OEM Nano Dimension launches the Exa 250vx Digital Light Processing (DLP) 3D Printer at Formnext 2024. Designed for micro-applications, the 3D printer would create “superior resolution micro parts at high production throughput.”
Built with insights from users of Nano Dimension’s Fabrica Tera and Fabrica Giga systems, the new 3D printer aims to support the demands of service bureaus and OEMs alike.
It serves as an alternative to traditional micro-manufacturing methods, including micro-injection molding and micro-CNC. With a build volume of 100mm x 100mm x 70mm, a 7.6µm XY resolution, and a layer thickness of just 10 microns, Exa is compatible with Nano Dimension’s resins such as D-810.
This enables the production of durable, rigid parts with high structural integrity – perfect for creating intricate and precise components. As with the other Fabrica systems, there is an open system policy, allowing users to work with third-party resins.
The 3D printer can be used to achieve a variety of applications including connectors and other miniaturized components for electronic devices; medical devices like micro needles, micro filters, and components for minimally invasive surgeries. Other applications for optical uses and micro-decorative items – including gold coated – for the jewelry sector are concerned.
“Manufacturers producing micro parts are facing a trade-off between precision and productivity,” says Nir Sade, Senior Vice President of Additive Manufacturing at Nano Dimension. “As part of Exa’s development, we worked closely with customers to address a host of needs such as high-volume parts production with micro-level detail for parts larger than the 50mm build limit we currently have on the Tera. The result is a system that provides the perfect balance of quality, productivity, and cost, making it a game changer for the industry.”
Available for pre-order, the Exa is set to ship in Q2 2025.
