Nexa3D was born from a meeting between Avi Reichental, former CEO of 3D Systems, and the inventors of the “Lubricant Sublayer Photo-curing” (LSPc) technology. Interested in the developments of the latter, Reichental decided to create Nexa3D in 2015. And three years later, in 2018, the first 3D printer of the Californian manufacturer was unveiled.

Historically, Nexa3D was exclusively positioned on the industrial 3D printer market, before expanding its range more recently with solutions for the dental sector as well as the arrival of its first desktop machine, the XiP. Thus, the different ranges of the brand now cover engineering (symbolized by an E in the nomenclature of the machines, like the NXE200), dental (symbolized by a D) and the desktop machine market with the XiP. In parallel to its resin ranges, the manufacturer also offers a high performance SLS printer, the QLS.

The XiP ecosystem includes the printer as well as a post-processing machine and an air filtration system

Unveiled at the last Formnext trade show in Frankfurt, the XiP ecosystem includes a 3D printer, a post-processing machine, an air filtration system and proprietary resin cartridges. With its compact size and entry-level price of $6,295, the XiP is presented as a manufacturer’s entry-level machine and is aimed at a wider target audience.
