Introducing the Onyx Series: A New Lineup

Learn Blog

As a company, Markforged promises to enable engineers to create high performance parts by breaking down the barriers between design and a finished product. Our printers consistently deliver parts with the strength, quality, and precision necessary for the engineering and design process. Earlier this year we released Onyx, our chopped carbon fiber nylon filament. With increased stiffness, high dimensional stability, and a beautiful surface finish, it delivers professional products right off the print bed. Both when reinforced with continuous fibers and as a standalone 3D printing material, Onyx provides unmatched material strength, stiffness, and beauty in 3D printing.


‍The range of material properties Markforged has to offer, compared to ABS.

However, Onyx thus far has only been accessible to Mark Two Enterprise and Mark X users, at the top of the Markforged lineup. While continuous fiber reinforcement enables metal-strength 3D printing at a low cost, the professional quality of the Onyx material alone is something we want to share. Today, we introduce the Onyx Series: the Onyx One and the Onyx Pro professional 3D printer.


Because of the popularity of the Onyx material, we decided to make it more accessible to the larger 3D printing community. This restructuring of our product line allows anyone from students to industry professionals reap the benefits of our Onyx material at a $3,499 price point. The Onyx One delivers pure Onyx parts, a material designed to expand the capabilities of 3D printing materials.

What makes the Onyx One stand out when compared to other 3D printers in its price range is that it has been designed from the ground up to handle strong 3D printing materials. This entry-level 3D printer is practically hands-free, with a robust system that guarantees reliability. Eiger, our intuitive platform integrated with all of our products, provides a cloud-based file management and slicer system for any organization. With robust system design and integration, our software, hardware, and materials work together to ensure performance engineering.


If you want high quality parts but don’t need the strength properties seen with our continuous fibers, the Onyx One is a perfect fit. True strength, however, comes from the continuous composite fiber reinforcement that Markforged is known for. The Onyx Pro adds fiberglass reinforcement to your high-strength 3D printing toolbox, opening the door to stronger applications.

3ders.org - Markforged releases $3,500 Onyx One 3D printer for carbon fiber parts

Nov 17, 2016 | By Benedict

Markforged, a Massachusetts-based manufacturer of 3D printers and printing materials, has today announced the North American release of the Onyx One, a 3D printer designed to print black carbon composite parts. The Onyx One, optimized for the production of end-use parts, will retail for $3,500.

As 3D printing materials science advances ever further, 3D printed parts keep getting stronger and stronger. With the new Onyx One 3D printer, Markforged has just introduced one of the toughest players in the game, a printer designed to work with the same company’s trusted Onyx material. Onyx, which until now did not have a dedicated printer with which to use it, is made of chopped carbon fiber within nylon for twice the strength and stiffness of pure plastic.

In addition to producing extremely tough 3D printed parts, the new Onyx One offers a big advantage to users: no post-processing. Coming off the printer with a sleek finished look, parts printed on the Onyx One can go straight into service, whatever their purpose. According to Markforged, the Onyx series of printers are designed with industrial quality from the ground up, each using an integrated hardware, software, and materials system designed for smooth operation.

“Our belief is that every designer and engineer should have broad access to strong, elegant parts from a reliable printer they love to use.” said Greg Mark, CEO of Markforged. “With the Onyx One, we provide our customers with superior parts in a seamless integrated system of hardware, material and software to deliver a quality experience at an accessible price point.”

While the $3,500 Onyx One offers users an entry into carbon composite 3D printing, customers seeking even stronger prints can opt for (or upgrade to) the more advanced Onyx Pro ($7,000), which comes with a second print head and continuous fiberglass reinforcement. By printing with continuous fiberglass, parts can achieve up to five times the strength of those printed in Onyx alone. The Mark Two, Markforged’s top-end printer, retails for $13,500.

“Buyers of the Onyx One can upgrade their printer in the field to an Onyx Pro when they're ready for the extra advanced fiberglass composite parts,” added Mark. “We purposefully designed the entry point Onyx One with an easy path to higher strength for our customers without requiring them to purchase a different printer. Or, they can trade up to the Mark Two for continuous carbon fiber reinforcement, for amazingly strong parts in addition to the impact-resistant Kevlar and high-strength, high temperature fiberglass.”

An added feature of the Onyx One and Pro 3D printers is “Turbo Print,” a new print setting available through the company’s Eiger software. By combining innovations in material delivery and software, the Turbo Print feature allows users to print parts faster without loss of surface quality or resolution.

In addition to the high quality of its latest line of 3D printers, Markforged believes that its unique updates-and-improvements plan for customers makes it one of the most attractive choices for prospective buyers. The company sells through a number of resellers in over 50 countries.

