FX20 vs X7

Comparing the Markforged FX20 and X7: Key Differences

Markforged offers two distinctive high-performance ranges for composite printing with carbon fibre reinforcement capabilities. The FX20 serves organisations seeking larger production capacity with aerospace-grade materials, while the X7 targets workshops needing precision parts within space constraints. Both printers use Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) as their base technology and reinforce builds

Exploring the FX20’s versatility and applications across industries

The FX20 transforms manufacturing floors with high-temp engineering materials reinforced with continuous fibre. Continuous fibre reinforcement builds stronger, stiffer, and more durable parts than filled and unfilled plastics by reinforcing a part’s perimeter, select features, or entire layers with carbon fibre. The FX20 also prints ULTEM™ 9085 – a high-strength,
