugard Inc. achieves 25x faster and 14x lower-cost part catching with Markforged

Hugard Inc. boosts part catching 25x faster with Markforged

Hugard Inc., a manufacturer of precision turned parts, faced a challenge automating the collection of parts from their CNC lathe. The parts were complex and exposed to corrosive cutting fluid, making them unsuitable for CNC milling or conventional 3D printing. They turned to vendor Markforged for a solution.

Markforged provided the ability to 3D print uniquely robust and geometrically complex parts. This allowed Hugard Inc. to implement a custom automated gripping system that operates 24/7. The solution from Markforged resulted in a part that is 25 times faster to produce and at a 14 times lower cost, achieving massive savings.
