Step-by-Step Guide: Making Parts with Nexa3D XiP and APSX-PIM

Design: Begin the process by creating a 3D model of the desired part using CAD software. Leverage the freedom of design afforded by FIM to explore intricate geometries and complex structures.

3D Printing with Nexa3D XiP: Once the design is finalized, transfer the model to the Nexa3D XiP printer. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, the XiP printer swiftly transforms digital designs into high-resolution 3D printed prototypes with unparalleled speed and accuracy.

Validation and Iteration: Evaluate the printed prototype to ensure that it meets design specifications. With the rapid turnaround time of Nexa3D's printers, iterate quickly to refine the design and address any potential issues.

Mold Creation: Once the prototype is approved, proceed to create the mold using the nexa3D mold generator software or another CAD software. 3D print the mold by using the xMOLD material on the nexa3D XiP printer.

Injection Molding: With the mold in place, initiate the injection molding process using the APSX-PIM. The machine's precise control and repeatability ensure consistent results, delivering high-quality parts with each cycle.

Final Inspection: Conduct a thorough inspection of the molded parts to verify dimensional accuracy and to test the part functionality. Fine tune your design until you hit your targets. With FIM, achieve tight tolerances and superior surface finishes, meeting the most demanding specifications.

Production Scaling: With the optimized workflow enabled by the APSX-PIM and Nexa3D collaboration, seamlessly scale production to meet demand while maintaining the highest standards of quality and efficiency.
