Auto Control Systems , one of Western Australia’s leading full-service electrical engineering and automation firms, is proud to announce it has been appointed the exclusive WA distributor for Markforged, the global leader in industrial composite and metal 3D printing solutions.
The partnership brings Markforged’s advanced additive manufacturing technology — including continuous fibre reinforcement, industrial-grade composites, metal printing systems, and high-performance software — to organisations across Western Australia. With ACS’s extensive engineering capability and strong industry footprint, WA businesses will now have local access to Markforged products, expertise, support and in-person demonstrations.
Through this collaboration, ACS will supply, integrate and support the full Markforged portfolio, including the FX series, X7, X7 Field Edition, Metal X System, FX20 and the newly launched PX100 resin platform.
Driving innovation across WA’s industrial sector
Speaking about the partnership, John Watts, Managing Director of ACS, said:
“Markforged is a globally recognised leader in industrial 3D printing, and partnering with them is a major step forward for our customers. WA businesses are under increasing pressure to reduce lead times, improve reliability and bring more manufacturing capability in-house. Markforged’s technology directly supports that shift. We’re excited to provide local access, support and engineering expertise that will help our clients transform the way they design, build and maintain critical parts.”
Richard Elving, Vice President, Asia-Pacific at Markforged, said:
“We are delighted to welcome Auto Control Systems as our exclusive distributor in Western Australia. ACS has built a strong reputation for technical excellence, engineering depth and long-term customer partnerships — qualities that align perfectly with Markforged’s vision for industrial adoption of additive manufacturing. This collaboration strengthens our footprint in Australia and ensures WA organisations have world-class local support as they incorporate advanced 3D printing into their operations.”
Supporting WA’s manufacturing, mining, energy and defence sectors
With ACS’s extensive experience across mining, oil and gas, manufacturing, defence, logistics and food & beverage, the partnership will bring additive manufacturing directly into environments where:
- downtime is costly
- supply chain delays disrupt production
- remote operations require rapid, on-site replacement parts
- tooling and fixtures must be produced quickly
- prototypes and engineered components require high strength and accuracy
Markforged’s technology is already used globally by leaders in aerospace, automotive, energy and defence — and will now be fully supported at the local level by ACS’s engineering, integration and service teams.
In-person demonstrations now available
