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.

Carbon Fiber

• The literal and symbolic backbone of aluminum-strength, composite 3D printed parts, Carbon Fiber is the classic Markforged high-strength Continuous Fiber. Take advantage of the highest strength-to-weight ratio of the Markforged reinforcing fibers, 6x stronger and 18x stiffer than Onyx! Carbon Fiber reinforcement is commonly used to replace traditionally machined aluminum parts and fixtures.

Fiberglass

• As an entry-level continuous fiber material, Fiberglass is perfect for printing parts 10x stronger than ABS, or 2.5x stronger and 8x stiffer than Onyx alone. Print robust tools, jigs, and fixtures with Fiberglass inlays on the Onyx Pro and X5, and on the Mark Two and X7 for a more affordable, accessible carbon fiber alternative.

Fiberglass (HSHT)

• Of course, High Strength High Temperature Fiberglass (HSHT) is iconic for its aluminum strength and high heat tolerance. Onyx parts reinforced with HSHT are strong at both low and high temperatures and are 5x as strong and 7x as stiff as parts printed in pure Onyx. It’s best used for durable parts designed to operate in high temperatures.

Kevlar (Aramid Fiber)

• Tough Continuous Fiber for high-impact applications, Aramid Fiber is a Kevlar-based specialized continuous fiber known for its extreme energy absorption. Armor up with Kevlar reinforcement inlays that add strength and durability for parts as stiff as fiberglass and much more ductile. When laid into Onyx or another composite base material, achieve impact-resistant pieces that are nearly immune to catastrophic failure!

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.

Smooth TPU 95A

• Smooth TPU 95A is a rubber-like material that when used with Markforged composite printers offers product developers and manufacturers the ability to create flexible, impact-absorbent parts on demand.

Carbon Fiber FR

• Carbon Fiber FR is a flame-retardant variant of Markforged’s unique, ultra-high-strength Continuous Carbon Fiber — when used to reinforce a Composite Base material like Onyx FR, it can yield parts as strong as 6061-T6 Aluminum. It’s extremely stiff and strong and can be precisely laid down in a wide variety of geometries. Programmatically trace curved features, reinforce holes, and mimic unidirectional fiber layups
