FX20 | Industrial Composite 3D Printer
Financing options available.
Product Info
State-of-the-Art Hardware, Electronics, and Software
The FX20 is the largest and most precise machine Markforged has ever produced.
This large format 3D printer features an 84L heated build chamber and massive, verified-flat vacuum bed with print sheets. The motion control system offers closed loop control through precision linear encoders, and is tuned to move the 3kg print head rapidly and accurately. FX20’s turbo mode builds parts faster than any Markforged machine, while new XL spools offer four times the material without spool changeover.
The FX20 is remarkably easy to use. It features a 7 inch touchscreen from which users can control every aspect of the printer. Automated calibration and leveling reduces operator input, while a wide variety of sensors give live feedback on machine performance. A material bay contains two active XL spools and can store two more with precise moisture control.

Production-Ready Performance
An ULTEM™ Filament capable large format 3D printer for big, strong, high temp parts — usable from factory floor to flight.
Materials
Onyx® (Plastic)
Onyx® — the flagship Composite Base material — is a micro carbon fiber filled nylon that yields accurate parts with near flawless surface finish. Few materials have the versatility of Onyx; it offers high strength, toughness, and chemical resistance when printed alone, and can be reinforced with Continuous Fibers to yield aluminum-strength parts. Today, there are more than a million Onyx parts in the field transforming manufacturing.
Vega™
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.
ULTEM™ 9085 Filament
ULTEM™ 9085 Filament is Markforged’s first high temperature printing polymer. It’s an extremely durable thermoplastic that exhibits excellent flame, smoke, and toxicity (FST) characteristics. Usable in production aerospace applications, ULTEM™ Filament brings Markforged’s CFR technology to a new realm of parts. ULTEM™ Filament is available in Markforged’s new 3200cc XL spool — four times larger than our standard spools.
Onyx FR™
Onyx FR is a flame-retardant variant of Onyx designed for use in applications where parts must be non-flammable. The material earned a UL Blue Card, and is considered V-0 (self extinguishing) at thicknesses greater than or equal to 3mm. It can be reinforced with any Continuous Fiber and is compatible with industrial composite 3D printers.
Carbon Fiber
Carbon Fiber is Markforged’s unique, ultra-high-strength Continuous Fiber — when laid into a Composite Base material like Onyx, it can yield parts as strong as 6061-T6 Aluminum. It’s extremely stiff and strong, and can be automatically laid down in a wide variety of geometries by Markforged 3D printers. A special Carbon Fiber variant is compatible with ULTEM™ 9085 Filament.
Carbon Fiber FR
Carbon Fiber FR is a flame-retardant variant of Markforged’s unique, ultra-high-strength Continuous Carbon Fiber — when used to reinforce a Composite Base material like Onyx FR, it can yield parts as strong as 6061-T6 Aluminum. It’s extremely stiff and strong, and can be precisely laid down in a wide variety of geometries. Programmatically trace curved features, reinforce holes, and mimic unidirectional fiber layups — all within a few clicks.
Simple and safe workflow designed for any business.
