Who We Are

Nexa3D logoWe are a team of passionate additive manufacturing practitioners that are committed to digitizing the world’s supply chain sustainably.

We make the world’s fastest polymer 3D printers accessible to professionals and businesses of all sizes. Our groundbreaking technology is shattering traditional 3D printing productivity barriers and opening the aperture of additive materials.

Our printers take current additive manufacturing speeds from ‘dialup internet’ to ‘broadband’ printing and are capable of continuously printing at speeds of up to 8 liters per hour. This represents up to 20x productivity gains over all current state additive products and is comparable only to injection molding economics — existing supply chain complexities, extended lead-times and the substantial costs typically associated with tooled plastics.

Patented Technologies

We engineered from the ground up two new print engines that are designed for high speed production applications; Lubricant Sublayer Photo-curing (LSPc) for photoplastics print engine and Quantum Laser Sintering (QLS) print engine for thermoplastics.

Beyond our game-changing hardware innovations, we are coding the interplay between chemistry, process and speed at scale. Our Digital Twin Printing (DTP) software unlocks new material properties and assures process stability, higher yields and performance.

Our Material Partners

We believe the best way to propel the additive manufacturing industry forward is to work together with our material partners to innovate and develop a steady stream of high performance 3D printing materials. To democratize access to production polymers, we formed partnerships with world-class material suppliers including Henkel, BASF, and Keystone. Together we are unlocking the full potential of performance polymers that are addressing a broader range of industrial and medical prototyping and production use cases.

Taking Action on Sustainability

We are deeply committed to sustainability. We apply circular economy principles in every phase of our design and delivery process by rigorously measuring and improving on what matters: minimizing process waste, reducing energy consumption per part and working with our customers to reduce their overall carbon footprint. We partner with ForestNation, provider of products and services to help reforest the Earth and generate sustainable livelihoods in developing countries.

Nexa3D is committed to digitizing the world’s supply chain sustainably. The company pioneered from the ground up two new print engines that are designed for high speed production applications: the Lubricant Sublayer Photo-curing (LSPc) print engine for photoplastics and Quantum Laser Sintering (QLS) print engine for thermoplastics. These technologies have resulted in the world’s fastest polymer 3D printers, which are affordable for professionals and businesses of all sizes.

Partnerships with world-class material suppliers allow Nexa3D to make a broad range of production polymers available. Nexa3D’s NexaX 2.0 software unlocks new material properties and assures process stability, higher yields, and better overall performance.

Nexa3D will be showcasing the brand new XiP resin desktop 3D printer, as well as the NXE 400 and NXE 200 industrial resin 3D printers, the NXD 200 dental 3D printer, and the upcoming QLS 820 powder bed 3D printer, plus its NexaX 2.0 software, its portfolio of materials, and xWash and xCure post-processing technology. Details about Nexa3D's new partner Addifab and the Freeform Injection Molding (FIM) platform will also be available.

See Nexa3D on the RAPID + TCT Conference Stage and Tech Hub


Wednesday, June 26, 2024

3:30 PM | Conference Room 404 AB
Rewriting the Playbook of Injection Molding with Digital Tooling and xMOLD
Primary Presenter: Carsten Jarfelt, National Sales Manager - Freeform Injection Molding, Nexa3D

This presentation discusses Freeform Injection Molding, a hybrid approach that combines freedom of design with the industrial strength of injection molding. This innovative approach unlocks tremendous potential for and has wide applicability across aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and consumer products industries as well as contract manufacturers and regional molders looking to take full advantage of the design freedom of 3D printing while using 1000s of tried and true feedstocks including polymers, composites, silicone, and metals.

We'll discuss how to rapidly optimize design before high-volume production and leverage FIM for custom manufacturing without compromise and you’ll learn:

  • Why we need to change the way products are developed
  • How FIM works and the benefits of using FIM to develop molded parts in as little as one day
  • Things to consider when implementing FIM in your design/production process
  • A review of 5 case studies illustrating how to not only quickly iterate and develop designs but also test them with production-level performance

The goal of this presentation is to educate attendees and open up a path to rapid, high-performance tooling production so that they understand injection molding capabilities are within reach without major capital expense and that prototyping is now unbound by material limitations with a resource that enables them to iterate quickly without sacrificing compatibility with thousands of off-the-shelf injection molding materials, including reinforced high-performance feedstocks.

FIM represents a transformative opportunity to design, iterate, and validate using final grade production materials in hours versus weeks and months is invaluable in any product development process.
