3D printer OEM Nexa3D is giving industries the opportunity to take their first steps in its Lubricant Sublayer Photo-curing (LSPc) technology using an entry-level industrial 3D printer.
Several machine manufacturers such as Lithoz and Thermwood develop and commercialize entry-level 3D printers based on their technology. From what we have understood, such 3D printers ambition to meet the “requests for a somewhat smaller, lower cost additive system which still has all the features and print quality of [the flagship products].”
Named NXE 200, the 3D printer joins a portfolio that already includes the NXE 400 industrial 3D printer and NXD 200 dental 3D printer. It is said to deliver 6.5x the speed of competitive resin 3D printing technologies but a spacious build volume of 8.5L and build area of 275 x 155 x 200mm.
“Consumers should not have to accept tradeoffs between quality and affordability,” said Michele Marchesan, Nexa3D Chief Revenue Officer, Industrial Products. “The NXE 200 offers extremely high productivity, in addition to superior accuracy, aesthetics, and mechanical properties, at the lowest total cost of ownership. Nexa3D intends to reach as many users as possible, and the NXE 200 will make LSPc more widely available.”
A large selection of materials can be processed by the new machine. The latter is also compatible with NexaX 2.0 software (used for build optimization, process stability, and print consistency) as well as xWash and xCure post-processing technology.
Nexa3D’s proprietary Everlast 2 membrane, a key component to LSPc’s speed, is also part of this package. The Everlast 2 membrane’s long lifespan enables to increase the printer uptime and lower consumables costs. The printer’s 4K LCD light engine eliminates light diffusion near the part’s edges, resulting in exceptional accuracy and surface finish. Uniform exposure and process control with high power and irradiance enable strong cure at each layer for better mechanical properties, a press release reads.
The NXE 200 is priced at $49,990 with installation included, and for a limited time, the printer comes bundled with Nexa3D’s high-capacity xCure curing unit and NexaX 2.0 software. This offer is good until the end of May.
