Introducing Nylon White for Markforged 3D Printers

Announcing Nylon White composite material available for the Mark Two and X7 Markforged 3D Printers.

It is now possible to print in Nylon and Onyx on the same printhead! But what is Nylon White?

  • Nylon White is an engineering thermoplastic that is non-abrasive and can be easily painted.
  • It replaces Tough Nylon, which will no longer be available for purchase after mid-July 2019

Nylon White is better than what came before in every way – including being more easily printable, stronger and stiffer, non-abrasive, even more moisture resistant, and smoother.

It is available to purchase right now – just give us a call.

When should you use Nylon White?

  • When you need to customize any part that needs to be smooth and non-abrasive that will come into contact with Class A cosmetic surfaces.
  • When you need to easily paint or dye any parts to enhance designs, color code, or increase visibility.
