Quantum, a crusher robot that chomps down on competitors with 35,000 lbs of force, printed 21 Markforged parts for their robot. Making your robot better on the fly is a major competitive advantage that can only be achieved with Markforged machines." When we found weak points in our design during the competition, we printed improved parts onsite. Will Bales, HyperShock captain, said, "Onyx parts provided us with cost savings, weight savings, and design flexibility you just can't get with any other manufacturing process – all while maintaining the performance we need in the BattleBox.
HyperShock, a vertical disk spinner robot, has more than 30 Markforged 3D printed parts. With a two-month build time and Markforged as a resource, we were able to bring our improved 2019 design to life effortlessly without the hours and expense of a normal machine shop." Leanne Cushing, Captain of the Valkyrie team, said, "We produced more than 200 Markforged 3D printed parts for Valkyrie in preparation for this season. € Valkyrie, an undercutter robot that's designed to damage the undercarriage of robots, has 55 parts printed from Markforged. Three teams that will be fighting in the first episode of BattleBots heavily leveraged Markforged printers: They produced tooling and fixtures during development, as well as prototypes for their designs. Markforged printers were used for end-use parts on the robots during filming, though several teams leveraged Markforged during the build season before filming. This decreased the fail rate of motors that were poorly mounted, and increased the reliability and the excitement level for the 2019 fights! We can't thank them enough." "In addition, Markforged created custom shock mounts for many robot motors. "Teams with broken bots were saved and able to fight again because of Markforged and their fantastic 3D printers," said Greg Munson, founder and executive producer of BattleBots Inc. With strict robot weight limits, Markforged 3D printers gave contestants the ability to create tough custom parts with the strength of aluminum at half the weight.

The printers allowed the teams to rapidly repair damaged robots, improve their performance during battles, and optimize their design against competitors in real time.īattleBots is a television series where teams design, build, and operate remote-controlled machines that fight in an elimination tournament.
As the only 3D printer company hosted by BattleBots during filming, Markforged produced more than 160 parts for 29 teams onsite - all within the two weeks of filming. WATERTOWN, MA - JMarkforged, the leading provider of metal and carbon fiber 3D printers, today announced that four of its 3D printers will be featured on BattleBots, a television series premiering on June 7th on the Discovery Channel and June 12th on the Science Channel.
