The MarkForged Mark One doesn't just print in plastic or other kinds of material you've heard 3D printers can handle. It also prints in carbon fiber.

The printer was developed by Gregory Mark, co-owner of race car wing manufacturer Aeromotions. The Mark One was conceived to help Gregory save himself the cost of hand-laying carbon fiber at work. Now he makes parts using carbon fiber hands-free!

The MarkForged Mark One not only prints carbon fiber and fiberglass, but it can print composite parts as well. Parts printed on the Mark One have already been found to have a higher strength-to-weight ratio than traditionally-tooled aluminum.
