Markforged Onyx Pro Desktop Composite 3D Printer

Desktop Series: Onyx Pro (Gen 2)

A workhorse professional 3D printer for Continuous Fiberglass reinforced parts

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.

Continuous Filament Fabrication (CFF) Technology

CFF 3D printing technology uses two print nozzles to create composite parts, combining two materials into a single print. This unique process reinforces your parts with continuous fiber during the printing process, enabling you to have parts that are stronger, stiffer and more versatile than typical 3D printed plastic parts.

Onyx Filament

Every Markforged composite printer starts with Onyx filament which can be used for a variety of uses and can be mixed with continuous fibers to increase its strength. Even without reinforcement, this nylon contains chopped carbon fiber to give high strength, an excellent surface finish and heat deflection up to 293 degrees Fahrenheit.

Eiger Software & Ease of Use

Markforged developed its Eiger software to make 3D printing simple. Easily import, manipulate and slice your 3D models directly in a web browser with this cloud-based software that comes with every printer. Printers from Markforged also have built-in touchscreens to help you connect to Wi-Fi, start parts and manage your printer with ease.

Fiberglass Reinforcement

The Markforged Onyx Pro 3D printer uses fiberglass as the reinforcement material for its parts. The composite material makes these parts 11x more rigid than ABS and 26x more rigid than nylon. It is ideal for getting a stiffer part at the most affordable price.
