Ultrafast 3D printing technology developer Nexa3D took the opportunity at Formnext Expo 2023, held November 7-10 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, to unveil a groundbreaking desktop cure system that reduces post-processing time by as much as 80%, bringing ultrafast post-processing to the desktop. Additionally, the company introduced three new industrial resins, enabling new applications in automotive, aerospace, electronics and dental markets.
Redefining ultraviolet (UV) curing for resin printing — xCURE Desktop
xCURE Desktop is a high-powered UV curing system that supports three different wavelengths (365 nm, 385
The xCURE Desktop curing system reduces resin post processing by as much as 80%. Source: Nexa3D nm and 405 nm), making it a versatile solution for all resin printers. Housed in a rugged, anodized metal enclosure for superior durability, xCURE Desktop reduces cure times by up to 80% with most parts curing in under 10 minutes. This allows users to post-process parts much faster, and Nexa3D’s predefined curing workflows guarantee consistent mechanical properties and predictable part performance.
High-throughput flame-retardant resin
— xPRO9400-FR
xPRO9400-FR, produced in partnership with BASF ForwardAM, sets a new standard in flame retardant 3D printing materials. This rigid material with a UL 94 V-0 rating is halogen-free and features an exceptionally high heat deflection temperature (HDT) above 250° C. Ideal for production automotive and aerospace parts, electronics, custom jigs and fixtures, and more, it stands out with its low viscosity, ease of handling and exceptional temperature resistance.
Bright white modeling resin
— PRO9499 White
PRO9499 White from Henkel is a cost-effective modeling material that delivers superb feature resolution and accuracy. It maintains a brilliant matte white finish even after post-curing, making it perfect for a wide variety of modeling applications. With exceptional detail and high-quality surface finish, it's designed for great first-time print success.
Biocompatible dental resin
— Saremco Print CROWNTEC
Saremco Print CROWNTEC is an outstanding composite resin specially formulated for biocompatible permanent dental restorations. It offers a wide range of applications, including inlays, onlays, veneers, dentures and temporary bridges but is most often used for temporary and permanent crowns. With multiple shades and impeccable aesthetics, it ensures a perfect match for any dental restoration.
