Markforged FX20

The Beast of Additive Manufacturing

The Markforged FX20 is the largest industrial composite 3D printer in the Markforged range, designed for large-format, high-strength parts and demanding production applications.

With a heated build chamber, continuous fibre reinforcement and high-performance materials including ULTEM™ 9085 and Vega™, the FX20 gives manufacturers the capacity to produce larger functional components in-house.

It is suited to sectors such as aerospace, defence, automotive, oil and gas and advanced manufacturing, where part size, strength, heat resistance and repeatability are critical.

 

Why choose the Markforged FX20

The Markforged FX20 is built for manufacturers who need larger parts, higher-temperature materials and stronger composite performance than smaller industrial 3D printers can provide.

With a large heated chamber, ULTEM™ 9085 Filament capability and continuous carbon fibre reinforcement, the FX20 gives engineering and production teams a practical way to produce robust functional parts in-house.

Together, these features make the FX20 suitable for performance tooling, fixtures, large composite components and selected production applications.

Print larger composite parts

The Markforged FX20 build volume is one of its key advantages.

With a build volume of 525 × 400 × 400 mm, the FX20 allows manufacturers to print larger parts in one piece, reducing the need to split, bond or assemble components after printing. This is particularly useful for larger fixtures, production aids, tooling and components where part size has previously limited the use of additive manufacturing.

Produce high-performance parts with ULTEM™ 9085

The Markforged FX20 is capable of printing ULTEM™ 9085 Filament, a high-performance thermoplastic known for heat resistance, chemical resistance and flame, smoke and toxicity characteristics.

When reinforced with continuous carbon fibre, ULTEM™ 9085 enables the production of strong, lightweight composite parts for more demanding applications.

Built for high-temperature printing

The FX20 includes a heated build chamber capable of maintaining temperatures up to 200°C.

This controlled print environment helps support stable printing with high-performance materials and improves consistency when producing larger or more demanding parts.

The Digital Forge:
Powered by Software

The Markforged FX20 is powered by Eiger 3D printing software, a cloud-based platform designed for ease of use and scalability.

Eiger forms part of the wider Digital Forge platform, supporting the full workflow from part preparation to print management. It enables:

  • Centralised part storage and management
  • Consistent workflows across teams and sites
  • Remote monitoring and control of print jobs
  • Scalable deployment across multiple machines

This makes the FX20 suitable for single-machine use and also for manufacturers looking to expand additive manufacturing across departments or facilities.

Markforged Vega

Markforged VEGA 3D printing material sample part, manufactured with the FX20

VEGA is a new material developed for the additive manufacturing of aerospace components on the FX20.

This new carbon fibre filled PEKK is designed to save weight, cost and lead time by replacing aluminium and PEEK components in aerospace.

Vega is based on PEKK, an aerospace-proven material that offers excellent strength and rigidity.

ULTEM™ 9085

A 3D printed part created with the Markforged ULTEM 9085 material on the FX20

Ultra high performance PEI thermoplastic, compatible with carbon continuous fibres.

Compatible with

Onyx

Onyx (nylon/PA6 with micro-carbon fibres) is a technical thermoplastic. Onyx delivers rigid, strong and precise parts. On its own, the material is already 1.4 times stiffer than ABS and can also be reinforced with any continuous fibre.

Flexural strength 71 MPa
Bending modulus 3.0 GPa

Onyx FR

Onyx FR (nylon/PA6 with micro-carbon fibres) is a flame-retardant version of Onyx that has a thickness of 3 mm in accordance with UL94 V-0. With this new material, you can print applications where flammability plays a role.

Flexural strength 71 MPa
Bending modulus 3.6 GPa

Onyx ESD

Onyx ESD (nylon/PA6 with micro-carbon fibres) is a static dissipative, safe variant of Onyx that meets stringent ESD safety requirements while offering excellent strength, rigidity and surface finish.

Flexural strength 83 MPa
Bending modulus 3.7 GPa

Continuous fibres

The FX20 can reinforce suitable parts with continuous fibre, allowing engineers to add strength and stiffness where they are needed.

Compatible continuous fibres include carbon fibre, Fibreglass, Aramid fibre / Kevlar®, Carbon Fibre HT and Carbon Fibre FR™.

This gives engineering teams the ability to produce lightweight, strong and application-specific composite parts.

Continuous carbon fibre (long fibre)

Carbon fibre has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of all our reinforcing fibres. 6 times stronger and 18 times stiffer than onyx, carbon fibre is mainly used in parts that are intended to replace aluminium parts.

Flexural strength 540 MPa
Bending modulus 51 GPa

Fibreglass

Fibreglass offers high strength at an affordable price. It is 2.5 times stronger and eight times stiffer than Onyx and reinforces parts to provide strong and robust components.

Flexural Strength 200 MPa
Flexural Modulus 22 GPa

Compatible with

Kevlar® Fibre

Lightweight, durable and strong. Kevlar® has excellent durability. This makes it the optimal material for repeated and sudden loads. It is as stiff as Fibreglass, but much more stretchable, and is often used in gripper technology.

Flexural Strength 240 MPa
Flexural Modulus 26 GPa

Compatible with

HSHT Fibreglass

High Strength High Temperature (HSHT) Fibreglass has aluminium-like strength and temperature resistance. It is five times as strong and seven times as stiff as Onyx and best suited for use in high operating temperatures.

Flexural Strength 420 MPa
Flexural Modulus 21 GPa

Compatible with

Continuous carbon fibre FR

Carbon fibre FR was introduced to meet the needs of the aerospace, transportation and automotive industries to produce the strongest, lightest and safest parts ever.

Flexural strength 540 MPa
Bending modulus 50 GPa
