We are additive manufacturing experts.
Advanced Manufacturing Australia uses state-of-the-art Markforged additive manufacturing technology.
On-shore rapid prototyping and precision manufacturing for Australian innovators and enterprises.
We have acquired the very latest in industrial 3D printing technology. That way you can conceptualise, prototype and deploy innovative new products and components faster than ever before. Our end-to-end additive manufacturing expertise means that you can focus on your business, your product offering and your customers. Meanwhile, we can take care of design development, production and supply.
We are versatile and details focussed. If your product or component needs electronics, nutserts or other components to be fitted during the 3D printing process we are able to make that happen. We can integrate your electronics or other components with those that we manufacture in order to deliver a complete assembly or finished product. However, we can also supply individual components for you to complete the final assembly. The power to create is in your hands.

Materials
Advanced Manufacturing Australia manufactures products and components with the following industrial-grade materials which are specially engineered for use in Markforged 3D printers.
Composite Base
Markforged Composite Base filaments are lightweight and low-cost. Furthermore, these filaments can be printed in isolation, or in combination with Continuous Fibres to create create seriously strong parts.
Additive manufacturing using composite base filaments would be suitable for just about anything which previously could only be done through plastic injection moulding or compression moulding, and more.
Onyx
Oynx is a micro carbon fibre filled nylon material that can be used to create precision, high strength, chemically resistant components with an exceptional surface finish. It can also be reinforced with Continuous Fibres to yield aluminium-strength parts.
Flexural strength: 71MPa.
Heat deflection temp: 145 Deg C.
Onyx FR
Onyx FR is a certified UL 94 V-0 rated flame-resistant variant of Onyx which is self-extinguishing at thicknesses greater than or equal to 3mm. It is designed for use in applications where parts must be non-flammable (e.g. for components located close to heat sources).
Flexural strength: 71MPa.
Heat deflection temp: 145 Deg C.
Onyx ESD
Oynx ESD is engineered to have an extremely tight range of surface resistance (containing electrostatic discharge material which reduces static electricity). It meets ESD-safe requirements, is stronger and stiffer than Onyx and is the ideal choice for electronics enclosures and mounts.
Surface Resistance 10⁵ – 10⁷ Ohms.
Flexural strength: 83MPa.
Nylon
Nylon is a non-abrasive, unfilled thermoplastic that is great for ergonomic surfaces and workholding for pieces that are easily scratched, worn or blemished. It can be painted or dyed and is useful for any application that needs a high degree of flexibility.
Elongation at break 150%.
Continuous Fibre
Markforged Continuous Fibres enable us to print ultra-lightweight metal-strength parts. Continuous Fibres are used to reinforce parts which are printed with a Composite Base.
Additive manufacturing using continuous fibre reinforced composite base filaments can be used to make parts which have traditionally been made of metal using CNC machining, casting, injection moulding, and more.
Carbon Fibre
Ultra-lightweight components which are made primarily of a Composite Base material such as Onyx can become as strong as 6061-T6 Aluminum when reinforced with continuous strand carbon fibre. Carbon fibre reinforced parts are ideal for applications where weight reduction is necessary without compromising structural integrity.
Flexural strength: 540MPa.
Flexural stiffness: 60GPa
Aramid Fibre (Kevlar®)
Aramid Fibre is used where energy absorption and extreme toughness are critical. Components made of Onyx or similar Composite Base materials can become extremely impact-resistant and almost immune to catastrophic failure or fracture when reinforced with this specialised Dupont™ Kevlar® based material. It is ideal for use in demanding environments or where parts are subject to repetitive loading.
Izod impact (Notched): 2000J/m.
HSHT Fibreglass
High Strength High Temperature (HSHT) Fiberglass filament is typically more cost effective than continuous strand carbon fibre when used to strengthen Composite Base parts. It provides almost the same level of stiffness (nearly equal to 6061-T6 Aluminum) and maintains its strength in both low and high temperatures.
Flexural strength: 420MPa.
Heat deflection temp: 145 Deg C.
Fibreglass
Fibreglass, when used to reinforce a component made of Composite Base material like Onyx, is capable of yielding parts 10x stronger than ABS. It is also a more cost effective option than HSHT Fibreglass, Aramid Fibre and Carbon Fibre.
Flexural strength: 200MPa.
Flexural stiffness: 22GPa
Metal
Markforged metal filaments enable strong parts with complex geometries to be manufactured from advanced metals without the cost of expensive tooling and with less material wastage.
Additive manufacturing using metal filaments can be used to make parts which have traditionally been made using CNC machining, casting, injection moulding, and more.
17-4 PH Stainless Steel
17-4 PH Stainless Steel is a multipurpose steel which can be used to create robust, high-strength parts for a broad range of industrial applications. Heat-treatable to 36 HRC and possessing 95% wrought strength, 17-4 PH Stainless Steel can be used to rapidly create corrosion resistant metal components with complex geometries.
Tensile strength: 1050MPa (As-Sintered) 1250MPa (Heat Treated).
Hardness: 30HRC (As-Sintered) 36HRC (Heat Treated).
Copper
Markforged copper is unparalleled in its ability to conduct both heat and electricity, and is far less labour intensive and expensive to manufacture components with than traditional fabrication methods. 3D printed copper is particularly useful for electrical components and technology applications.
Electrical Conductivity: 84% IACS (As-Sintered).
Thermal Conductivity: 350W/mk (As-Sintered).
Inconel 625
Inconel 625 is a nickel-chromium based superalloy that is extremely resistant to corrosion and strong at high temperatures. It meets chemical requirements of ASTM B443 and is particularly useful for rapid prototyping and manufacturing of end-use parts which need to be designed to withstand harsh environments.
Ultimate Tensile Strength: 765MPa at 25 ºC, 558MPa at 600 ºC.
H13 Tool Steel
H13 tool steel is an extremely versatile and wear-resistant material which is harder than 17-4 PH Stainless Steel and capable of maintaining material properties at high temperatures. Markforged H13 can be heat treated to 45 HRC with a UTS of 1500 MPa and is commonly used to create cutting tool bodies, mould inserts, brazing fixtures, etc.
Tensile Strength: 1420MPa (As-Sintered) 1500MPa (Heat Treated).
Hardness: 40HRC (As-Sintered) 45HRC (Heated Treated).
A2 and D2 Tool Steel
A2 and D2 are cold work tool steels which become exceptionally hard after heat treatment. A2 tool steel achieves a combination of good wear resistance and high toughness. D2 tool steel is harder and more wear-resistant, but is less tough. Both can be used for cutting and forming tools, or other applications where high hardness is essential.
Hardness: 50HRC (A2 Heat Treated) 60HRC (D2 Heat Treated).
