Markforged Introduces the world ’ s first metal & advanced composite industrial 3D printer
Markforged Holding Corporation ( NYSE : MKFG ), the company strengthening manufacturing resiliency by enabling industrial production at the point of need , today announced the FX10 Metal Kit , a print engine that brings metal printing capability to the FX10 . With this kit , the FX10 becomes the world ’ s first industrial 3D printer that can print both metal filaments and composites with continuous fibre reinforcement .
“ Customers no longer have to choose between a metal and a composite printer . Years of R & D investment and field experience have come together to provide an all-in-one solution for 3D printing to provide immediate return on investment once installed on a factory floor ,” said Shai Terem , CEO of Markforged . “ The FX10 supercharges other equipment on the factory floor to be better utilized and run more efficiently , increasing productivity and reducing potential line down events .”
The FX10 , released in November 2023 as a composite only printer , was designed to be the most versatile tool on the factory floor and has received tremendous feedback from early customers . With its modular architecture , upgrades like the Metal Kit enable customers of the FX10 to gain additional value from the machine after purchase .
Markforged also announced a new 316L stainless steel metal filament to be used with the FX10 Metal Kit . Users will also be able to print in 17-4PH with additional support for other Markforged metal filaments in the future .
