Markforged appoints Unotech as exclusive distributor in Hong Kong. Bringing Continuous Fiber Reinforcement (CFR) technology to local market, targeting aviation maintenance, electronics manufacturing, and medical devices launch event successfully held at Hong Kong Productivity Council. HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 24 September 2026 - Markforged, a leading provider of industrial additive manufacturing solutions, today proudly announced the official appointment of Unotech Limited ("Unotech") as its exclusive distributor in Hong Kong. Unotech will fully manage the sales, technical support, and application development for Markforged's product portfolio in the region, delivering comprehensive end-to-end support for local industries. The official launch event was held at the Inno Network of the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC). The event kicked off with an opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by executives from both companies, followed by the first live demonstration of Markforged's patented Continuous Fiber Reinforcement (CFR) technology. This breakthrough technology overcomes the material limitations of traditional 3D printing by precisely laying down continuous strands of carbon fiber, Kevlar, and high-strength, high-temperature fiberglass inside the part during printing. The resulting components match the strength and rigidity of machined aluminum, making them ready for quick use in manufacturing jigs, fixtures, robotic grippers, production tooling, and end-use functional parts. Local manufacturing and engineering units face pressing dual challenges: compressed lead times and a growing share of high-mix, low-volume orders. Custom manufacturing tools - such as fixtures, assembly jigs, inspection gauges, and automated grippers - are the hardest hit. Markforged's additive manufacturing platform effectively shifts production capabilities directly back to the facility floor. By enabling "print-on-demand" iterations right after design changes, it significant reduces traditional tooling lead times that usually stretch into weeks. For Hong Kong's manufacturing environment, characterized by limited space, high labor costs, and tight delivery schedules, this digital solution significantly leverages operational and clinical efficiencies. Leveraging Unotech's robust industrial technology network in Hong Kong, Markforged's advanced hardware and materials can be efficiently and reliably integrated across universities, research institutes, and manufacturing facilities. Backed by an in-house team of application engineers, Unotech provides on-site installation, professional training, and tailored application development to help clients shorten supply chains, reduce inventory, and enhance production resilience. Ivan Siu, Sales Director of Unotech Limited, stated: "We are deeply honored to partner with Markforged, a pioneer in industrial 3D printing. Combining Markforged's technological dominance with our local footprint, we are confident in delivering highly cost-effective, reliable, and innovative manufacturing choices to Hong Kong. Our dedicated technical team will focus on mission-critical industries, including aviation maintenance, electronics manufacturing, medical devices, and precision engineering. These sectors demand superior part strength and rapid turnaround times, which perfectly match the capabilities of CFR technology. We will continue to strengthen our local engineering capabilities to drive the long-term growth of Hong Kong's smart manufacturing ecosystem." Brian Chen, General Manager of Greater China and Vietnam at Markforged, added: "Hong Kong stands as a vital technology and trade hub within the Greater Bay Area, with a sophisticated customer base spanning multiple advanced manufacturing sectors. We chose Unotech as our exclusive partner because of their deep local technical expertise and comprehensive after-sales service network. An exclusive partnership concentrates accountability, ensuring our customers have a single, seamless point of contact for total peace of mind. Markforged will directly share our extensive repository of case studies and validated material data from the Greater China region with the Unotech team, empowering them to maximize operational efficiency for our medical, aviation, and precision engineering clients." | 1.

Markforged introduces Onyx GF chopped glass fibre-filled nylon material. Onyx GF is available immediately in red, yellow, blue, green, grey, and white, and will address the requirements of modern visual management systems, per Markforged. Published: June 16, 2026, 3:46 pm Markforged has introduced the Onyx GF chopped glass fibre-filled nylon material for users of the FX10 and FX20 material extrusion machines. The company says the Onyx GF material will provide users of the FX10 and FX20 machines with the ability to print in a range of colours, opening up applications such as colour-coded tooling, error-proofing fixtures, and safety indicators 'without sacrificing structural strength or stiffness.' Onyx GF is available immediately in red, yellow, blue, green, grey, and white, and will address the requirements of modern visual management systems, according to Markforged. Like existing Onyx materials, the Onyx GF also promises tensile strength, stiffness, surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and print reliability. Markforged says that because the functional colour is embedded directly within the material formulation, Onyx GF requires no secondary painting, label applications, or post-processing. The company also says that colour-coded tooling reduces assembly errors, bolsters 5S and visual management frameworks, and ensures operators readily identify which tool belongs to a specific process, part revision, or manufacturing line. "Bringing colour to the factory floor is about far more than aesthetics; it is about unlocking a new level of operational velocity, safety, and error-proofing for our customers," said Jon Bond, General Manager of FFF at Markforged. "Until now, manufacturers often had to choose between the industrial-grade performance of materials like Onyx or the use of brittle, weaker materials like ABS or PLA. With Onyx GF, we are removing that compromise entirely. We are delivering the same trusted mechanical foundation our users rely on every day, but with the immediate communication benefits that functional colour provides. This allows teams to scale visual management seamlessly across their entire enterprise." Markforged suggests that Onyx GF has application opportunities in aerospace and automotive, specifically for facilities operating Foreign Object Debris (FOD) prevention programs, and in the food, beverage, and pharmaceuticals sectors, especially in production facilities governed by rigorous zone segregation protocols. For advanced structural demands, Onyx GF parts can be reinforced with Continuous Carbon Fibre utilising Markforged's Continuous Fiber Reinforcement (CFR) process, providing aluminium-strength performance where needed.
