Printing material for Markforged 3D printers
Printing material for Markforged 3D printers
Base materials
Onyx delivers stiff, strong, and precise parts. It is 1.4 times stronger and stiffer than ABS and has an excellent surface finish. Nylon parts are flexible and impact-resistant. Onyx and nylon can each be reinforced with any Markforged continuous fiber.
Continuous fibers
The combination of base material and continuous fiber makes our printing materials incredibly strong and versatile. Our unique manufacturing process produces parts that are many times stiffer and stronger than typical 3D printed objects.
Metals
The combination of proven MIM (Metal Injection Molding) technology and our unique 3D printing platform ranges from prototyping to production using the same materials and processes.
Base materials (plastic matrix)
With Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), the printer heats the thermoplastic fiber until it almost reaches its melting point. The material is then applied layer by layer through nozzles, creating a plastic matrix. Markforged 3D printers print all thermoplastics using this method.
Composite materials (continuous fiber)
Continuous Filament Fabrication (CFF) is our unique and patented technology that significantly strengthens 3D-printed components using a continuous filament. Continuous fiber strands are laid within the thermoplastic matrix. The user decides which layers are reinforced. They also specify the amount of reinforcement needed, the direction in which the fibers should be arranged, and the type of material used. The goal of fiber-reinforced 3D printing is to produce components stronger than aluminum!
