FX20 3D Printer Produces High-Temperature, Reinforced Thermoplastics
The company says the Markforged printer enables the robust production of lightweight, advanced composite parts.
The Markforged FX20
Markforged’s FX20 is launching the biggest, fastest and most sophisticated 3D printer it has ever produced. It is designed to work with the company’s integrated metal and carbon fiber additive manufacturing (AM) platform, The Digital Forge.
Together with the company’s state-of-the-art software and materials, the FX20 was developed to transform the Digital Forge into a next-generation AM platform capable of printing high-temperature thermoplastics reinforced with continuous fiber at the click of a button.
By printing high-strength, more accurate and higher performance parts, the FX20 will meet the needs of even the most demanding and regulated industries, such as aerospace, defense, automotive, and oil and gas, the company says.
The company says that the combination of hardware and software will enable its customers to count on Markforged for production of the end-use, mission critical parts that are required to overcome the limitations of traditional manufacturing. “This builds resilient and sustainable supply chains that extend directly to the point-of-need,” Terem says.
