How Our Industrial 3D Printers Are Different
Nexa3D offers end-to-end 3D desktop and industrial grade printing systems with validated workflows, software and post-production capabilities to meet a variety of application needs. Move your production in-house or upgrade your additive manufacturing process to get the fast turnaround time and flexibility you need to scale your additive production and achieve throughput economics unachievable with traditional stereolithography (SLA) printers. When printing using traditional stereolithography (SLA) 3D printers, one of the limiting factors is the delamination forces during printing. Once layers are added during the printing process, they tend to be very fragile and sensitive to peeling forces, and that is why SLA printers print at low speed, so as not to jeopardize the print structure during the printing process.

Our printers are different, in that they use a patented Lubricant Sublayer Photo-curing (LSPc) process that has a self-lubricated membrane enabling ultrafast printing from a few different angles. What our self-lubricated membrane does is eliminate the forces between the part being printed, which is in green state, and the build area. The resin, which is a viscous material, needs to move into the printed area to be able to print the next layer. The flexible membrane means we can address the issue of resin replenishment, which is unaddressable with other SLA techniques. This is because the membrane, thanks to its flexibility, helps to propagate the resin to every area of the print platform, enabling faster printing speeds than other SLA printers.

Who We Are
We 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 litters 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.

Cutting Edge Technology
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 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, DSM and Evonik. 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.

Environmental Focus
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.
