The Markforged X7 is an industrial 3D printer made by Markforged, a US manufacturer based in Boston. The X3 and X5 are part of the same series.

Markforged X7 Onyx material

The X7 3D prints with Onyx, a proprietary filament made of Nylon reinforced with carbon fiber. This material is strong (20% stronger than ABS) and can withstand high temperatures. Onyx enables professionals to 3D print engineering-grade parts at a fraction of the cost of traditional manufacturing.

To make the 3D printed parts even stronger, the X7 weaves a Continuous Carbon Fiber, Fiberglass, or Kevlar strand into the Onyx filament. This makes the parts as strong as metal.

Markforged X7 main features

• Continuous Filament Fabrication (CFF): this dual nozzle system enables the 3D printer to integrate fiberglass, carbon fiber, or Kevlar material to the Onyx filament.
• Material usage detection: the X7 offers material usage detection and informs users when the filament is about to run out.
• High-precision calibration: thanks to a built-in laser, the 3D printer scans the print bed to provide accurate bed leveling. The laser also acts as a fail-safe in case of a power outage, by scanning and determining where the 3D print stopped.
• 4.3-inch touchscreen: offers a friendly user interface.
• Elger software: this proprietary software enables users to 3D print from their browser and control their fleet of 3D printers.
