X7™ industrial
3d printer
The X7 prints industrial grade manufacturing jigs, jaws, tools and fixtures. Designed from the ground up to survive the production floor environment and capable of printing parts stronger than machined aluminum for a fraction of the cost, the X7 delivers unparalleled surface finish, build size, and reliability.
The refined Industrial FFF 3D printer for micro carbon fiber filled nylon parts
Carbon Fiber Strength
The X7 3D prints Continuous Carbon Fiber reinforced parts in hours that can be as strong as — and capable of replacing — machined aluminum.
Functional Parts of All Types
For a wide variety of functional requirements — flame resistance, chemical resistance, energy absorbance, high resolution, draft parts — the X7 has an industrial material or print mode capable of fabricating a functional part for you.
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 X7 CFR industrial carbon fiber 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 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. 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 perfect bed adhesion and inspect parts for accuracy after printing.
The X7 has a 3rd-generation fiber reinforcement system that enables you to lay down continuous fiber into parts. Markforged composite printers are uniquely capable of printing four types continuous fiber reinforced parts.
