Why Choose Markforged Metal X?

Quality Parts, Fast

The Metal X is purpose-built for consistent part quality and a seamless user experience. Markforged combines superb software, materials research, and an advanced motion system to deliver industrial-grade parts quickly and reliably.

Safe and Affordable

The Metal X is designed to be safe to use and accessible for all fabricators. It costs several times less than DMLS metal 3D printing systems and requires no dedicated operator, no powder management system, and minimal PPE.

Simple, Yet Powerful

The Metal X is one of the most intuitive metal 3D printers available today. Print a wide range of materials from stainless steels to copper with minimal training on a closed workflow. Scaling up capacity is easy; just add printers.

One Minute With the Metal X

The Metal X Solution

Metal X

Affordable, reliable, and easy to use, the Metal X print system gives you everything you need to go from design to fully functional metal parts faster than ever before.

Wash - 1

The first step in transforming a printed “green” part into fully dense metal is debinding.This step purifies the final metal part and keeps your sintering furnace clean.

Sinter - 2

With an expansive active hot zone (19,644 cm3 / 1,199 in3), the Sinter-2 creates high-purity metal parts by using sintering technology built with a carbon-free retort.

Real World Use Cases and Results

Shukla Medical: Prototype Metal Parts
Stanley Black & Decker: Actuator Housing

Prototype Metal Parts

Shukla Medical Develops Prototype Surgical Tools with Markforged Metal X

Using 17-4 PH Stainless Steel, Shukla Medical is able to prototype in the same material as many of their final products. They now utilize their composite 3D printer for initial prototypes, and then the Metal X system for the final prototype that goes into the hands of surgeons for evaluation.

Results

  • Saved $10,000 per month.
  • 430 days saved.
  • Achieved ROI in 1 year

Replacement Metal Parts

Stanley Black & Decker

The original actuator housing consisted of four parts - a cast and machined main housing, lasercut cover plate, and two bolts to fasten the housing assembly together. Stanley Infrastructure engineers worked with Markforged to redesign the part for printing on the Metal X. Instead of a four part assembly, the redesigned part prints in one piece without support material, saving manufacturing and engineering time.

Results

  • Saved 92% on single component fabrication
  • Saved 95% time on single component fabrication

Why Choose Markforged FX20?

Massive Builds, Faster

FX20 pairs size and throughput to make large parts at
incredible speeds. The FX20 build chamber is 84L —
nearly 5x larger than the Markforged X7. Its completely
redesigned motion and extrusion systems enable
high-speed printing without sacrificing quality.

Production-Ready

FX20 is a precise, sensor-driven machine that delivers
breakthrough reliability with a simple user experience.
Fully integrated storage and handling ensures materials
stay dry for printing, while sensors measure each part
of the extrusion system.

From Factory to Perfection

The FX20 extends The Digital Forge’s benefits to new industries, producing tooling, fixtures, and flight-ready parts. It also reinforces high-temperature plastics with CFR technology, bringing high-strength
3D printed composites to even more demanding
applications.

‍
Vega is Markforged’s first engineered high temperature plastic — an ultra high-performance carbon fiber filled PEKK for 3D printing critical aerospace parts. Vega can be reinforced with continuous fiber to achieve aluminum strength for replacing structural, non-critical aerospace components. It exhibits a smooth black matte surface finish that is excellent for production parts with minimal post processing.
