Markforged Enhances CNC Workflows with Digital Forge


Tuesday 20 January 2026, 9:27:28 AM


Ellison Technologies is leading the way in optimizing manufacturing processes by integrating the Markforged Digital Forge with existing CNC workflows. This integration promises to overcome common bottlenecks in machining by introducing custom tooling solutions that boost overall efficiency.

Machining is a critical aspect of production, but traditional custom tooling often hampers productivity. The introduction of the Markforged Digital Forge aims to address this issue by allowing CNC machines to concentrate on high-value production tasks, while additive manufacturing manages the support tooling. This not only maximizes the utility of CNC machines but also streamlines the entire production process.

The Markforged Digital Forge is renowned for its industrial strength, thanks to continuous fiber reinforcement. This ensures that products maintain the stiffness and accuracy necessary for the demanding environment of the shop floor.

In addition to strength, the Digital Forge offers unmatched agility. It significantly reduces secondary costs and accelerates the production of inspection fixtures, delivering them in just days. This rapid turnaround time enables manufacturers to remain agile and responsive to market demands, maintaining a competitive edge.

Ellison Technologies is at the forefront of facilitating this transition, helping manufacturers find the ideal balance between traditional CNC and cutting-edge additive manufacturing solutions.

By providing the right tool at every stage of the manufacturing process, the Markforged Digital Forge offers a compelling advantage for shops aiming to enhance productivity without compromising on quality.

Ellison Technologies, with its expertise in advancing manufacturing processes, stands ready to support machinists in this innovative endeavor.
