Nexa3D xCE-White

Nexa3D xCE-White, a high-performance polymer for producing end-use plastic parts and injection molding tools inminutes. This new material is a single cure polymer that delivers higher flexural strength that is typically achieved only in dual cure cyanate ester resins. xCE-White has excellent isotropic properties and exhibits long-term environmental stability making itwell suited for a variety of automotive parts,electronics and many industrial components as well as the production of injection molding tool.

    Cure rate and ultimate depth of cure depend on light intensity, spectral distribution of the light source, exposure time and light transmittance of the printer window through which the light must pass.

    Directions for use
    • This product is light sensitive; exposure to daylight, UV light and artificial lighting should be kept to a minimum during storage and handling.
    • Shake or stir Nexa3D xCE-White well before use.
    • Agitate resin before each print.
    • Do not leave resin in printer tray when not in use.
    Recommended Post Print Processing
    • Rinse the printed part using an approved cleaner to remove uncured resin
    • The use compressed air or impregnated wipes to remove excess residual solvent from the surface is recommended
    • Remove any support structures prior to any post-curing step

    Technical Details & Test Data

    Chemical Compatibility

    Compatibility of 3D-printed and post-cured resin parts were tested with several chemicals. From several resins, blocks of 20 x 20 x 20 mm were printed and post-cured according to the table below. The weight of the blocks were measured before the test and after 24 hour immersion in the specific chemical solution. Before weighing the surface of the immersed blocks were wiped dry.

     Chemical   Results 
     Tap water   < 0,23% 
     Salt water (5 w% NaCl)   0,39% 
     Ethanol   0,47%
