Metal FFF 3D Printing
A step-by-step guide for process and considerations
Metal FFF 3D Printing Guide
Metal fused filament fabrication (metal FFF) is quickly becoming a go-to 3D printing process for many industries. It’s affordable, easy-to-use, and offers an accessible way for modern manufacturers to print real metal parts – using a process based around metal injection molding (MIM).
Read our Metal FFF 3D Printing Guide to learn:
- How the entire metal FFF process works
- Key considerations to make when adopting this technology
- Markforged’s approach to metal FFF

Our unique process
Composite Base
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.
Continuous Fiber Reinforcement
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.
