Materials for Composite 3D Printer

Onyx

Onyx consists of nylon mixed with carbon short fibers. This produces a high-strength thermoplastic with excellent heat resistance, surface quality and chemical resistance.

Onyx FR

Onyx FR achieves a V-0 classification in the UL94 plastic flammability test, while achieving similar mechanical properties to Onyx.

Onyx ESD

Onyx ESD is a new variant of Onyx, which combines static dissipation and ESD safety with the best mechanical properties and surface quality.

Nylon White

Nylon White is an engineering thermoplastic. The material is non-abrasive, making it ideal for ergonomic surfaces and for handling workpieces with delicate surfaces.

Carbon fiber

Carbon fiber is a high-strength lightweight material. It has an extremely high strength to weight ratio, 10 times greater than that of onyx.

Fiberglass

Markforged fiberglass is a continuous fiber material used to reinforce onyx or nylon components. Fiberglass reinforced parts have 5 times the strength of onyx parts.

Precise PLA

Precise PLA is an easy-to-print plastic for precise concept modeling and validation. Based on the most common material for 3D printing prototypes, Precise PLA 3D prints without deformation and is available in eight different colors. Best of all, it's affordable.

Smooth TPU

Introducing the latest material to the Markforged platform and in the wider manufacturing world: Smooth TPU 95A! This material lends completely new functional properties to Digital Forge.

VEGA

Vega™ represents Markforged's inaugural engineered high-temperature plastic, featuring an ultra-high-performance formulation of carbon fiber-infused PEKK designed for 3D printing essential aerospace components. Vega™ can be enhanced with continuous fiber reinforcement to attain strength comparable to aluminum, making it a suitable replacement for non-critical structural aerospace elements. It showcases a sleek black matte surface finish, ideally suited for production parts that require minimal post-processing.
