INF Design operates the industrial Markforged X7™ printers for parts requiring continuous fibre reinforcements as well as 50μm-200μm finishes. The X7™ is an industry changing machine that is changing the world of manufacturing utilizing high strength additive manufacturing.
The X7 features a unique process of closed loop print scanning ensuring printed parts are within design tolerances throughout the print process. Once the print has been completed the Markforged software is able to generate a report confirming the part has been printed within tolerance, INF Design then completes an in house assessment of the product before confirming the part has been manufactured to our standards and certified for release.
Using the UL 94V-O certified ONYX™ FR-A filament with the X7 we are able to print components with full material traceability necessary to fulfill the 14 CFR 25.853 requirements for 3D printed components. The ONYX FR-A and Carbon Fibre FR-A materials, when printed with the X7 machine using the closed loop print scanning process, are currently undergoing the NCAMP process.
X7 Structural reinforcing has the ability to integrate continuous Carbon Fibre, Fibreglass, HSHT fibreglass and Aramid Fibre (Kevlar®) carefully into our design and manufacturing process tailored to the individual components and structural loads. Printing a variety of certified materials including the standard Onyx™ as well as Onyx ESD™ electrostatic dissipative, Onyx FR™ fire resistant, Nylon and Precise PLA materials.
