SEAFARING PARTS — MARTAC uses Markforged to print water intakes for autonomous aquatic vehicles. VITAL COOLING — Each intake pulls seawater from outside the vehicle and uses it to cool the motors. UNIQUE SHAPE — By using Onyx, MARTAC can design a geometrically complex, highly functional part. MASSIVE SAVINGS — MARTAC prints intakes 30x cheaper and 18x faster with Markforged technology. SEAWATER INTAKE MARKFORGED APPLICATION SPOTLIGHT MARKFORGED.COM SPECIALIZED GEOMETRY By 3D printing this part, MARTAC can create a complex, custom geometry that doesn’t need to conform to subtractive machining constraints. OCEAN READY Onyx’s nylon base material allows the intake to survive the corrosive seawater while also being robust enough to sustain debris impacts. MACHINED MARKFORGED SAVINGS Fa
