Markforged Announces Onyx One

Markforged has introduced the Onyx One, the company’s first plastic-only printer. With the Onyx Series launch, there will be a Turbo Print speed option available to all Markforged owners to significantly reduce print time for select parts. The system will be available Q1 of 2017.

Made of chopped carbon fiber within nylon for twice the strength and stiffness of pure plastic, parts printed in Onyx have a carbon black finish directly off the printer. The material is designed for end-use applications as well as prototyping with a finished look requiring no post-processing, the company states.

“Our belief is that every designer and engineer should have broad access to strong, elegant parts from a reliable printer they love to use.” says 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.”
