Nexa3D Live Demonstration - Ultra-Fast 3D Printing Event in NJ Recap Yesterday, we hosted our Nexa3D event in New Jersey, where we featured the new NXE 400 3D-printer and LSPc process (Lubricant Sublayer Photo-curing) capable of printing speeds of 1 vertical inch every 2½ minutes (depending on material). (Cimquest’s team demonstrating the equipment & process) We first showed a static ‘sneak peak’ of this machine at our Xpand3D event back in October 2019, but skepticism [...]
Nexa3D Live Demonstration - Ultra-Fast 3D Printing February 25th in Sterling, Massachusetts Join us for a deep dive of the new ultra-fast 3D Printer from Nexa3D. Breaking speed barriers for injection molding quality parts, this machine can print at vertical speeds of 1 inch per 2½ minutes. You'll get to see the entire printing process from start to finish and meet with our engineers to discuss your own unique processes and applications. Event Time & [...]

Have you ever found yourself having to create some type of texturing to your 3D models, whether it be dimples, knurls, bumps like the image below? A straightforward way to accomplish this is to create the planes, sketches and features that will give you that type of shape, then use some type of pattern to complete the 3D texture over the complete surface. Although that works, SolidWorks has come up with a quicker way to [...]
In part one of this “How to Choose the Right 3D Scanner” series we discussed scanning accuracy and resolution. In addition to these attributes, many scanners can also capture what we refer to as texture or color texture. Very often, when scanning a shape, color texture isn't terribly important, unless the scans will be used for 3D color printing, to display on a website, or for use in AR/VR. But in too many cases, color [...]
