Case Study: SDHQ speeds up R&D and cuts welding fixture costs with Markforged

SDHQ cuts welding fixture costs by 93% with Markforged

SDHQ Off-Road, a custom off-roading truck rack manufacturer, faced a time-consuming and error-prone R&D process. Their challenge was creating welded steel fixtures to hold products together during welding, a manual process that was slow, costly, and prone to quality issues like human error and corrosion. To address this, they turned to Markforged and implemented a Mark Two 3D printer using Onyx material.

By using Markforged 3D printing, SDHQ replaced their handmade steel fixtures with printed ones. This solution eliminated manual labor, improved fixture effectiveness, and removed problems like corrosion. The results were a 99% faster process and a 93% lower cost, allowing SDHQ to greatly expedite their R&D process and produce more reliable fixtures.
