Markforged Desktop 3D Printers offer a unique combination of affordability and strength. Unlike standard Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) printers, Markforged machines leverage Continuous Fiber Reinforcement (CFR) technology, which allows for the embedding of high-strength fibers—such as Carbon Fiber, Fiberglass, and Kevlar—within the proprietary Onyx composite matrix. This unique capability allows users to produce parts with unprecedented strength, stiffness, and durability for a desktop system. The result: functional components, jigs, fixtures, end-use parts and prototypes that not only look good but perform under real-world stress.
