Carbon Fiber 3D Printing Applications: How Continuous Fiber Reinforcement Opens Up Industrial Use Cases
Continuous Fiber Reinforcement (CFR) is quickly driving the adoption of carbon fiber 3D printing among modern manufacturers, but how do these reinforced FFF parts fit into your current manufacturing operations? In this white paper, we’ll show you how you can transform your business with functional 3D printed parts.

The X7 prints Composite Base filaments like a conventional FFF thermoplastic. Bases can be printed alone or reinforced with any of our composite reinforcement materials, including Carbon Fiber. Composite base materials are plastic based and can contain some volume of chopped carbon fiber.
Only Markforged printers can lay down Continuous Fiber Reinforcement inside of parts through a second nozzle. These fibers cannot be printed alone and are used to reinforce parts printed out of a composite base material like Onyx.
