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.

Thermally resistant Continuous Fiber for strong parts in high-temperature environments

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.

PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) is considered as one of the world’s highest performing engineering thermoplastics, offering exceptional chemical resistance and excellent mechanical properties at high temperatures.

ULTEM™ 1010 resin is an amorphous, transparent polyetherimide plastic offering enhanced flow and a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 215°C.

ULTEM™ 9085 resin offers the ability to create parts with excellent properties at elevated temperatures due to a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 186°C.

These are moldable plastics often used in rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing (direct digital manufacturing) applications. Polyphenylsulfone is heat and chemical-resistant suited for automotive, aerospace, and plumbing applications

Nylon exhibits mechanical properties comparable to ABS (another widely used material in traditional & additive manufacturing). ABS is defined by its strength but Nylon’s resistance to wear and fatigue makes it superior for applications requiring such properties.

Polycarbonates used in engineering are strong, tough materials, and some grades are optically transparent. They are easily worked, molded, and thermoformed.

Thermoplastic Polyurethane or TPU is referred to as the bridge between rubbers and plastics. The material appears rubber-like, which means it can be extremely flexible, durable and smooth to the touch.

Carbon fiber filaments use tiny fibers that are infused into a base material to improve the properties of that material. These fibers are extremely strong and cause the filament to increase in strength and stiffness. This also means that the 3D printed parts will be much lighter and more dimensionally stable

Fiberglass is mostly melted glass that has been pulled into long, thin strands and then glued together using a crosshatch pattern and resin for added strength. It has quite a few unique benefits.
