About me

I've have a Markforged Onyx One printer that prints the Markforged Onyx material which is a nylon filament that contains chopped carbon fibers.

It's chopped discontinuous carbon fibers make the material stronger and stiffer than ABS and has a higher tensile strength at yield when compared to tough Nylon. It also has a heat deflection temperature of 293 F (145 C). More information on its material properties can be found on the Markforged website.

I work in as a manufacturing engineering lead in a rocket manufacturing company and am fascinated with different manufacturing processes and am now increasing my exposure to 3D Printing technologies.