The best 3D printers for home, office or studio

How often have you thought about buying a 3D printer? There is nothing surprising if such a thought periodically visited you. Today, 3D printing has gone beyond the geek toy it once was, and the 3D printer has become a truly useful device for many creative people. Such printers can be used not only to produce parts for all kinds of design projects, but also to print useful home appliances. In addition, the ability to print with consumables such as metal, rubber, or even biodegradable filaments means that finished products will be strong and durable. And if you are an experienced 3D artist or designer, you can combine your skills and the capabilities of a 3D printer to the maximum. nine0003

Be aware that not all 3D printers work the same way. Some use spools of plastic filament that is heated like a hot glue gun and then laid out in layers on the print bed. The print quality of such devices can be good, but some manual processing is often required to smooth out the layer lines. Some models use an LCD screen to shine light onto the resin, while other printers use a laser to solidify the melted resin. nine0003

If you do not want to do modeling, then the abundance of marketplaces with ready-made 3D models will allow you to get good results. Thingiverse, CG Trader and many other sites offer all sorts of models in .stl format that you can print with just a few clicks. Very often you can find free models.

Anycubic Vyper

Budget printer with good features

Price: $399.
Print volume: 245x245x260 mm. nine0017 Layer thickness: 100 µm.

Pros:

  • self-levelling bed included,
  • excellent level of detail,
  • good print speed.

Cons:

  • the need for self-assembly.

All Anycubic 3D printers are good options, but as the most affordable FDM printer, the Vyper is the best deal. It has features not found in more expensive options, and produces prints with great detail and clarity, while doing so with minimal noise. The heated self-levelling print bed is a great feature, but adding a magnetic spring steel sheet to make it easier to remove prints is a win-win. nine0003

Ultimaker S3

Best solution for general 3D printing tasks

Price: $4,080.
Print volume: 230x190x200 mm.
Layer thickness: 20 µm.

Pros:

  • double extruders make life easier,
  • is an excellent self-leveling heated build platform.

Cons:

  • not the cheapest option,
  • noise level is higher than some other printers. nine0024

Ultimaker printers come in a variety of sizes and capabilities, but the Ultimaker 3 is the model we deliberately included in our list of the best 3D printers. A 3D printer has most of the features you want from larger brethren, including dual extruders and nozzles of various sizes. This means that you can print models that would be difficult to print using PVA plastic, which dissolves in water. The Ultimaker 3 also has a print progress camera, a great touch screen interface and a solid build. If you need to master large volumes of printing, then choose the advanced version, which is a little more expensive. nine0003

Elegoo Mars 2 Pro

Best Resin Printing Solution

Price: $329. 99.
Print volume: 129x80x160 mm.
Layer thickness: 50 µm

Pros:

  • excellent print quality at a reasonable price,
  • fast printing at 1-2 seconds per layer.

Cons:

  • the need for self-assembly,
  • Printing smoke can be annoying. nine0024

Elegoo is relatively new to the 3D printing market, but the original Mars printer made a good impression on the community. Mars 2 Pro only confirms the serious intentions of the manufacturer. The new 6” screen prints a layer in less than 2 seconds with no loss of clarity or blur, making this 3D printer one of the fastest resin printers around. In terms of prototyping speed, it's hard to beat unless you need larger objects, as the only real downside to the Mars 2 Pro is the small amount of printed assembly. Smoke when printing is typical for this type of printer. nine0003

Makerbot Replicator+

Universal 3D printer with FDM

Technology: 4500 dollars
Press volume: 295x195x165 mm
layer thickness: 100 μm

Plus:

  • Building fees, flexible fees
  • lots of connection options.

Cons:

  • takes up more space than most competitors,
  • is not the cheapest option.

Makerbot has been around for a long time and is probably the best-known manufacturer of consumer 3D printers. Even Anna Kendrick used it in space in the movie Stowaway. Experience in this area has allowed Makerbot to maintain a similar area to previous models, but increase the volume of printing and reduce the noise level. This model provides a large number of connectivity options, including Wi-Fi. The Makerbot Replicator+ even has a camera so you can watch what's going on remotely. Printing results are good and need only a little manual refinement, because this is an FDM printer. The Replicator+ is a great and reliable option if you are looking to purchase a 3D printer for your home office, school or workshop. nine0003

Anycubic Photon mono SE

Best choice for printing 3D miniatures

Price: $449.89
Print volume: 130x78x160 mm.
Layer thickness: 100 µm.

Pros:

  • excellent level of detail,
  • smooth surface.

Cons:

  • pairs of highlights during printing can be unbearable,
  • resin is expensive.
    • Anycubic's

Photo Mono SE is a great choice if you like custom toys, collectibles or action figures from PC games as the detail on this printer is fantastic. Like other monochrome printers, it is fast enough. It only takes about a second to print one layer. The resin may have an unpleasant odor, but you can place the printer under an air exhaust cabinet. This is a small sacrifice for such a productive machine, which is really worth the money spent. nine0003

Markforged Onyx One

Best Metal Printer

Price: $4,794.
Print volume: 320x132x154 mm.
Layer thickness: 100-200 µm.

