Pure copper conducts heat and electricity far better than traditional metals. Markforged Copper possesses better conductivity characteristics than alloyed copper that can be printed on DMLS machines. Unlike conventional fabrication processes which are extremely labor intensive and expensive, Markforged Copper is extremely simple to 3D print.

Applications:

• High-Temperature Fixtures, Corrosion-Resistant Fittings, Crucible, Turbine Hardware

Works with: Metal X

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.

Applications:

• Cutting Tool Bodies, Brazing Fixtures, Mold Inserts, Wear-Resistant Tools, High-Strength Parts

 Works with: Metal X

A2 and D2 are cold work tool steels defined by their extremely high hardness after heat treatment. A2 tool steel is often regarded as a “universal” cold work steel, offering a combination of good wear resistance and high toughness. D2 tool steel is harder and more wear-resistant, but less tough. Both can be used for cutting and forming tools, or other applications where high hardness are valued.

Onyx FR is a flame-retardant 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.

Applications:

• Weld Fixturing
• Aerospace Clips & Brackets
• Laser Marking Fixtures
• Energy/Electrical Brackets & Fixtures

Works with: X7, X5, X3, FX20

Precise PLA is our 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.

Applications:

• Part prototypes, Fit check, Color coded indicators

Nylon is an unfilled thermoplastic. It’s a non-abrasive material that is great for ergonomic surfaces and workholding for pieces that are easily marred. It can be painted or dyed.

Applications:

• Ergonomic Tools, Assembly Trays, Cosmetic Parts

 Works with: X7, Mark Two, FX20

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. 

Works with: FX20, X7

Aramid Fiber is a Kevlar® based, specialized Continuous Fiber known for its energy absorption and extreme toughness. It’s perfect for use in parts that are in demanding environments or are subject to repetitive loading.

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

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.

Applications:

• Polymer Molds,Prototype (Low-Run) Injection Molds, High-Temperature Fixturing, High-Temperature Prototypes

Works with: X7, X5, Mark Two, Onyx Pro, FX20
