About the X5
The Markforged X5 CFR commercial 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.
The X5 has a 3rd-generation fiber reinforcement system that enables you to lay down continuous fiber into parts. Markforged composite printers are capable of printing Continuous Fiberglass reinforced parts.
Materials
Leverage the power of Continuous Fiberglass reinforcement to print parts 10x stronger than plastic.
-
Onyx™
Micro carbon fiber filled nylon offers excellent heat resistance, surface finish, and chemical resistance.
Fiberglass
Inexpensive and 11 times stiffer than ABS, Fiberglass is the perfect entry-level Continous Fiber for 3D printing functional parts.
Onyx ESD™
Stronger, stiffer, and ESD resistant Onyx variant for industrial and electronic manufacturing applications.
Onyx FR™
Certified UL 94 V-0 rated flame-retardant nylon filled with micro-carbon fiber that possesses the same core properties as Onyx.
Nylon
Smooth, white, non-abrasive, and easily painted nylon thermoplastic best used for non-marring workholding and human contact.
Precise PLA
Affordable prototyping plastic, available in 8 different colors, engineered to print reliably and accurately.
The power of Continuous Fiberglass at your fingertips.
