The Markforged FX10 – 5th Generation Industrial 3D Printer

The FX10 is Markforged’s next-generation industrial composite 3D printer – the result of years of engineering innovation and technological advancement. Building on the success of the Markforged X7, its sole purpose is to deliver strong, precise parts every time you print.

The FX10 features a new modular architecture designed for upgradeability and printhead-mounted optical sensors that inspect part dimensional accuracy and device health and performance. It utilizes automatic calibration and material changing, resulting in a simple, easy, low-touch user experience that meets the needs of operators.

Create mechanically resilient components on demand

The Markforged FX10 can print continuous carbon fibre reinforced components for a wide range of production applications. This helps manufacturers accelerate time to market, reduce manufacturing and inventory costs, and reduce the risk of production downtime.

Print the right component, every time

Every aspect of FX10 – from its motion system to the software that controls it – is designed to reliably deliver precise, stable parts. Supported by simulation and inspection software, the FX10 can produce tested parts that meet strict requirements on the factory floor.

Achieve ROI quickly, then upscale

The FX10 works with Digital Forge: Markforged’s additive platform, which offers intuitive device and desktop software, training and integrated costing. You can generate ROI from day one and easily expand to additional teams, machines and facilities.

The Digital Forge:
Powered by Software

Markforged offers a simple, intelligent, and scalable additive manufacturing platform that fits seamlessly into your manufacturing operations. Our Eiger™ software is designed to scale, providing a unified user experience, digital parts storage and fleet management across the entire Markforged portfolio, including the FX10

Image Processing Module and Laser Micrometer*

The FX10 has two optical sensors mounted on the print head. The Laser Micrometer Inspector, which checks layer dimensions for print validation and machine calibration, and the new Vision Module which uses detailed images to scan parts and optimize printer performance.

*The Image Processing Module will not be delivered with the first FX10 devices, but will be sent as a free upgrade package shortly after market launch.

Vacuum Sealed Print Bed

The Markforged FX10 features a large build chamber that can be heated to 60°C, ideal for printing high-quality parts at rapid speeds. The vacuum-sealed aluminium print bed is also heated, and has precision grooves that are scanned to the micrometre by the laser for calibration.

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 of spools, minimising the need for user intervention.

Metal 3D printing with the Markforged FX10

Markforged’s latest development: The world’s first industrial 3D printer for composites and metals

The Markforged FX10 has received a major upgrade today.

The new FX10 Metal Kit opens up a whole new world of possibilities – including 316L stainless steel. The FX10 prints composites as standard. Metal printing is possible with an optional expansion kit that is compatible with all FX10 printers.

After printing the parts, they still need to be debinded and sintered.

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

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

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.
