What your process engineer actually checks

Dissipative through the part, not on it

xESD carries a stable, uniformly dispersed network of discrete carbon nanotubes through the whole resin, so measured part surface resistance lands at 10⁶–10⁸ Ω consistently across a finished part instead of relying on a sprayed or dipped coating that abrades away in service. Surface resistivity is about 10⁷ Ω by ASTM D257 — inside the 10⁶–10⁹ Ω static-dissipative band — and because the dispersion does not settle, results repeat build after build and in every print axis.

About this product

Nexa3D xESD is a rigid black LSPc photopolymer built for electronics manufacturing. A stable, uniformly dispersed network of discrete carbon nanotubes — Mechnano MechT technology — holds surface resistivity at roughly 10⁷ Ω by ASTM D257, inside the 10⁶–10⁹ Ω static-dissipative band, and Nexa3D’s own xESD case study reports measured part surface resistance of 10⁶–10⁸ Ω. The dispersion does not settle and leaves no carbon trails, so ESD-safe jigs, fixtures, grippers, trays and enclosures print with isotropic dissipative behaviour instead of a surface coating. Supplied in a 5 kg bottle for NXE 400 and XiP.

Static-dissipative electronics housing printed in Nexa3D xESD.

Why engineers choose xESD

Electrical performance first, then the mechanicals — values from the Nexa3D xESD data sheet.

Surface resistivity ≈10⁷ Ω

ASTM D257 places xESD inside the 10⁶–10⁹ Ω static-dissipative band; measured part surface resistance runs 10⁶–10⁸ Ω across the geometry.

Isotropic, not a coating

The discrete carbon-nanotube network is dispersed through the resin and does not settle, so dissipative behaviour is uniform in every print axis and leaves no carbon trails.

68.1 MPa tensile, 2600 MPa modulus

Ultimate tensile strength of 68.1 MPa with 3.8% elongation at break and 24 J/m notched Izod — rigid fixtures that hold tolerance under daily handling.

97.4 MPa flex, HDT 91.3 °C

Flexural modulus of 1800 MPa and Shore D 87, with a 91.3 °C HDT at 0.45 MPa, keep trays and fixtures stable on a warm assembly line.

What is Nexa3D xESD and how does its carbon-nanotube network work?
xESD is a rigid black photopolymer for Nexa3D LSPc printers, built on a urethane-dimethacrylate base carrying a stable dispersion of discrete, functionalised carbon nanotubes — Mechnano MechT technology. Because the nanotubes stay separated rather than clumping, they form a continuous conductive path through the cured part at low loading. The dispersion does not settle in the vat, so every bottle of xESD prints the same way from first layer to last, and finished parts leave no carbon trails on the surfaces they touch. That is what gives xESD repeatable static-dissipative behaviour in all three print axes rather than only on the outer skin.
What surface resistance does xESD achieve, and what does static-dissipative mean?
Surface resistivity for xESD is about 10⁷ Ω measured to ASTM D257. The static-dissipative band runs from 10⁶ to 10⁹ Ω — above conductive materials, below insulators — so charge bleeds away in a controlled way instead of either flowing instantly or building up. Nexa3D's own xESD case study reports measured part surface resistance of 10⁶ to 10⁸ Ω, with uniform and repeatable readings across the part. In practice that means a tray or fixture printed in xESD drains static from the components it touches without the rapid discharge a fully conductive material would allow.
Which printers run xESD?
xESD is formulated for Nexa3D LSPc systems: the NXE 400 production platform and the XiP 4K desktop printer. We stock two formats — this 5 kg bottle and a 1.5 kg unit for XiP — and both ship with the validated LSPc print profile, so you are not hunting for exposure settings. A wash station and a UV cure station are required and are sold separately. xESD is not cross-compatible with other resin platforms; if you run a different machine, talk to our materials desk and we will point you at a static-dissipative option that suits it.
What are the mechanical properties of xESD?
xESD is rigid rather than ductile. Typical data-sheet values are 68.1 MPa ultimate tensile strength on a 2600 MPa tensile modulus, 97.4 MPa flexural strength on a 1800 MPa flexural modulus, 3.8% elongation at break, 24 J/m notched Izod and Shore D 87. Heat deflection is 91.3 °C at 0.45 MPa per ASTM D648. That means xESD holds its shape in fixtures and trays and resists deflection under clamping loads, but it is not the resin for living hinges or parts that must flex. All values are post-cured and process-dependent.
How do I wash and post-cure xESD parts?
Wash xESD in IPA or xClean using two intervals of two minutes each, then dry the part fully before curing with an LED or wide-spectrum UV source per the data sheet. Two short intervals rather than one long soak matter here: over-soaking any photopolymer softens fine features and leaches surface material, and with xESD you want the dissipative network at the surface left intact. Let parts dry completely — solvent trapped under a skin cures unevenly and can shift both the mechanical numbers and the measured surface resistance.
What are the typical applications for xESD?
xESD is aimed at electronics and semiconductor manufacturing, where a standard photopolymer part can put high-value components at risk. Typical uses are ESD-safe housings and enclosures, jigs and fixtures for PCB work, end-of-arm grippers on handling automation, component trays for transport and staging, die and substrate handling aids, and alignment or test tooling on the assembly line. Because xESD is dissipative through its bulk rather than through a sprayed coating, tooling keeps working after the surface is scuffed by repeated handling — the failure mode that usually retires coated fixtures.
Can I get a sample or volume pricing on xESD?
Both xESD formats are held in US stock and dispatched in 1–2 business days. If you are ordering 10 L or more, or need an official purchase order raised, contact our materials desk and we will quote volume pricing. We can also arrange a printed xESD sample part so you can verify surface resistance on your own meter before committing to a batch, and share the validated LSPc print profile for your NXE 400 or XiP. Nexa3D LSPc resins are stocked and supported in the US by Additive Plus, with an under-24h response on materials questions.
