Nylon is a tough, stiff engineering material with excellent bearing and wear characteristics. Nylon is widely used to replace metal bearings and bushings, removing the requirement for external lubrication in the process. Other advantages include reduced part weight, reduced operation noise, and reduced mating part wear.
Nylon White outperforms Markforged original Tough Nylon material in terms of strength, stiffness, and dependability. The surface of the material is smooth and non-abrasive, and it can be reinforced with any of our continuous fiber material alternatives.
Nylon PA12 objects are made from a fine polyamide powder, often known as plastic, and are printed using HP. Because of its high precision and affordable cost, Nylon PA12 is ideal for both experienced designers and newcomers. The good mechanical qualities of this nylon material will be used in more sophisticated additive manufacturing applications, and it could even be used to replace injection molding plastic.
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a long filament looped around a spool that is utilized by 3D FDM or FFF printers. The 3D printer is easy to use: the ABS strand is fed into an extrusion head or extruder, which melts the ABS plastic by heating it to its melting temperature. The substance is liquefied and then applied layer by layer on a printing platform (which may be a table).
PLA stands for polylactic acid, which is a polymer manufactured from renewable resources. In contrast to other thermoplastics that are petroleum-based, maize starch, tapioca roots, and sugarcane are some of the raw materials utilized to make PLA. However, its qualities are equivalent to those of other plastics used in the industry.
Polyethylene terephthalate glycol, typically called PETG or PET-G, is a thermoplastic polyester that gives extensive chemical resistance, durability, and notable formability for production. PETG may be effortlessly vacuumed and pressure-fashioned in addition to the heat-bent way to its low forming temperatures. This makes it exceedingly famous for patron and industrial programs that contain 3-D printing, or different heat-forming production strategies. Additionally, PETG is well-suitable for fabrication strategies like die-cutting, routing, and bending.

17-4 PH Stainless Steel is a multipurpose metallic used for business applications. Heat-treatable to 36 HRC and owning 95% wrought strength, Markforged 17-4 PH permits you to print high-strength, sturdy steel components for extensive sorts of applications.
Unparalleled in its cap potential to behave with each warmth and electricity, natural Copper is completely unique steel to 3D print. Markforged Copper possesses higher conductivity traits than alloyed copper that may be published on DMLS machines. Unlike traditional fabrication methods which might be extraordinarily exertions in-depth and expensive, Markforged Copper is extraordinarily easy to 3D print.
A2 tool steel is a highly versatile air-hardening tool steel often regarded as a “universal” cold work steel. It offers a combination of good wear resistance (between O1 and D2) and toughness. Considered relatively easy to machine in the annealed condition, it has a high compression strength and good dimensional stability during hardening and tempering. It’s used for a wide variety of cold-work tools, from forming and cutting equipment to high wear parts.
D2 is a high hardness cold working tool steel that is printed on the Metal X. It offers excellent wear resistance and is widely used in applications that require high compression strength, sharp edges, and abrasion resistance
Harder than 17-4 PH Stainless Steel and capable of maintaining material properties at high temperatures, H13 tool steel is an extremely versatile material to work with. Markforged H13 can be heat treated to 45 HRC with a UTS of 1500 MPa and is used by Markforged customers for tool bodies, brazing fixtures, and other parts where hardness or heat resistance are required.
Inconel 625 is a nickel-based superalloy that is highly resistant to corrosion and high temperatures. The strength of Inconel 625 is not compromised by multiple heat cycles, and it can withstand temperatures up to 1000°C. Traditionally, Inconel 625 is an extremely expensive material to use, however, the Metal X system now allows manufacturers to take advantage of this material at a fraction of the typical cost.
Accurate and fast using all-ceramic materials. Clay 3D printer 0pen and accessible on three sides to interact during the prints. Compact professional clay 3D printer, prints up to 40 cm in height.
Bioinks are natural or synthetic biomaterials that mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) to support the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of living cells. These materials give cells important cues they need to live, grow, and create functional 3D tissue.
Onyx — our flagship Composite Base material — is a micro carbon fiber-filled nylon that yields accurate parts with impeccable surface finish. Few materials have the versatility of Onyx; it offers high strength, toughness, and chemical resistance when printed alone, and can be reinforced with Continuous Fibers to yield aluminum-strength parts. Today, there are more than a million Onyx parts in the field transforming manufacturing.
Fiberglass is Markforged’s entry-level Continuous Fiber —a material capable of yielding parts 10x stronger than ABS when laid into a Composite Base material like Onyx. Fiberglass is the flagship material of the Onyx Pro and X5 and printable on the Mark Two and X7, providing a more affordable alternative to Carbon Fiber.
High Strength High Temperature (HSHT) Fiberglass is defined by two characteristics: high strength (nearly equal to 6061-T6 Aluminum) and strength in high temperatures. Though not as stiff as Continuous Carbon Fiber, Onyx parts reinforced with HSHT are strong at both low and high temperatures. As a result, HSHT reinforcement is best used for parts in high-temperature environments like molds, autoclaves, and others.
Aramid Fiber is a Kevlar® based, specialized Continuous Fiber known for its energy absorption and extreme toughness. When laid into Onyx or another Composite Base material, it yields extremely impact-resistant parts that are nearly immune to catastrophic failure (fracture). It’s perfect for use in parts that are in demanding environments or are subject to repetitive loading.
Carbon Fiber is Markforged’s unique, ultra-high-strength Continuous Fiber — when laid into a Composite Base material like Onyx, it can yield parts as strong as 6061-T6 Aluminum. It’s extremely stiff and strong and can be automatically laid down in a wide variety of geometries by Markforged 3D printers.
Onyx ESD is the most advanced polymer we’ve ever developed. It’s precision-engineered to possess an extremely tight range of surface resistance — meeting ESD-safe requirements of the most stringent manufacturers — while offering the same industry-leading benefits that Onyx offers. In fact, it’s actually stronger and stiffer than Onyx with a similarly impeccable surface finish, making it the go-to material for advanced applications.
Onyx FR is a flame-resistant variant of Onyx designed for use in applications where parts must be non-flammable. The material earned a UL Blue Card and is considered V-0 (self-extinguishing) at thicknesses greater than or equal to 3mm. It can be reinforced with any Continuous Fiber and is compatible with industrial composite 3D printers.
