|---|---|---|
| Identity | ||
| Brand | Anycubic | Markforged |
| Class | RESIN | INDUSTRIAL |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Max[1] | Markforged X7, current generation listed as Gen 2[2][3] |
| Release date (announcement and actual shipping) | Not documented | Gen 2 dated 2022[2] |
| Launch MSRP (USD) | Not documented | Approximately $69,900 USD (Aniwaa quotes the same figure in EUR)[2] |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | $749 advertised base sale/from price; $899 compare-at, not launch MSRP. Global USD storefront, Other plug/no resin selected; US price, availability, shipping and tax require checkout. Checked 2026-10-17.[1] | Not documented |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | Not documented | Top of the X series (X3, X5, X7). Markforged's other industrial lines are different machines entirely: FX10 (CA$139,986), FX20 (CA$335,860) and Metal X Gen 2 (CA$153,986). The X7 is a composite FFF machine, not a metal printer. Pricing note: No live USD listing found. CAD Micro lists the X7 (Gen 2) at CA$90,986.00, checked Aug 2026 — Canadian dollars, not USD[3][2] |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 298 × 164 × 300 mm (X × Y × Z), advertised 14.7 L; usable volume not independently measured.[1] | 330 x 270 x 200 mm (Aniwaa records 17.82 L)[2] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | Not documented | 584 x 483 x 914 mm[2] |
| Net weight (kg) | 24 kg (manufacturer specification)[1] | 48 kg[2] |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Not documented | Enclosed industrial cabinet[2] |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | Not documented | Continuous fibre deposition combined with fused filament fabrication[2] |
| Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlash | Dual linear Z rails; manufacturer states 10 µm precision.[1] | Not documented |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Stock nozzle size & sizes included in box | Not documented | Layer resolution down to 0.05 mm in Z[2] |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | Laser-engraved aluminium build plate[1] | Not documented |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | Four-point manual leveling[1] | Not documented |
| Electronics & Power | ||
| PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage) | 180 W power supply (manufacturer specification; not measured consumption)[1] | Not documented |
| Connectivity, UI & Camera | ||
| Display: size, type, touch? | 4.3-inch touchscreen[1] | Not documented |
| WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-drive | USB and Wi-Fi; store still labels LAN as scheduled, so availability is unverified.[1] | Not documented |
| Materials Support | ||
| Officially supported filament list | Not documented | Composites with carbon, glass and Kevlar-reinforced polymers; elastomers (TPU); thermoplastics including PLA and PA-CF. Markforged's continuous fibre strands are carbon, fibreglass or Kevlar laid inside Onyx[2] |
| Resin & MSLA | ||
| Masking LCD | 13.6-inch monochrome 7K masking LCD, 46 × 46 µm XY pixel pitch (manufacturer specification)[1] | Not documented |
| Light source | COB + Fresnel lens + light-uniformity algorithm[1] | Not documented |
| Light uniformity & intensity | 4500 ±10% µW/cm² (manufacturer specification)[1] | Not documented |
| Vertical print speedmm/h | Standard resin: ≤31 mm/h at 0.05 mm layers; ≤63 mm/h at 0.1 mm. High-speed resin: ≤86 mm/h at 0.1 mm. Manufacturer table also labels ≤63 mm/h as maximum; headline figures differ. No independent measurement added.[1] | Not documented |
| Layer height range | 0.01–0.15 mm layer height[1] | Not documented |
| Release film | Improved ACF film (manufacturer description)[1] | Not documented |
| Resin vat & feeding | ≤1.3 L vat, dynamic resin temperature control and auto-fill/recycling support (manufacturer specifications).[1] | Not documented |
| Fume extraction | Optional air purifier; filtration efficacy not independently verified.[1] | Not documented |
Manufacturer claims, independent measurements, packages and test conditions retain their source wording. FDM linear speed and resin vertical speed use different units and are not directly comparable. Unknown values are marked “Not documented”. Prices and source dates remain historical snapshots; check the linked guide for product details. Differences highlight text, not a universal winner.
