A game changing way to get industrial-grade parts in hours, not weeks — the X7 carbon fiber 3D printer enables engineers and designers to fundamentally improve manufacturing operations at light speed.
Carbon Fiber Strength
The X7 3D prints Continuous Carbon Fiber reinforced parts in hours that can be as strong as — and capable of replacing — machined aluminum.
Functional Parts of All Types
For a wide variety of functional requirements — flame resistance, chemical resistance, energy absorbance, high resolution, draft parts — the X7 has an industrial material or print mode capable of fabricating a functional part for you.
Industrial Reliability and Accuracy
Precision-machined hardware, advanced sensors, and unique software drive leading edge accuracy and reliability. Markforged industrial carbon fiber 3D printers offer micron-level laser scanning for closed-loop calibration, reliably yielding parts with high repeatability and near-perfect surface finish.

About the X7
The Markforged X7 CFR industrial carbon fiber 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 and inspect parts for accuracy after printing.
The X7 has a 3rd-generation fiber reinforcement system that enables you to lay down continuous fiber into parts. Markforged composite printers are uniquely capable of printing four types continuous fiber reinforced parts.

Smooth TPU 95A
Smooth TPU 95A is a rubber-like material that when used with Markforged composite printers offers product developers and manufacturers the ability to create flexible, impact-absorbent parts on demand.
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.
Onyx ESD™
Stronger, stiffer, and ESD resistant Onyx variant for industrial and electronic manufacturing applications.
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.
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.
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.
