X3™ INDUSTRIAL 3D PRINTER

The X3 merges industrial quality and build volume into a benchtop form factor, bringing FFF composite 3D printing to your manufacturing floor.

The refined Industrial FFF 3D printer for micro carbon fiber filled nylon parts

Manufacturing-Grade FFF Printing

The X3 brings three versatile, advanced, micro carbon fiber filled nylon materials to a precision-built Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printing platform, delivering functional part after functional part.

Wide Variety of Optimized Print Modes

Print in a wide variety of print modes all optimized to yield quality parts — including 50 μm resolution, which delivers ultra-high-quality parts without visible layer lines.

Industrial Reliability and Accuracy

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.

The Markforged X3 FFF 3D printer combines precision-built hardware, advanced sensors, and leading edge software to deliver accurate parts repeatably. It features a reinforced, precision-machined gantry and a precision ground print bed that can be removed and replaced with 10um 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. Out of material sensors ensure that you’re always printing while a scanning laser on the printhead enables the printer to dynamically adjust the first layers of a print to achieve ideal bed adhesion.

MATERIALS

Onyx™

Onyx™

Micro carbon fiber filled nylon offers excellent heat resistance, surface finish, and chemical resistance.

Applications

  • Functional Protos
  • Production Covers
  • Fit checks
  • Job Aids

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.

ONYX FR™

ONYX FR™

Certified UL 94 V-0 rated flame-retardant micro carbon fiber filled nylon.

APPLICATIONS

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

Onyx ESD is a static-dissipative chopped carbon fiber nylon material, precision-engineered for a tight range of surface resistance. Onyx ESD meets ESD-safe requirements of the most stringent manufacturers, while offering the same industry-leading print quality of Onyx. Onyx ESD is stronger and stiffer than Onyx, with the same near perfect surface finish, making it suitable for advanced manufacturing applications from electronics assembly to industrial robotics and process automation.

ONYX ESD™

ONYX ESD™

Stronger, stiffer, and ESD-resistant Onyx variant for industrial applications.

APPLICATIONS

  • Vacuum Grippers
  • Transfer Tools
  • Pick and Place
  • Transfer and Packaging Trays
  • Electronics Enclosures
