Markforged 3D Printer X3

Markforged X3 is the refined Industrial FFF 3D printer for carbon fiber-filled nylon parts.

The Markforged X3 merges industrial quality and build volume into a benchtop form factor, bringing accessible FFF composite 3D printing to your manufacturing floor.

In addition to traditional nylon, print with Onyx, Onyx ESD, or Onyx FR, advanced micro carbon fiber filled nylon materials are designed to produce strong, reinforced parts.

Design your part, upload it into Eiger browser-based software, select a Composite Base filament, and hit print. It’s that simple.

What features do you get with X3?

Markforged industrial carbon fiber 3D printers offer micron-level laser scanning for closed-loop calibration, reliably yielding parts with high repeatability and near-perfect surface finish.
A reinforced, precision-machined gantry and a precision ground print bed that can be removed and replaced with 10um repeatability.

Each piece of hardware in the filament extrusion system, from the nozzles to the extruder hobs, is optimized to resist wear from micro carbon fiber-filled nylon filaments and maintain print quality over thousands of hours.

Out of material sensors ensure that you’re always printing while a scanning laser on the printhead enables the printer to dynamically adjust the first layers of a print to achieve ideal bed adhesion.
Print in a wide variety of print modes all optimized to yield quality parts including 50 μm resolution, which delivers ultra-high-quality parts without visible layer lines.

Onyx

The go-to Markforged composite for printing accurate parts with a smooth surface finish, Onyx is a Nylon base reinforced with chopped carbon fiber that boasts high chemical and heat resistance. Onyx prints enjoy both a high-end finish and twice the strength of parts from other composite printers. Try printing with embedded carbon fiber reinforcements for aluminum strength parts.

Onyx FR (FR-A)

Onyx FR and FR-A offer the strength and reliability of the Markforged flagship Onyx composite material designed specifically for the aerospace and transportation industries. Get strong, light weight, and fire-resistant prints that can even be reinforced with any Continuous Fiber inlay for added durability. The material earned a UL Blue Card and is considered self-extinguishing (V-0) at 3mm or thicker.

*Onyx FR-A and Carbon Fiber FR-A are purpose-built for the requirements of the aerospace, transportation, and automotive industries. Onyx FR-A and Carbon Fiber FR-A as printed on the Markforged X7 are undergoing qualification through the NCAMP process.

Onyx ESD

Onyx-level durability that’s stronger, stiffer, and ESD resistant for a wide range of industrial applications. Developed specifically to have an extremely tight range of surface resistances that meet the ESD-safety requirements of even the strictest manufacturers, Onyx ESD is a static dissipative safe variant of Onyx that offers strength, stiffness, and a near-perfect surface finish.

Nylon (White)

Affordable, easily painted, non-abrasive, and durable, Nylon and Nylon White are the materials-of-choice for quick cosmetic prints that are likely to be handled over and over again. Nylon is an unfilled, smooth engineering thermoplastic that is great for ergonomic surfaces and workholding structure.

Precise PLA

Precise PLA is the easy-to-print plastic for precision concept modeling and validation. Based on the most common 3D printing prototyping material, Precise PLA 3D prints without warping and comes in a variety of colors. Best of all, it’s affordable. So you can use as much as you need to fine-tune your designs before implementation.

Customer stories

The know-how of the SolidXperience optimization service has enabled LDV to achieve its productivity objectives, carry out large-scale projects and remain competitive against the competition.

Vincent Alie Design Director

Since implementing PDM, we have the foundation in place that we need to automate our processes, eliminate waste, and remove unnecessary costs.

Chip MontgomeryTeam Leader

Our success rate is so high because we’ve validated close correlation between the results we get from SOLIDWORKS Plastics Professional and actual production, using photoelastic and microscopic analysis tools to confirm the software’s simulation results.

Jeffrey NicollPresident

With SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D, we’ve reduced BOM generation time from hours to minutes, and the BOM information that we output is more accurate.

Shawn EckhardtControls Engineer

From incoming part lots to in-process assembly inspections, SOLIDWORKS Inspection software helps us catch more unacceptable parts and eliminate assembly issues.

Mark GerhartConfiguration Manage

With the automation that we’ve achieved integrating SOLIDWORKS with our ERP system, our designers only have to worry about working on the design and getting that job done properly... It’s much easier to visualize and model these designs in SOLIDWORKS, and we’ve been able to automate fabrication by employing MBD techniques.

Anderson ViecelliOwner and Engineering Manager

SOLIDWORKS Composer software gives us the capability to automate the creation of renderings and exploded views, which further enhances our understanding of the project.

Gary HagerSenior Project Manager/Engineer

What really sold me on SOLIDWORKS Visualize software was the ‘glass’ quality—how real it makes glass bottles look. We do a lot with glass and plastics, and we need a tool that provides the most photorealistic images possible. With the other packages, the glass quality was really not there, so we chose to standardize on SOLIDWORKS Visualize.
