3D Printers - Metal/MFF

Metal/Plastic Filament

The Markforged Metal X is an industrial metal 3D printer that uses MFF (Metal Filament Fabrication), printing metal powder bound in a plastic filament to create safe, clean, fully enclosed metal parts without loose powder or lasers. It’s designed to be far more affordable than traditional metal AM systems, while still producing strong, precise, functional metal components with a streamlined, closed‑loop workflow.
