\n\t\t\t\tMarkforged Desktop 3D Printers\n\t\t\t<\/h1>\n\t

The Markforged 3D desktop printer series consists of three models with overlapping capabilities. These printers are perfect for prototyping, with a wide range of 3D printing capabilities. All share the same basic platform, with the main difference being the ability to print with more advanced filaments. All, including the affordable Onyx One, work with a carbon fiber-filled nylon filament, while the Onyx Pro and Mark Two can also print with continuous fibers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMark Two\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOnyx Pro\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"mark2-hero\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\tMaterials\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/a>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"Precise\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\tCompact Dimensions\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

All desktop printers share the same office-friendly footprint of 23″ x 13″. These printers use a compact Drybox that contains the filament holder, which is placed next to or behind the printer. Models that are compatible with fiber reinforcement also have an internal fiber spool holder.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tDesktop 3D Printer Series Capabilities\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

Desktop 3D printers can produce end-use parts with a manufacturing tolerance of between 0.004 inches and 0.008 inches, depending on layer height. They can print concept models and functional prototypes up to 12.6″ x 5.2″ x 6″ in size. They have a precision composite print bed with a kinematic coupling to ensure proper alignment when reinstalling the base for a seamless 3D printing experience.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"Onyx-Pro-Small\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\tMaterials\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/a>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"Precise\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\tFused Filament Versus Continuous Filament Fabrication\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

Fused filament fabrication printing materials are homogenous plastics melted by the extruder and laid down as soft beads that fuse as they cool. They are ideal for cost-efficient prototypes. Markforged Onyx base fused filament material contains micro carbon fibers to improve surface finish, strength and toughness. The continuous filament fabrication process adds a continuous filament of fiberglass, aramid or carbon fiber through a second print nozzle, which significantly increases component tensile strength. Additionally, using\u00a0Markforged’s Eiger online software, users can lay fibers to increase the strength of load-bearing parts.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"radar_graph_v3\"\n\t\t
