Introduction

The Markforged Mark 2 3D printer:

  • Prints proprietary carbon fibre filled nylon (called ONYX)

  • Patented second nozzle system can deposit additional fibre between layers

  • Other plastics and fibres possible, but not in scope of the current training:

    • Ultem

    • Fibreglass

    • Kevlar

The prints are more expensive than prints in PLA/ABS on the Ultimaker, but they promise much higher physical properties. Think of being able to replace aluminium parts with these prints.
