3D PRINTER COMPARISON:
FUSION3 EDGE VS. MARKFORGED ONYX ONE
(UPDATED 4/4/2022)
Both the Markforged and Fusion3 are USA companies who focus on commercial-grade 3D printers to build strong, durable parts for commercial users out of engineering plastics.
As the comparison below shows, the Fusion3 EDGE is the much better choice, offering a much larger print area, faster print speeds at similar print quality, automatic bed leveling, and the ability to print many materials, not just Carbon Fiber Nylon and PLA.
