INDUSTRIAL 3D PRINTING MATERIALS
Engineering-grade materials enable you to use 3D printing to make parts suitable for every stage in the manufacturing process.
ONYX
Already 40% stiffer than ABS, Onyx provides the foundation for Markforged’s 3D printed advanced composites materials. It can be printed on its own or reinforced with any of our four continuous fibers.
FIBER MATERIALS
Markforged is the first company to offer 3D printed continuous fibers, enabling composite parts robust enough to replace machined metal.
Continuous Filament Fabrication (CFF) is the method with which fiber reinforced composites are 3D printed. Continuous fibers are extruded layer-by-layer similarly to FFF processes.
Precise PLA
Precise PLA is Markforged 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.
