Plastic Filaments
Onyx – a micro carbon fibre filled nylon. It offers high strength, toughness, and chemical resistance when printed alone, and can be reinforced with Continuous Fibres to yield aluminium-strength parts.
Precise PLA (Polylactic Acid) – Easy-to-print plastic for precision concept modelling and proofing. Based on the most common 3D printing prototyping material, Precise PLA 3D prints without warping and comes in a variety of colours. Best of all, it’s affordable. So you can use as much as you need to fine-tune your designs before implementation.
Nylon – Nylon is an unfilled thermoplastic. It’s a non-abrasive material that is great for ergonomic surfaces and work holding for pieces that are easily marred.
Continuous Fibre Filaments
Carbon Fibre – Carbon Fiber is Markforged’s unique, ultra-high-strength Continuous Fiber — when laid into a Composite Base material like Onyx, it can yield parts as strong as 6061-T6 Aluminum.
Aramid Fibre – Aramid Fibre is a Kevlar® based, specialized Continuous Fibre known for its energy absorption and extreme toughness. When laid into Onyx or another Composite Base material, it creates impact-resistant parts that are nearly immune to catastrophic failure (fracture). It’s perfect for use in parts that are in demanding environments or are subject to repetitive loading.
HSHT Fiberglass – High Strength High Temperature (HSHT) Fiberglass is defined by two characteristics: high strength (nearly equal to 6061-T6 Aluminium) and strength in high temperatures. Though not as stiff as Continuous Carbon Fibre, Onyx parts reinforced with HSHT are strong at both low and high temperatures.
Fiberglass – capable of yielding parts 10x stronger than ABS when laid into a Composite Base material like Onyx.
