A panel of judges comprised of industry peers and experts reviewed hundreds of applications before determining finalists for this years awards. Entries were graded on creativity, form, function and overall experience. As a finalist, Markforged will exhibit and demo the Onyx One during the Interactive Innovation Awards Finalist Showcase on Sunday, March 12 from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. CDT.
The Markforged Onyx One, which was introduced in November 2016, is a reliable desktop 3D printer with integrated cloud software, materials and hardware designed for professionals to create carbon fiber printed parts out of Markforgeds Onyx material. Onyx is a black filament made from combining tough nylon with micro-carbon reinforcement. Onyx parts, which have a striking carbon black finish, have twice the stiffness of nylon, high heat tolerance and enhanced stability. The Onyx One is ideal for a wide range of beneficial uses from prototyping and design, engineering education, to end-use applications within a finished product.
"Were honored to be a finalist for a SXSW Interactive Innovation Award," said Greg Mark, CEO. "Our printers like the Onyx One are designed to provide engineers and designers with access to strong parts with beautiful surface finish. Our customers tend to use Markforged parts in demanding applications and we're pleased to bring that level of strength to a more accessible price point."
