| Identity | ||
| Brand | Markforged | Markforged |
| Class | INDUSTRIAL | INDUSTRIAL |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | Markforged Onyx One Desktop 3D Printer[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] |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | The defining limitation: the Onyx One prints Onyx only and has NO continuous-fibre reinforcement. The Onyx Pro adds fibreglass, the Mark Two adds the full continuous-fibre range, and the X7 is a much larger industrial machine. Onyx One specifications must never be read from Mark Two or X-series material lists[1][4][2] | 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 | 12.6 x 5.2 x 6.1 in (approximately 320 x 132 x 155 mm)[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) | Not documented | 48 kg[2] |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Enclosed desktop cabinet[1] | Enclosed industrial cabinet[2] |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | Not documented | Continuous fibre deposition combined with fused filament fabrication[2] |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | Single extruder — plastic only, no fibre channel[1] | Not documented |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Stock nozzle size & sizes included in box | Not documented | Layer resolution down to 0.05 mm in Z[2] |
| Firmware & Openness | ||
| Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary) | Proprietary; slicing and print management run in Markforged's cloud-based Eiger software[1] | Not documented |
| Materials Support | ||
| Officially supported filament list | Onyx only — Markforged's nylon filled with chopped carbon fibre. Markforged claims parts 1.4x stronger than ABS and heat deflection to 293 °F (145 °C)[1] | 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] |
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.
