Market Leaders Nexa3D and Slice Engineering Deploy New Extrusion Technology for HSE Series Platforms
Los Angeles, CA; June 25, 2024 – Nexa3D, a leader across multiple domains in the additive manufacturing industry, and Slice Engineering, a specialist engineering firm focused on the development of high-performance 3D printer components, today announced an exciting partnership to launch Nexa3D’s 6th generation hot-end for High Speed Extrusion (HSE) technology. This state-of-the-art hardware is being deployed on the new HSE 180 and 280i series printers.
The development of the Gen VI hot-end was driven by the increasing user adoption in the Aerospace and Automotive sectors. It represents a significant leap forward in improving material compatibility and reliability, meeting the rigorous demands of these high-performance industries. The new printhead enables faster print speeds without compromising on precision or quality, which is crucial for applications requiring detailed and durable components.
Enhanced Material Compatibility and Performance
This new hot-end offers unparalleled material compatibility, allowing users to work with a broader range of filaments, including high-temperature and composite materials. This flexibility is crucial for industries such as aerospace and automotive, where specific material properties are essential for the performance and safety of the end products. The enhanced thermal management and improved nozzle design ensure consistent extrusion and superior print quality, even at high speeds.
User Benefits and Technological Advancements
Customers will benefit from the increased efficiency and reduced production times that come with the higher extrusion speeds enabled by the Gen VI hot end. The advanced thermal properties and precise control mechanisms of the new hot end minimize common issues such as clogging and filament jams, leading to a more reliable and seamless printing experience. Best of all, the easy-to-install retrofit kit ensures that existing HSE 180 and 280i users can quickly upgrade to the latest technology without significant downtime, and ensures the longevity and adaptability of the platform for years to come.
Statements from Leadership
“We are thrilled to partner with Slice Engineering to bring our 6th Generation HSE technology to market,” said Kris Oftebro, Director of Customer Success for Extrusion. “This collaboration underscores our commitment to continuous innovation and providing our customers with the tools they need to push the boundaries of what’s possible in additive manufacturing.”
