Markforged Industrial Series
Industrial-scale printing of high-strength parts with precision sensing and automation, built for the factory floor.
What is the Markforged Industrial Series?
The Markforged Industrial Series is a line of industrial-grade 3D printers designed to produce high-strength composite and metal parts for manufacturing environments. These systems are used to create functional tooling, jigs and fixtures, and end-use parts with accuracy and repeatability that can replace traditionally machined components.
Key capabilities include:
Continuous fiber reinforcement (carbon fiber, Kevlar) for added strength
In-process inspection using built-in laser measurement
Automated material management for consistent, unattended printing
Production-ready performance for factory floor use, not just prototyping
Manufacturers use the Industrial Series to reduce lead times, lower tooling costs, and bring more production in-house while maintaining part quality and consistency.
The Markforged Industrial Series Printers
Purpose-built for demanding applications, each system in the Industrial Series is designed to deliver durable, production-ready parts with minimal operator intervention.
The Markforged X7 is a turnkey industrial 3D printer built for producing strong, functional parts with precision and consistency. Its dual-nozzle system enables continuous fiber reinforcement with materials like carbon fiber and Kevlar, while a built-in laser micrometer verifies dimensional accuracy during the print process.
Ideal for jigs, fixtures, tooling, and end-use parts where strength and repeatability are essential.
The FX10 is a next-generation industrial platform designed for higher throughput and long-term flexibility. It offers significantly faster print speeds than the X7, a heated chamber for improved material performance, and automated spool changeover to reduce downtime.
Its modular design also allows it to be upgraded to support metal printing, making it a scalable solution for teams looking to expand from composite parts into metal applications on the same platform.
The FX20 is Markforged’s largest and most advanced composite 3D printer, built for high-temperature, high-strength applications in aerospace, automotive, and defense. It delivers exceptional part strength and consistency at scale, with a heated build chamber designed for advanced materials.
When paired with the PX100 or PX200, manufacturers can scale production with automated part handling and continuous throughput, enabling true additive manufacturing workflows for high-volume environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Markforged Industrial Printers
What is the Markforged Industrial Series?
The Markforged Industrial Series is a lineup of advanced, factory-ready 3D printers designed to produce high-strength composite and metal parts. These printers are engineered for reliability, accuracy, and throughput, making them ideal for manufacturing tooling, fixtures, and end-use production parts.
What is the difference between the Markforged Industrial Series printers?
The Markforged X7 is a proven, dedicated composite printer with in-process inspection capabilities. The Markforged FX10 is the next-generation platform, offering a larger build volume, faster print speeds, automated material changeover, and the ability to upgrade to metal printing. The FX20 is the largest and fastest printer in the lineup, designed for massive, high-performance parts.
What materials can Markforged Industrial Series printers use?
The Industrial Series supports a wide range of engineering-grade materials, including Onyx, Onyx FR (flame retardant), and Onyx ESD. For reinforcement, they utilize continuous Carbon Fiber, Kevlar, and Fiberglass. The FX10 can also be upgraded to print metals like 17-4PH Stainless Steel and H13 Tool Steel.
Can Markforged Industrial Series printers replace machined aluminum parts?
Yes, parts printed on the Industrial Series and reinforced with continuous carbon fiber can exhibit strength and stiffness comparable to 6061-T6 aluminum. This allows manufacturers to replace heavy, expensive machined metal tooling with lightweight, 3D-printed composite parts.
How does Markforged Industrial Series 3D printing compare to traditional manufacturing?
The Industrial Series offers a significant advantage in speed and cost for low-volume production, custom tooling, and prototyping. It allows you to bring manufacturing in-house, eliminating costly lead times, reducing inventory overhead, and enabling rapid design iteration without the need for expensive CNC machining setups.
