D2 Tool Steel v2 represents Markforged's latest steel printing material evolution. This enhanced material retains the same metal powder composition as version 1, but introduces a new binder formula, resulting in a more robust and flexible filament. This upgrade streamlines material handling boosts print success rates, and yields stronger and more versatile parts.

The great news is that adopting D2 Tool Steel v2 doesn't necessitate any hardware upgrades. It seamlessly integrates with the Metal X (Gen 1), Metal X (Gen 2), Wash-1, Sinter-1, and Sinter-2, ensuring compatibility across various systems.

D2 Tool Steel, a high carbon and high chromium air-hardening tool steel, offers exceptional heat treatability, resulting in high hardness and impressive compressive strength. It is known for its outstanding wear resistance and is commonly used in various cold work applications that require sharp edges, resistance to abrasion, and compressive strength. Markforged D2 Tool Steel meets the chemical requirements specified in ASTM A681, ensuring quality and compliance with industry standards.

Why did Markforged created D2 V2 material?

They pursued this revised v2 formulation of D2 Tool Steel because they believe that it is superior in quality and user experience to D2 v1.

What are the benefits of D2 V2?

Easy to Handle: D2 Tool Steel v2 is a flexible filament, made possible by the new binding material. The filament is easy to handle at room temperature, easy to store, and far less fragile than v1 filament.
Faster to Load: D2 Tool Steel v2 can be loaded in an unheated chamber, reducing startup and material changeover time significantly.
Larger Spools: D2 Tool Steel v2 spools contain 400cc of material, twice as much as v1. Two times fewer material changeovers and two times larger prints without having to change material.
Material Properties: D2 Tool Steel v2 material properties are slightly higher than v1 material properties

Delivery and Returns

DELIVERY BY ADDITIVE-X

BOXES SHIP VIA DPD

Order by 4.45pm Monday to Friday (excl Bank Holidays) and Additive-X will ship your order via DPD the same day. DPD will deliver on working days only.

Depending on your postcode your options at checkout will include DPD NEXT DAY, DPD 12:00 and DPD 10:30 options. Some postcodes will show "DPD TWO DAY".

Shipping to Ireland (Northern or Republic of) is a “DAP” service which means you have to pay any Duty and Taxes. Business customers must email us their EORI and UKIMS numbers.

PALLETS DON'T SHIP VIA DPD - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Some units can only be shipped safely on a pallet due to weight and/or size. Cut off time for orders shipping by pallet is 1.30pm, that’s because we need to book the job before 2pm.

Pallets are big and they ship on big lorries! If there is any problem with a dustbin-lorry size vehicle accessing your property, you need to let us know and we can request delivery by a smaller 7.5T lorry. If this is the case, then PALLET NEXT DAY may not be available.

Depending on your postcode your options at checkout will include PALLET NEXT DAY, PALLET 2-3 DAYS, PALLET COLLECTION HG4 2RN (organise your own pick-up). Some postcodes will show “PALLET 5-6 DAYS” etc.
Pallet deliveries are between 09.00 and 17.00 and we are unable to give you the ETA in advance.

We use a very reliable local supplier, and the pallets go in to the “Palletforce” network. Currently the network don’t use tracking numbers and you can't track online (coming in 2026). Call or email us to check on a delivery or collection.
