Description
Obsidian PA6+CF
filament was formulated to be a lower-cost drop-in Markforged Onyx
Alternative suitable for all Markforged printers. We developed this material
after extensive analysis and testing on our own in-house Markforged printer
and many outside beta testers. The result is a seamless printing experience
that produces parts with an outstanding appearance and excellent mechanical
properties. Made using premium high-modulus carbon fiber and PA6 copolymer,
Obsidian™ is an excellent alternative to Onyx that allows our customers to
save money when using your Markforged printer. Don’t have a Markforged printer? That’s no problem – Obsidian is also compatible with all non-Markforged printers that are suitable for printing PA6+CF. Take advantage of the excellent strength, stiffness, and appearance of this specialty material without over spending on Markforged Onyx. |

Material DETAILS
Glass Fiber Reinforced Filament
What Is It?
DescriptionFibers made of glass reinforced into the polymer during manufacturing and aligned along the axis of filament.
This, along with their physical makeup, give this material enormous strength and mechanical properties.
What Does It Do?
Glass fiber reinforcement gives material a lot of desirable properties:
High strength
High stiffness
High chemical resistance
Low thermal expansion
How Does It Work?
Reinforcing plastic with glass fibers produces a 3D printing filament which exhibits the best properties of both fiberglass and the plastic of choice.
What Is It Good For?
Ideal for any applications which require strength and rigidity.
For these reasons, glass fiber reinforced filament is very popular in automotive, mechanical, civil engineering, and research industries.
