Dissolvable high-performance resin developed for free-form injection moulding.

xMOLD resin by Nexa3D is an advanced solution tailored for Freeform Injection Molding (FIM), presented in a visually distinctive transparent blue hue. Crafted with precision, this resin boasts complete dissolvability when submerged in demolding solvent, ensuring a seamless and efficient post-processing experience.

Delving into its mechanical and thermal characteristics, xMOLD resin showcases impressive properties:

  • Ultimate tensile strength: 38 ± 3 MPa.
  • Young’s Modulus: 1152 ± 284 MPa.
  • Tensile stress at break: 31 ± 2 MPa.
  • Hardness (shore D) post curing: Shore 80 D.
  • Toughness: 18 ± 4 MPa.
  • Thermal conductivity: 0.187 W/m K.

With these attributes, xMOLD resin stands as a reliable choice for professionals seeking optimal performance and reliability in their injection molding endeavors. A Nexa3D webinar on the xMOLD resin talks in detail about how to accelerate development and reduce costs with the xMOLD resin.

Parts 3D printed with the Nexa 3D xMOLD 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. The xMOLD resin should be washed for 5 minutes in 99% IPA alcohol.

Once washed, the parts 3D printed with the xMOLD resin must be air-dried for about 60 minutes 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 xMOLD 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.
