Why You Shouldn’t Wait for the New Year to Invest in 3D Printing

With the year coming to a close, many manufacturing companies are tempted to hold off on large purchases until the next fiscal year. However, when it comes to investing in Markforged 3D printers, waiting could cost your business more than you think.  

Here’s why acting now—before the new year—could be the most strategic move for your company… 

Capitalize on Immediate Efficiency Gains 

Why wait to start improving your manufacturing processes when Markforged 3D printers can deliver immediate results? By purchasing now, you’ll begin seeing efficiency boosts in production before the new year even starts. 3D printing on-demand parts, fixtures, and tools will streamline operations, reduce downtime, and empower your team to innovate faster. 

Faster Prototyping
Get functional prototypes in hours, not weeks.

Production Flexibility 
Print tools, jigs, and fixtures in-house, customized to your needs. 

Avoid Supply Chain Delays 
In-house 3D printing reduces dependency on external suppliers. 

The sooner you implement Markforged solutions, the faster you’ll start benefiting from improved operational efficiency. 

Get a Competitive Edge for the New Year

The sooner you implement Markforged solutions, the faster you’ll start benefiting from improved operational efficiency. 

Start Innovating Now 
Bring new products to market faster with rapid prototyping. 

Improved Product Quality 
Markforged’s durable, high-strength materials allow you to create parts that meet stringent manufacturing standards. 

Speed Up Time to Market 
Get ahead of your competition by reducing design and production lead times. 

Avoid Price Increases or Supply Delays

The start of a new fiscal year often brings price adjustments, whether due to increased demand, inflation, or supply chain challenges. By purchasing now, you lock in current pricing and ensure your order isn’t delayed by the year-end rush or post-holiday backlogs. Waiting until the new year could mean higher costs or longer lead times. 

Price Security 
Avoid potential price increases for machines, materials, and services. 

Beat the Rush 
Get ahead of other companies that will be placing orders at the start of the new fiscal year. 

Avoid Supply Chain Bottlenecks 
Ensure your production capabilities are in place without the risk of delays.

Maximize Year-End Tax Deductions

Investing in capital equipment like Markforged 3D printers before year-end can offer significant tax advantages. Many manufacturing companies can deduct equipment purchases as a business expense, allowing you to reduce your taxable income and keep more cash in the business. 

Immediate Tax Benefits 
Deduct your Markforged investment as a business expense for the current fiscal year. 

Section 179 Savings 
If your company qualifies, you can write off a large portion of the equipment cost, saving on taxes for the current year. 

By acting now, you can make your available budget work harder for your business. 

Prepare for New Year Demand

The new year often brings increased demand as manufacturing ramps up to meet production goals, and it’s crucial to have your tools ready to meet that challenge. Investing in a Markforged 3D printer now means your team will be fully trained and equipped to meet higher demands in the coming months. 

No Learning Curve Delays 
Get your team trained and comfortable with the technology before production increases. 

Stay Agile and Adaptable 
Be ready to scale your operations with the flexibility of in-house 3D printing. 

Ensure Continuous Improvement 
Use the final months of the year to fine-tune processes, so you’re ready to hit the ground running in the new year. 

Don’t Wait – Act Now and Position Your Business for Success

The time to invest in Markforged 3D printing technology is now, not later. By purchasing before the year’s end, you can reap immediate rewards in efficiency, stay ahead of the competition, and maximize your year-end budget—all while preparing for a strong start in 2025.