Pros:

  • reliable and durable prints,
  • all in one desktop case.

Cons:

  • expensive,
  • metal filament spools are expensive.

Onyx One prints out of durable metal, but the parts are actually carbon fiber. The main reason for choosing this technology is that although powdered metal filaments are available, they instantly destroy extruder nozzles, making the production of metal objects prohibitively expensive. Markforged solves this problem with a best-in-class desktop solution. So if you're looking for durable and reliable parts, this printer should be on your list. Just remember that a spool of filament can be quite expensive. nine0003

Creality Ender 3

Best Budget FDM 3D Printer

Price: $223.
Print volume: 220x220x250 mm.
Layer thickness: 100 µm.

Pros:

  • high quality components,
  • ease of use.

Cons:

  • open chassis,
  • The typing sound can be quite loud.

Ender's line of 3D printers are renowned for their superior performance at an affordable price. And Ender 3 is a perfect example of this. At this price, you would think that Black Friday lasts all year round. Creality has somehow managed to inject some of the highest quality components into Ender 3. The printer comes in kit form, which may not be to everyone's liking, but the assembly process actually gives you a good idea of ​​how the printer works and can help with troubleshooting if there are any in the future. nine0003

Formlabs Form 3

Best SLA Printer

Price: $3499.
Print volume: 145x145x185 mm.
Layer thickness: 15 µm.

Pros:

  • easy replacement of material cartridges,
  • no layer visibility.

Cons:

  • expensive,
  • additional costs for obtaining a medical version.
The

Formlabs Form 3 and its predecessor Form 2 set the benchmark for SLA printers (3D printing technology based on the layer-by-layer curing of a liquid material under the action of a laser beam). And the FormLabs Form 3 is by far the best printer on the market. This is a rather expensive product, but the quality of the results speaks for itself. Products are obtained with invisible layers, and the printer itself is equipped with a system that allows you to remove the finished product without the use of cutters. In addition to the impeccable print quality, the big advantage here is the ease of use. Changing media is as easy as replacing a cartridge on a conventional printer. For a little more, you will have access to biomaterials for use in dentistry and medicine. Oh, and the PreForm software is simple and intuitive too. nine0003

3Doodler

Best Portable 3D Printer

Price: $49.99

Pros:

  • you can take it anywhere,
  • No print volume limit.

Cons:

  • expensive consumables,
  • print quality is up to you.

One of the biggest limitations for 3D printing is the fixed volume. But since 3Doodler is a 3D printing pen, here you can print projects of any size. The cost of consumables can be quite high, especially if you are trying to model a car in 1:1 scale. What's more, it's fantastic fun to pick up a pen from a table top and draw lines in the air with plastic ink. The threads come in different colors, so you can consider it an added plus. But the downside is that you will have to rely only on yourself for printing accuracy, since the extruder is entirely in your hands, and not on rails. Several models are available, including 3Doodler Start (for kids) and a Pro version. nine0003

EasythreeD K5

Best budget option, safe for kids

Price: $99.99.
Print volume: 80x80x100 mm.
Layer thickness: 100-400 µm.

Pros:

  • affordable entry point to 3D printing,
  • fun and safety for kids.

Cons:

  • tiny build platform,
  • medium print quality.

It's hard not to love the EasythreeD K5 for its attractive looks and ease of use. This model on our list of the best 3D printers won't cost you much more than a couple of weeks of buying coffee to go. This is an enjoyable first 3D printing experience, so the device can be forgiven for its tiny printable area. nine0003

Markforged Offers Affordable Onyx Carbon Fiber Composite 3D Printer

News

Markforged has announced the Onyx One 3D printer, a more affordable variant of the flagship Mark Two designed to work with Onyx proprietary filament.

Onyx is a carbon-filled nylon composite material. The material went on sale in the summer of this year. This is the first composite rod in the Markforged range. So far, the company has focused its efforts on printing with nylon with various reinforcing additives, but using continuous fibers applied separately. The complexity of the technology has led to a high cost of printers - the flagship Mark Two, capable of printing with fiberglass, Kevlar and carbon fiber, is priced at $ 13,500. The new version is less capable, but more affordable - the base version of the Onyx One has a selling price of $ 3,500.

In fact, Onex One is a step backwards - a professional FDM printer, sharpened for printing with a ready-made composite. The Onyx filament is reinforced with chopped carbon fiber, and therefore you should not rely on too high strength characteristics. However, the composite is about twice as stiff and strong as regular nylon. If that's not enough, a second variant of the 3D printer called the Onyx Pro is available. This model is equipped with a double head that allows Onyx products to be reinforced with continuous fiberglass fibres. The cost of a complete Onyx Pro system is already $7,000, but the dual head is available as an upgrade to the base version. Finally, the Onyx Pro can be optionally upgraded to the Mark Two, the most capable desktop 3D printer in the company's portfolio. The size of the construction area does not depend on the printer version and is 330x250x200 mm.
