Description

3200cc spools are only compatible with the FX20. Due to their size and larger rotating mass, they are not compatible with desktop or X3/X5/X7 printers.

 

Onyx is a blend of nylon and shredded carbon fiber, providing a high-strength thermoplastic with excellent heat resistance, surface finish, and chemical resistance. Onyx serves as the thermoplastic matrix for Markforged's composite parts. It can be printed alone or reinforced with one of our continuous fibers to achieve strength comparable to aluminum. Onyx can be used for everything from tools and fixtures to end-use parts.

What is the difference between chopped carbon fiber and continuous fiber?

The chopped carbon fibers are blended into the Onyx filament, giving it high stiffness and strength. Continuous carbon fibers are reinforcement fibers that can be printed in long strands, creating composite parts that are up to 20 times stronger and stiffer than Onyx.
