The Markforged FX10 – Industrial 3D Printer

The Markforged FX10 is a next-generation industrial composite 3D printer, designed to produce strong parts in manufacturing environments. Building on the success of the Markforged X7, its purpose is simple: to help manufacturers produce robust, production-ready components.

The Markforged FX10 stands apart from many industrial 3D printers because it can produce both composite and metal parts using a filament-based process. This gives manufacturers greater flexibility when producing tooling, fixtures, replacement parts and functional components in-house.

The FX10 also features automatic calibration and material changeover, resulting in a simple, low-touch user experience suited to real production environments.

Why choose the Markforged FX10

The Markforged FX10 is built for manufacturers who need strong parts without long lead times, complex workflows or unnecessary operator involvement. It combines continuous fibre reinforcement, optional metal printing, automated calibration and Eiger 3D printing software in a single industrial platform.
Together, these features make the FX10 suitable for producing tooling, fixtures, replacement parts and functional components in-house.

3D print high-strength parts

The Markforged FX10 produces composite parts that can be stronger than aluminium when reinforced with continuous carbon fibre. For applications that require higher strength, wear resistance or specific stainless steel properties, the FX10 can be configured for metal printing with the optional Metal Kit. This allows manufacturers to choose the right process for the part, rather than relying on a single material or production method.

Designed for repeatable production

The FX10 is designed to reduce variation between prints, operators, and production runs. Supported by simulation and inspection software, the FX10 enables the production of components that meet the requirements of the factory floor, not just the prototype stage.

Scale from one machine to wider production

The Markforged FX10 operates within the Digital Forge, Markforged’s additive manufacturing platform. This includes intuitive software, training and integrated costing tools. For many manufacturers, the return comes from reducing outsourced machining, shortening tooling lead times and improving access to parts when they are needed. The FX10 can also be scaled across teams, machines and facilities as additive manufacturing becomes more established within the business.

The Digital Forge:
Powered by Software

The Markforged FX10 is powered by Eiger™, 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 FX10 suitable for single-machine use and also for manufacturers looking to expand additive manufacturing across departments or facilities.

Built for reliable production

The Markforged FX10 is designed to deliver consistent results with minimal operator intervention. For production teams, this helps reduce variation between users, shifts and print runs. The system combines controlled build conditions, automated material handling and integrated inspection features to support reliable part production.

Image Processing Module and Laser Micrometer*

To support inspection and calibration, the Markforged FX10 includes two optical sensors mounted on the print head.

  • The Laser Micrometre Inspector checks layer dimensions for print validation and machine calibration.
  • The Vision Module captures detailed images to scan parts and optimise printer performance.

Please note: The Image Processing Module will be delivered as a free upgrade shortly after initial release.

Vacuum Sealed Print Bed

The Markforged FX10 features a large build chamber heated to 60°C, supporting stable, high-quality printing.
The vacuum-sealed aluminium print bed is also heated and includes precision grooves that are scanned to the micrometre level for calibration. This helps maintain a controlled print environment, particularly when producing larger or more dimensionally critical parts.

Modern Material Storage with Automatic Changeover

An internal material cabinet stores four spools in individually sealed compartments and supports automatic material changing and rapid loading. This reduces operator involvement and helps maintain consistent material performance during longer print runs.

Metal 3D printing with the Markforged FX10

While the Markforged FX10 prints composite parts as standard, its optional Metal Kit extends the system into stainless steel part production.

Unlike powder-based metal systems, the FX10 uses metal 3D printing filaments. This makes the process easier to integrate into existing manufacturing environments while still giving teams access to functional metal components.

The FX10 Metal Kit allows manufacturers to print:

  • 17-4PH stainless steel
  • 316L stainless steel

Once printed, metal parts go through debinding and sintering to achieve their final properties. This makes the FX10 a practical option for manufacturers that want to bring selected stainless steel applications in-house, without moving to a powder-based metal system.

Materials available

The Markforged FX10 supports a focused range of engineering materials, allowing manufacturers to select the most appropriate option for each application. This includes materials for strength, flame resistance, static dissipation, food-safe environments and stainless steel performance.

Composites

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 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

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

Reinforcement

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

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

Metals

1.4542 Stainless steel

1.4542 (17-4) stainless steel combines high strength, corrosion resistance and hardness and is therefore widely used in the aerospace, medical and petroleum industries. It is very popular for assembly devices and tools.

316L Stainless steel

1.4404 (316L Stainless Steel) stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel used in the food and beverage, marine and manufacturing industries.
