Markforged Release Aerospace-Ready Materials4 August 2021 Leading manufacturer of industrial 3D printing technologies, Markforged, has released two new materials, purpose built for the requirements of the aerospace industry. The two new materials, Onyx FR-A and Carbon Fiber FR-A, are compatible with the Markforged Industrial Range (X3, X5) and Markforged X7 industrial 3D printer, and are set to bring huge advantages and capabilities to aerospace manufacturers.
The Onyx FR-A material is a flame-retardant micro carbon fibre filled Nylon designed for use in applications where parts must be non-flammable. Onyx FR-A material earned a UL Blue Card, and is considered V-0 (self extinguishing) at thicknesses greater than or equal to 3mm. The Carbon Fibre FR-A is a flame-retardant variant of Markforged’s unique ultra-high-strength Continuous Carbon Fibre. Both FR-A materials come with lot-level material traceability documentation and pass the test suite necessary for qualification under 14 CFR 25.853 for most 3D printable parts.
