The Complete, End-to-End Metal 3D Printing Solution from Markforged
The Markforged Metal X is the most accessible way to fabricate your complex metal parts in a wide variety of metals. Metal 3D printing is significantly less expensive than tradition methods, like machining or casting, and the Metal X is one of the most affordable machines available.
Unlike traditional powder-based metal 3D printers, the Metal X uses metal powder bound in plastic, eliminating the risks and infrastructure costs related to hazardous powder handling. This makes it perfect for your office or shop and much less expensive to operate. Now you can go from design to fully functional metal parts quickly, safely, and affordably.

17-4 Stainless Steel
This strong, corrosion-resistant material is ideal for most metal printing
applications. 17-4 is also the least expensive metal material in the
Markforged portfolio.
H13 Tool Steel
This material is harder than 17-4 with a higher heat resistance. H13
hardness rating is 40HRC as-sintered and can be heat treated to obtain a
45HRC rating.
A2 Tool Steel
This very hard and wear-resistant material is great for cold-work forming
tools and cutting equipment. The A2 has a hardness rating of 52HRC
as-sintered and can be heat treated to obtain a 60HRC rating.
D2 Tool Steel
D2 is the hardest and most wear-resistant material in the Markforged
portfolio but less tough than A2 tool steel. D2 has a hardness rating of
54HRC as-sintered and can be heat treated to obtain a 60HRC rating.
Inconel 625
This material is a superalloy that is a highly corrosion-resistant and
heat-resistant material perfect for the harshest environments. Inconel
maintains an ultimate tensile strength of 500MPa at 600ºC.
Copper
This material with high electrical and thermal conductive properties is
great for heat sinks, bus bars, and induction coils. Thermal Conductivity:
350 W/mK. Electrical Conductivity: 84% IACS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What maintenance does the Metal X
require?
You will need to keep the printer clean, and you will occasionally need to
tension the belts, change the upper and lower feed tubes, and change the
nozzles.
Are there different infill patterns
that can be selected?
Yes, you can choose between triangular, gyroid, and solid infill.
Does the Metal X require
ventilation?
The Metal X printer itself does not require ventilation, but the other two
machines in the system, the Wash-1 and Sinter-1 or Sinter-2 all require
ventilation.
What is the difference between the
Sinter-1 and Sinter-2
The Sinter-1 is smaller, and does not have stackable seter plates, both of
which limit the part size and number of parts you can fit in each run. The
Sinter-2, aside from being much larger, also has the ability to do express
runs for producing smaller volumes of parts in an expedited timeframe
What is included in the Metal X
system?
The Metal X system includes the Metal X 3D printer, the Wash-1, and either
the Sinter-1 or Sinter-2.
How long does the wash and sinter
process take?
While this will vary based on print settings, part geometry, and material,
the wash process takes around 12 hours, the drying process takes around 4
hours, and the sintering process takes around 27 hours. Keep in mind that
multiple parts can be processed per cycle in that time frame.
Is the bed or chamber heated on the
Metal X?
Yes. To ensure that the bound metal material is printable, both the
chamber and the bed of the Metal X are heated.
Do the Sinter-1 and Sinter-2 have
any consumables?
Yes, both furnaces will consume ultra-high purity argon gas from either a
CLC/Dewar or a cylinder multi pack, hydrogen/argon mix gas from cylinders,
exhaust filters, and gas supply filters.
Are the metal materials dangerous?
No. Unlike other powder-based metal 3d printers, the Metal X uses a
polymer and wax bound metal powder which eliminates any hazard that this
material might pose.
