Markforged Onyx One

The Markforged Onyx One is a desktop 3D printer designed for engineers and designers in small to medium-sized companies. This printer aims to bring professional-grade reliability, part quality, and accuracy to a desktop form factor, according to the vendor. It is commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and consumer packaged goods to create durable and high-quality parts using Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technology.

Key Features

Unibody aluminum chassis: The Onyx One features a durable unibody aluminum chassis that is designed to provide stability and reliability during the printing process, according to the vendor. It is built to withstand long print hours, ensuring lasting performance.

Precision-machined components: Equipped with precision-machined components, this printer is said to offer a high level of accuracy and part quality, according to the vendor. These components are carefully crafted to ensure precise movements and consistent results.

Onyx material: The Onyx One utilizes Markforged's micro carbon fiber filled nylon material called Onyx. According to the vendor, Onyx offers excellent heat resistance, surface finish, and chemical resistance, making it a versatile material for various applications.

FFF printing process: The Onyx One utilizes the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) printing process, which involves melting a thermoplastic filament and depositing it layer by layer to create a 3D object. This process, according to the vendor, allows for the creation of complex geometries and robust parts.

Closed cell infill: The internal part geometry of the printed objects is filled with a closed cell infill structure, providing additional strength and rigidity to the parts, as claimed by the vendor. This enhances the overall durability of the printed parts.

Triangular default infill: The default infill pattern for the Onyx One is triangular, which, according to the vendor, offers a good balance between strength and material usage. This pattern is said to optimize the structural integrity of the printed parts.

Precision ground composite print bed: Equipped with a precision ground composite print bed, the Onyx One aims to ensure a flat and stable surface for printing, according to the vendor. This bed provides a consistent base for accurate and reliable printing results.

Wide build volume: With a wide build volume of 320mm (width) x 132mm (depth) x 154mm (height), the Onyx One allows for the creation of larger parts or multiple smaller parts in a single print job, according to the vendor.

Z layer resolution: The printer offers a Z layer resolution range of 100 μm to 200 μm, as claimed by the vendor. This range allows for the adjustment of layer thickness to achieve the desired level of detail and surface finish.

Composite base filaments: The Onyx One is compatible with composite base filaments, according to the vendor. These filaments can be combined with other materials to enhance specific properties or achieve desired characteristics in the printed parts.
