Exposure, cure and detail you can trust

xMODEL15 resolves fine features at 405 nm with a smooth as-printed finish. The validated exposure and post-cure profile is published for the XiP and XiP Pro — you print to a known recipe, not a guess, and cartridge reorders match lot-to-lot.

About this product

Nexa3D xMODEL15-Black is an economical 405 nm LSPc photopolymer for fast, high-detail concept and appearance models on the XiP platform. The black pigment hides layer stepping and holds edge contrast, so parts read as finished presentation models with minimal finishing work.

Nexa3D xMODEL15 Black resin – 405 nm LSPc model photopolymer for XiP 3D printing
xMODEL15-Black in the 1.5 kg cartridge for Nexa3D XiP and XiP Pro.

Why engineers choose xMODEL15-Black

A model resin picked on surface quality, stiffness and cost per part.

Detail that survives finishing

78–80 D Shore hardness and 55 MPa tensile strength give a hard, stable surface that sands, primes, paints and plates without smearing fine edges.

Built for LSPc speed

200–300 mPa·s at 30 °C keeps resin flow and membrane release fast, so the XiP light engine runs continuous layer cycles.

Black hides layer lines

The pigmented black formulation cuts light scatter and visible stepping, the practical choice for presentation models and hidden internal parts.

Predictable stiffness

1800 MPa tensile modulus with 10% elongation at break keeps thin walls and small features rigid through handling, fit checks and photography.

How we supply xMODEL15-Black

From sealed cartridge to cured model, with settings that already work.

Step 01
Formulated & tested

Genuine Nexa3D chemistry, tested to ASTM and GB/T methods so the published tensile, hardness and HDT values are the ones you design against.

Step 02
Stocked & lot-matched

1.5 kg cartridges held in US stock and shipped lot-matched, so a repeat order prints to the same exposure settings as the last one.

Step 03
Print, wash & cure

You get the validated LSPc profile for XiP or XiP Pro plus the wash and UV post-cure routine behind the table below.

Typical applications

Where black model resin earns its place.

Concept models
Fast form and proportion studies at low cost per part
Appearance models
High-contrast black surfaces that show geometry, not layers
Fit and assembly checks
Rigid parts at 1800 MPa modulus for tolerance verification
Hidden internal parts
Housings, brackets and inserts that never get painted
Design reviews
Handheld models for sign-off before tooling spend
Photography and display
Primed and painted models for catalogue and trade-show use

Compatible printers & post-processing

This 1.5 kg cartridge feeds the Nexa3D XiP and XiP Pro desktop LSPc printers. The same xMODEL15-Black chemistry is also sold in a 5 kg bottle for the NXE 400 and NXE 400 Pro, so you can move a validated part to the production frame without changing resin. Post-processing is a two-stage wash — xClean first, then IPA — with total submersion kept under roughly five minutes to protect fine features and surface finish, followed by a full dry and a UV post-cure. Skipping the dry before cure is the usual cause of tacky black surfaces.

Tell us your printer, target detail level and finishing route — a materials engineer will confirm whether xMODEL15-Black or a stiffer grade fits, and send the exposure and cure settings with it. Sub-4h reply, NDA standard.

Which Nexa3D printers does this xMODEL15 cartridge fit?
This 1.5 kg cartridge of xMODEL15 is made for the Nexa3D XiP and XiP Pro desktops, which take cartridges directly. The same resin is also sold as a 5 kg bottle for NXE 400 and NXE 400 Pro systems. Additive Plus supplies the validated 405 nm LSPc exposure and cure profile so xMODEL15 prints to a known recipe on your machine.
What colors and sizes does xMODEL15 come in?
xMODEL15 is available in Black, Gray and White. The 1.5 kg cartridge feeds the XiP and XiP Pro; the 5 kg bottle feeds NXE 400, NXE 400 Pro and XiP Pro. All three colors share the same LSPc chemistry and property set, so choose by contrast and finishing needs — black for high-contrast presentation models, gray for design reviews, white as a paint and plating base.
How do I post-process xMODEL15 parts?
Wash printed xMODEL15 parts in xClean followed by IPA — keep total submersion under about five minutes — then dry and UV post-cure. Post-cure is what brings xMODEL15 to its full 55 MPa tensile strength and 78–80 Shore D hardness, so an under-cured part will feel soft. The Technical Data Sheet in Downloads lists the validated cure recipe, and a materials engineer can confirm settings for your wash-and-cure station.
What is xMODEL15 best used for?
xMODEL15 is an economical model resin for concept models, appearance and fit-check parts, design-review models and light jigs. Its strength is high detail and a smooth, finish-ready surface at a low cost per part, which makes it the right choice when you iterate often. For rigid functional models with higher heat resistance, step up to xMODEL35; for dental model work, see xMODEL 2505.
How should I store xMODEL15 cartridges?
Keep xMODEL15 cartridges sealed in their original packaging, away from direct light and heat, at room temperature. Shake or mix the cartridge before loading it into the XiP, and filter reclaimed resin before returning it so cured fragments do not go back into circulation. Stored sealed and correctly, xMODEL15 holds its printing properties through its stated shelf life.
Is xMODEL15 biocompatible or certified for medical or dental use?
No. xMODEL15 is a general modeling resin and carries no biocompatibility or medical certification of any kind, so it should not be used for patient-contact applications. For biocompatible work, use xMED412, which is capable of meeting ISO 10993-5, -10 and -23 when processed in a validated workflow; for dental model and thermoforming work, use xMODEL 2505. A materials engineer can point you to the right grade.
Can I get a sample before ordering in volume?
Yes. Request the Nexa3D LSPc resin sample kit to print xMODEL15 on your own XiP and workflow before committing to volume. Additive Plus stocks the resin in the US and ships in two business days, and supports official purchase orders and volume pricing for production accounts.
