Onyx — our flagship Composite Base material — is a micro carbon fiber filled nylon that yields accurate parts with impeccable surface finish. Few materials have the versatility of Onyx; it offers high strength, toughness, and chemical resistance when printed alone, and can be reinforced with Continuous Fibers to yield aluminum-strength parts. Today, there are more than a million Onyx parts in the field transforming manufacturing.

Onyx FR is a flame-resistant variant of Onyx designed for use in applications where parts must be non-flammable. The material earned a UL Blue Card, and is considered V-0 (self extinguishing) at thicknesses greater than or equal to 3mm. It can be reinforced with any Continuous Fiber and is compatible with industrial composite 3D printers.

Onyx ESD is the most advanced polymer we’ve ever developed. It’s precision-engineered to possess an extremely tight range of surface resistance — meeting ESD-safe requirements of the most stringent manufacturers — while offering the same industry leading benefits that Onyx offers. In fact, it’s actually stronger and stiffer than Onyx with similarly impeccable surface finish, making it the go-to material for advanced applications.

Nylon is an unfilled thermoplastic. It’s a non-abrasive material that is great for ergonomic surfaces and workholding for pieces that are easily marred. It can be painted or dyed.
