If you’ve been looking at Markforged printers, you’ve almost certainly come across Onyx filament. It’s the base material for most of what Markforged produces, and for good reason. Onyx is a chopped carbon fibre-reinforced nylon that prints with a better surface finish than most FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) materials and

Markforged offers two distinctive high-performance ranges for composite printing with carbon fibre reinforcement capabilities. The FX20 serves organisations seeking larger production capacity with aerospace-grade materials, while the X7 targets workshops needing precision parts within space constraints. Both printers use Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) as their base technology and reinforce builds
Comparing the Markforged FX20 and X7: Key Differences Read More »
The FX20 transforms manufacturing floors with high-temp engineering materials reinforced with continuous fibre. Continuous fibre reinforcement builds stronger, stiffer, and more durable parts than filled and unfilled plastics by reinforcing a part’s perimeter, select features, or entire layers with carbon fibre. The FX20 also prints ULTEM™ 9085 – a high-strength,

The Markforged Metal X offers an accessible and safe alternative to traditional powder-based metal printing and a complementary process to machining. Using bound powder extrusion technology, the Metal X enables the production of complex metal parts in materials ranging from stainless steel to copper without the hazards and costs associated
The Markforged Metal X: Innovative Industry Applications Read More »
Markforged printed parts can replace machined metal parts in packaging machinery, offering cutting-edge solutions for components. Advanced materials like Onyx and continuous fibre reinforcements—including carbon fibre, fibreglass, and Kevlar—allow for complex geometries and lightweight designs. Parts reinforced with composites can outperform traditional thermoplastics, including PEEK, for strength-to-weight ratio and durability.

Building metal components and models with a 3D printer is possible with two different technologies from Markforged. The first route into metal 3D printing is a variation of metal FFF called Bound Powder Extrusion (BPE) with the Metal X, which deposits plastic-bound metal filament in layers through a heated nozzle.
Fast Metal 3D Printing: Cut Costs And Time With Markforged Read More »
A 3D printer like the Markforged Mark Two, capable of printing nylon and Onyx parts reinforced with composites such as carbon fibre, fibreglass, or Kevlar, is a financially sensible investment for many commercial and industrial applications. The Markforged Mark Two allows for quick iteration and testing of prototypes using strong,
