We are a bunch of passionate additive manufacturing practitioners that are committed to digitizing the world’s supply chain sustainably.

We make the world’s fastest polymer 3D printers affordable for professionals and businesses of all sizes. Our groundbreaking technology is shattering traditional 3D printing productivity barriers and opening the aperture of additive materials.

Our printers take current additive manufacturing speeds from ‘dialup internet’ to ‘broadband’ printing and are capable of continuously printing at speeds of up to 8 litters per hour. This represents some 20X productivity gains over all current state additive products and is comparable only to injection molding economics without existing supply chain complexities, extended lead-times and the substantial costs typically associated with tooled plastics.

We pioneered from the ground up two new print engines that are designed for high speed production applications; Lubricant Sublayer Photo-curing (LSPc) for photoplastics print engine and Quantum Laser Sintering (QLS) print engine for thermoplastics.

Beyond our game-changing hardware innovations, we are coding the interplay between chemistry, process and speed at scale. Our Digital Twin Printing (DTP) software unlocks new material properties and assures process stability, higher yields and performance.

To democratize access to production polymers, we formed partnerships with world-class material suppliers including Henkel, BASF, DSM and Evonik. Together we are unlocking the full potential of performance polymers that are addressing a broader range of industrial and medical prototyping and production use cases.

We are deeply committed to sustainability. We apply circular economy principles in every phase of our design and delivery process by rigorously measuring and improving on what matters; minimizing process waste, reducing energy consumption per part and working with our customers to reduce their overall carbon footprint.

The xWASH is optimized for and validated with Nexa xClean, which offers 3X saturation limits, environmentally friendly recycling options, and enhanced chemical/flash-point safety characteristics.

The xWASH directly accommodates the full NXE400 build volume, accepts up to two NXE400 build platforms simultaneously for streamlined post-processing workflow, or the option of a loose parts basket for production flexibility; it can also accept the full NXE400 build volume. Bi-directional agitation with variable speeds ensures efficient cleaning regardless of part geometry, and an adjustable cleaning timer allows optimized cleaning time based on part geometry and resin type. Dedicated drain and fill ports facilitate easy maintenance; a pot life timer notifies when the cleaner has reached saturation limits. A tritan plastic reservoir provides clear process and cleaner level viewing, and provides maximum durability for production environments.

The ability to automatically raise and lower the Z-axis with a secondary lid/cover provides an extra safeguard from chemical exposure, and reduces solvent evaporation.

A touch screen user interface makes it easy to set bath cleaning duration, agitation speed/direction, and cleaner useful life.
