Experience the Capabilities of XiP
Nexa3D syringe assembly is designed to highlight truly rapid, reliable, and accurate 3d printing right on your desktop.
Why choose a syringe?
There’s more than meets the eye!
A syringe is the best sample design to show off all the capabilities of the XiP desktop 3D printer. A syringe is a simple reciprocating pump consisting of a plunger that fits tightly within a cylindrical tube. To build these fully-functional assemblies, accuracy and repeatability is paramount. XiP is capable of building up to 24 assemblies in minutes.
-
1. Horizontal Bridging
Demonstrates the low force applied to each layer during the printing process
-
2. Inner Diameter
Ability to achieve and hold critical fine features
-
3. Unsupported Angles
Allows parts to be self-supported to print with a minimal amount of extraneous support material
-
4. Fine feature detail
Pyramidal knurling shows sharp feature transitions
-
5. Accuracy and Surface Finish
Ability to design assemblies with functional tolerances and smooth mating surfaces
The Proof is in the Details
Designed to challenge the XiP Desktop 3D Printer
This is no ordinary syringe. We designed this sample part to push the boundaries of what the XiP 3D printer is capable of and repeat the method with exacting detail.
How to Assemble
Step 1
Slightly stretch the o-rings one at a time over the head of the plunger until seated in the ring area.
Step 2
Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the o-rings and spread until the head of the plunger is covered in a thin layer.
Step 3
Insert the plunger into the barrel. Apply more jelly if there’s too much resistance.
