Markforged Desktop Series
Professional desktop 3D printers for strong, reliable parts, from functional prototypes to end-use parts
What is the Markforged Desktop Series?
The Markforged Desktop Series is a lineup of professional 3D printers that bring industrial-strength composite 3D printing to a desktop format. Built on the Markforged platform, these printers combine reliable hardware, advanced materials, and continuous fiber reinforcement to produce strong, durable parts for engineering and manufacturing applications.
Engineers use the Desktop Series to create functional prototypes, tooling, and MRO parts where strength, reliability, and speed matter.
The Markforged Desktop Series Printers
The Desktop Series includes two printers, each designed to meet a specific set of needs and applications.
The Onyx Pro is the entry point into continuous fiber reinforcement, enabling printing with continuous fiberglass to produce strong, durable parts. It’s ideal for engineers creating functional prototypes, tooling, and MRO parts where added strength is needed.
The Mark Two is the premium model in the Desktop Series, supporting the full range of continuous fiber reinforcement materials, including carbon fiber, Kevlar®, and HSHT fiberglass. It’s ideal for engineers who need to produce parts with strength comparable to machined aluminum.
