Materials for Composite 3D Printer
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.
Nylon White FS
Nylon White FS is a certified, non-abrasive nylon for food contact in accordance with NSF/ANSI Standard 51 and FDA CFR Title 21 and is suitable for tool printing, maintenance and repair applications in the food and beverage industry.
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.
17-4 PH stainless steel V2
17-4 PH stainless steel V2 is a multi-purpose steel used for industrial applications. Markforged 17-4PH V2 is suitable for heat treatment up to 36 HRC, has a forging strength of 95% and is suitable for printing high-strength, robust metal parts for a wide range of applications.
*Can only be used for FX10 and with additional kit “FX10 Metal Kit”.
Metal Ceramic Support
The ceramic support material is required for metal printing in conjunction with the “FX10 Metal Kit” to build up the support structure.
316L Stainless Steel
316L is a low carbon stainless steel that is widely used in manufacturing. It is characterized by good strength and toughness as well as excellent corrosion resistance and is often used for parts in marine environments, medical equipment and food and beverage processing. (currently not available)
