A flame-retardant plastic that strengthens continuous carbon fiber for 3D printing

Traditional 3d-printed plastic will burn if caught on fire, but the new material is self-extinguishing, so it actually prevents combustion.Onyx FR offers unmatched strength, superior printing quality, high surface finish – and fire resistance.

Markforged vice President of products Jon Reilly:

“Manufacturers chose Markforged because our industrial 3D printers provide powerful, lightweight end-use components at a tremendous cost and time savings.Onyx FR opens up more 3D printing applications in the automotive, aerospace and defense industries because it meets higher fire safety standards.When reinforced with continuous carbon-fibre strands, the parts weigh only half as much as aircraft-grade aluminium.“
