Markforged is the first company to offer 3D printed continuous fibers, enabling composite parts robust enough to replace machined metal.
Looking to unlock stronger 3D printed parts by 3D printing with composite filaments? In this video, we discuss the two forms of 3D printing composite fibers like carbon fiber, fiberglass, and Kevlar.

Our materials:
Carbon Fiber is a stiff and strong fiber that behaves like 6061 Aluminum, so it can be used for lightweight components that support heavy loads.
Fiberglass is a sturdy, cost-effective reinforcing material with some compliance to it. It boosts part strength above that of plastics and is a good starting point for printing with reinforcement.
Kevlar has high toughness and shock resistance, making it ideal for shock-loading and high-impact conditions. It bends instead of breaking.
High Strength High Temperature (HSHT) Fiberglass maintains its strength and stiffness at high temperatures because of its high heat-deflection temperature. Its heat resistance allows it to hold up in more extreme environments.
