X7 FIELD EDITION

Whether you’re in the armed services, field services, or factory operations — X7 FE bridges gaps in the path from art to part, where the road is not well-traveled.

A rugged, field-deployable industrial 3D printer for tactical response to supply challenges in remote locations

Pelican AL3232 single lid case with custom foam modules and moving component locks to mitigate damage during transport. The X7 FE solution has been included in MIL-STD-810 testing in support of a DoD Program of Record.

Reliable

Increase supply chain resilience by printing tools, adapters, and replacement parts for equipment at the point of need. Ensure dimensional accuracy for the most critical tolerances with the integrated laser micrometer and adaptive bed leveling.

Ready

Simple user interface for effortless print configuration, with onboard utilities for guided printer calibration and maintenance. The X7 FE can be fully set up and ready to print in minutes. The unit contains the materials, spare parts, and tools needed to sustain production between resupply opportunities.

The Onyx Pro is an advanced professional 3D printer – built around the Continuous Fiber Reinforcement (CFR) process to reliably produce strong parts for you. It’s built around an aluminum unibody frame that delivers high accuracy and repeatability. A hardened extrusion system enables the Onyx Pro to print Onyx — a micro carbon fiber filled nylon filament that destroys traditional extrusion systems — reliably over thousands of print hours. The machine is built to be easy to operate and maintain — from easy-to-reach wear components (like nozzles and feed tubes) to usability focused features like the print bed, which can be removed and replaced with 10 μm repeatability. In addition to more common FFF features, the Onyx has a 2nd-generation fiber reinforcement system that enables you to lay down continuous Fiberglass into parts. Markforged composite printers are capable of printing continuous fiber reinforced parts, which can replace machined aluminum parts in application.

Pound for pound, watt for watt, Markforged printers are the most capable 3D printers on the planet.

Print parts stronger than aluminum with unique continuous carbon fiber reinforcement. No bulky heated chamber required, which saves space, weight, and energy.

Stiff, lightweight aluminum unibody construction with precision-machined gantry. 189 pounds fully loaded. 3ft x 3ft footprint.

Draws less power than a pair of incandescent light bulbs. Uses standard mains power: 100-240 VAC, 150 W (2 A peak).

Laser-assisted calibration helps operators keep the machine tuned up through rough handling, transportation, and fluctuating temperatures.
