The challenge

Markforged is a leading global player in the 3D printing sector. In 2019, the company was ranked #110 on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 list and has seen strong growth in the following years.

Markforged needed to humanise their advanced 3D printing technology and connect with a broader audience beyond traditional manufacturing sectors. The challenge was creating content that balanced technical innovation with human interest.
