5 Things To Know About Markforged Onyx ESD
Markforged has released an exciting new polymer for Industrial printers called Onyx ESD. Here are 5 things you need to know about this new material.
1. Electrostatic Safe – Onyx ESD is neither an insulator nor a conductor. The material is designed to possess a precise range of electrical resistance properties to allow the discharge of static electricity that might build up and damage sensitive circuitry. Onyx ESD is the perfect material for any part that interfaces directly with circuit boards such as fixtures or housings.
2. Strength – The Onyx ESD polymer is stronger and stiffer than any other Markforged base material, making it suitable for a wide range of parts beyond just electronic equipment. Flexural Strength is 83 MPa vs 71 MPa for standard Onyx.
3. Reinforcement – Onyx ESD polymer can be reinforced with any continuous fiber reinforcement material and still retain its ESD rating, meaning parts can be built up to 10x stronger than any other ESD material available on the market.
4. Ready to Use – The Onyx ESD material can be ordered now! The latest Eiger update provides Onyx ESD as an option so you can start checking part costs with the new polymer now!
