Markforged 3D Printing Materials

Industrial-grade materials for all of your prototype, functional and end-use parts. Print with plastics, continuous fiber & metal materials.

Composite Base filaments are engineering-grade materials that print using a conventional FFF (FDM-style) process. Print with them alone or with Continuous Fibers to yield strong parts. Currently there are 6 composite base plastics to choose from.

Continuous Fibers enable Markforged composite printers to print metal-strength parts. They cannot be used alone, but when printed with a Composite Base, they form the backbone of a strong printed part. Currently there are 5 continuous fibers to choose from.

Our Markforged metal filaments combine the simplicity and safety of FFF printing with the superior properties of advanced metals, bringing metal 3D printing to your benchtop using a 3-step process: wash, sinter, print. Currently there are 6 metal materials to choose from.

Markforged Kevlar Part

Aramid Fiber (Kevlar®)

Aramid Fiber is a Kevlar® based, specialized Continuous Fiber known for its energy absorption and extreme toughness. When laid into Onyx or another Composite Base material, it yields 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.

Markforged HSHT Fiber Part

HSHT Fiberglass

HSHT Fiberglass is defined by two characteristics: high strength (nearly equal to 6061-T6 Aluminum) and high temperatures. Though not as stiff as Continuous Carbon Fiber, Onyx parts reinforced with HSHT are strong at both low and high temperatures. As a result, HSHT reinforcement is best for parts in high-temperature environments like molds and autoclaves.
