One of the model resins offered by Nexa 3D is the xMODEL35 industrial modeling material developed together with BASF. The xMODEL35 resin is an affordable and easy to process solution for the 3D printing of not only prototypes and funciontal models but also for end-use applications.
The xMODEL35 resin stands out due to its heat resistance (up to 85 ºC), low water absorption rate (below 0.5 %), and strength of over 69 MPa. This makes this material adequate for both indoor uses as well as outdoor uses in high-temperature and high-humidity environments.
Parts 3D printed with the xMODEL35 resin offer crisp detail and reliable dimensional accuracy even in challenging usage environments. An added benefits is that thanks to the Nexa 3D patented LSPc and Everlast Membrane technologies for ultrafast resin 3D printing, the xMODEL35 resin will produce high quality parts at a rate of over 10 cm per hour, thus helping to digitize and agilize the supply chain and workflow for any business.

Parts 3D printed with the Nexa 3D xMODEL35 resin will achieve their specific properties only after being subjected to post-processing by washing and curing. If applicable, the support structures must be removed from the part before curing and the part must be washed. Nexa3D recommends 2 wash intervals (2 minutes each) in IPA alcohol or xClean. It is recommended to use two buckets in the cleaning process, especially when working with multiple resin colors, to prevent resin residue from sticking to the part.
Once washed, the parts 3D printed with the xMODEL35 resin must be dried and then cured either with the help of an LED or wide spectrum lamp, or in the Nexa 3D Wash+Cure station developed especially for the washing and curing of parts 3D printed on the XiP 3D printer. The recommended washing, drying and curing times can be consulted on the manufacturer's website for each Nexa 3D resin.
Certain precautions must be taken when working with 3D printing resins. The user must ensure that the working space is adequately ventilated, and that protective goggles, gloves and garments are worn at all times. The xMODEL35 resin should be stored in a tightly closed container/resin vat to avoid resin deterioration due to UV exposure. The container/vat should be kept in a cool, well ventilated area away from heat, sparks and open flame.
