Description
The Markforged Mark Two is a professional desktop 3D printer that uses Continuous Fiber Reinforcement (CFR) to produce parts with the strength of machined aluminum—ideal for tooling, functional prototypes, and end-use components.
Features
The Mark Two uses a two-head system: one extruder for base thermoplastic (like Onyx or Nylon), and another for continuous fiber.
Supported fibers: carbon fiber, fiberglass, Kevlar (aramid), and HSHT (high strength, high temperature) fiberglass.
By embedding continuous fiber in the part, you can produce parts that rival aluminum in strength.
Base plastics: Onyx (nylon mixed with micro-carbon fiber) and Nylon White.
Other supported materials (depending on source): precise PLA, smooth TPU.
The fiber reinforcement can significantly boost mechanical properties: e.g., carbon fiber gives very high stiffness and strength.
Print bed uses kinematic coupling, and is flat within ~160 µm
Designed for industrial-grade reliability; used to make strong functional parts like jigs, fixtures, tooling – things that would otherwise be machined from metal.
The hardened extrusion system is built to handle abrasive materials like Onyx for thousands of hours
