Dubbed Xyon, the advanced polymer material is the first filament released by Nexa3D following the company’s recent acquisition of Essentium, Inc., a maker of high-speed extrusion (HSE) 3D printers and materials. Nexa3D is a manufacturer of what it calls “ultrafast” polymer and metal 3D printers that reportedly provide productivity gains of up to 20-fold.
According to Nexa3D, Xyon represents a “pivotal shift in 3D printing dynamics.”
“At Nexa3D, we empower our customers with the freedom of choice,” said Avi Reichental, CEO, co-founder, and chairman of Nexa3D, in a company release. “Xyon represents a breakthrough in super polymer extrusion technology that combines exceptional quality with significant cost savings. This launch is a testament to our commitment to revolutionize 3D printing accessibility, enabling a wider range of applications and empowering professionals worldwide to realize their creative and industrial potential.”
Xyon is engineered to be a highly cost-effective material that offers “exceptional quality at a fraction of the cost of other industrial-grade carbon fiber filaments,” Nexa3D said in the release. It is designed to work within existing print parameters, ensuring broad compatibility, easy integration, and seamless transitions for users of competitive products. It’s also compatible with brands such as Bambu Labs, the company said.
Another advantage, according to Nexa3D, is versatility. Xyon can be used in a wide array of applications, from prototyping to manufacturing, eliminating the need to switch materials.
