X7 Field Edition is the rugged, field-deployable industrial 3D printer for tactical response to supply challenges in remote locations.
Whether you're in the armed services, field services, or factory operations — X7 FE bridges gaps in the path from art to part, where the road is not well-traveled.
We made X7 FE for those who go beyond.
For those whose line of work takes them far from home.
For those who venture outside the comforts of stable power and internet connections.
For those without the conveniences of free next-day shipping and scheduled daily deliveries.
X7 FE extends the reach of the Digital Forge, helping you produce parts with minimal effort at any point of need.
Rugged
Pelican AL3232 single lid case with custom foam modules and moving component locks to mitigate damage during transport. The X7 FE solution has been included in MIL-STD-810 testing in support of a DoD Program of Record.*
Reliable
Increase supply chain resilience by printing tools, adapters, and replacement parts for equipment at the point of need. Ensure dimensional accuracy for the most critical tolerances with the integrated laser micrometer and adaptive bed leveling.
Ready
Simple user interface for effortless print configuration, with onboard utilities for guided printer calibration and maintenance. The X7 FE can be fully set up and ready to print in minutes. The unit contains the materials, spare parts, and tools needed to sustain production between resupply opportunities.

About the X7 Field Edition
Pound for pound, watt for watt, Markforged printers are the most capable 3D printers on the planet.
Print parts stronger than aluminum with unique continuous carbon fiber reinforcement. No bulky heated chamber required, which saves space, weight, and energy.
Stiff, lightweight aluminum unibody construction with precision-machined gantry. 189 pounds fully loaded. 3ft x 3ft footprint.
Draws less power than a pair of incandescent light bulbs. Uses standard mains power: 100-240 VAC, 150 W (2 A peak).
Laser-assisted calibration helps operators keep the machine tuned up through rough handling, transportation, and fluctuating temperatures.
Materials
Strong, durable, impact-resistant, and flame-retardant. Print with Markforged's full range of Composite Base materials and Continuous Fibers.
-
Onyx™
Micro carbon fiber filled nylon offers excellent heat resistance, surface finish, and chemical resistance.
Carbon Fiber
Stiff, strong, and extremely light, carbon fiber reinforcement yields parts capable of replacing machined aluminum.
Aramid Fiber (Kevlar®)
Extremely durable and highly resistant to catastrophic failure, Kevlar® is an excellent reinforcement choice for harsh environments.
Onyx FR™
Certified UL 94 V-0 rated flame-retardant nylon filled with micro-carbon fiber that possesses the same core properties as Onyx.
Carbon Fiber FR
Carbon Fiber FR is a flame-retardant flight-capable variant of Markforged’s unique, ultra-high-strength Continuous Carbon Fiber. FR-A materials establish lot-level material traceability and pass the test suite necessary for qualification under 14 CFR 25.853 for most 3D-printable parts.
HSHT Fiberglass
HSHT fiberglass material delivers the highest impact resistance and heat deflection temperature of our continuous fibers, and can be used for low-temp molds.
Onyx ESD™
Stronger, stiffer, and ESD resistant Onyx variant for industrial and electronic manufacturing applications.
Fiberglass
Inexpensive and 11 times stiffer than ABS, Fiberglass is the perfect entry-level Continous Fiber for 3D printing functional parts.
Precise PLA
Affordable prototyping plastic, available in 8 different colors, engineered to print reliably and accurately.
Nylon
Smooth, white, non-abrasive, and easily painted nylon thermoplastic best used for non-marring workholding and human contact.
Reinforce parts with Continuous Carbon Fiber, for strength where you need it most.
Software
3D Printing Software Meets Production Management
Digitize mission critical component inventories to bypass costly high-risk supply chains. Bring innovation directly to the point of need with powerful Offline Eiger software, which rolls improvements from Cloud Eiger into updates when you re-surface for Wi-Fi.
