Markforged X5

Reliably produce high-strength parts at an affordable price point in any environment.

Print custom-designed Fiberglass reinforced parts strong enough to replace some machined aluminium.
Print with Onyx, Onyx FR, Onyx ESD, Nylon, and Continuous Fiberglass in a wide variety of print modes, including high-resolution printing.
Design your part, upload it into Eiger browser-based software, select a Composite Base filament, reinforce the part with Continuous Fiberglass, and hit print. It’s that simple.

What features do you get?

Precision-machined hardware, advanced sensors, and unique software drive leading-edge accuracy and reliability. Markforged industrial carbon fiber 3D printers offer micron-level laser scanning for closed-loop calibration, reliably yielding parts with high repeatability and near-perfect surface finish.
Advanced hardware, electronics, and software are designed to give you a seamless user experience.
The X5 has a 3rd-generation fiber reinforcement system that enables you to lay down Continuous Fiberglass reinforcement.
The reinforced, precision-machined gantry and a precision ground print bed can both be removed and replaced with 10 μm repeatability.

Each piece of hardware in the filament extrusion system, from the nozzles to the extruder hobs, is optimized to resist wear from micro carbon fiber filled nylon filaments and maintain print quality over thousands of hours. These parts are also designed to be easily accessed and replaced when needed.

Out-of-material sensors ensure that you’re always up and running and will pause your print when your material spool ends so you don’t lose print progress.
A scanning laser on the printhead enables the printer to dynamically adjust the first layers of a print to achieve perfect bed adhesion.

Nylon (White)

Affordable, easily painted, non-abrasive, and durable, Nylon and Nylon White are the materials-of-choice for quick cosmetic prints that are likely to be handled over and over again. Nylon is an unfilled, smooth engineering thermoplastic that is great for ergonomic surfaces and workholding structure.

Onyx

The go-to Markforged composite for printing accurate parts with a smooth surface finish, Onyx is a Nylon base reinforced with chopped carbon fiber that boasts high chemical and heat resistance. Onyx prints enjoy both a high-end finish and twice the strength of parts from other composite printers. Try printing with embedded carbon fiber reinforcements for aluminum strength parts.

Onyx FR (FR-A)

Onyx FR and FR-A offer the strength and reliability of the Markforged flagship Onyx composite material designed specifically for the aerospace and transportation industries. Get strong, light weight, and fire-resistant prints that can even be reinforced with any Continuous Fiber inlay for added durability. The material earned a UL Blue Card and is considered self-extinguishing (V-0) at 3mm or thicker.

*Onyx FR-A and Carbon Fiber FR-A are purpose-built for the requirements of the aerospace, transportation, and automotive industries. Onyx FR-A and Carbon Fiber FR-A as printed on the Markforged X7 are undergoing qualification through the NCAMP process.

Onyx ESD

Onyx-level durability that’s stronger, stiffer, and ESD resistant for a wide range of industrial applications. Developed specifically to have an extremely tight range of surface resistances that meet the ESD-safety requirements of even the strictest manufacturers, Onyx ESD is a static dissipative safe variant of Onyx that offers strength, stiffness, and a near-perfect surface finish.

Fiberglass

As an entry-level continuous fiber material, Fiberglass is perfect for printing parts 10x stronger than ABS, or 2.5x stronger and 8x stiffer than Onyx alone. Print robust tools, jigs, and fixtures with Fiberglass inlays on the Onyx Pro and X5, and on the Mark Two and X7 for a more affordable, accessible carbon fiber alternative.
