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.
