What your process engineer actually checks
One lot across the whole run
A single 220 kg drum feeds an entire build campaign on one traceable lot — 52 MPa tensile, 12% elongation, Shore 85 D by BASF Forward AM ASTM methods — so parts hold the same properties and dimensions from first plate to last.
A materials engineer on the line
Drum dispensing, wash-and-cure tuning and print troubleshooting from engineers who run LSPc daily. Sub-4h reply, NDA standard.
x45 Natural is BASF Forward AM’s tough general-purpose photopolymer for Nexa3D LSPc printers, supplied here as a 220 kg production drum. Same 52 MPa tensile, 12% elongation and 15 cm/hr-plus build speed as the cartridge grade — sized for continuous, high-throughput printing on XiP Pro and NXE fleets.
Why production teams standardize on x45
A tough, fast resin sized for volume, with numbers behind every claim.
Tough, not brittle
52 MPa tensile strength, 12% elongation at break and 20 J/m notched Izod. Functional parts that get handled and tested, not just displayed.
Ultrafast on LSPc
Vertical build speeds above 15 cm/hr on XiP Pro and NXE. Layer-at-once curing keeps throughput high across a full plate.
Production-scale supply
A single 220 kg drum feeds continuous or automated resin delivery, so a fleet runs on one traceable lot instead of dozens of cartridges.
Lot-consistent parts
Every drum ships with batch traceability and Nexa3D-validated print styles, so parts hold the same dimensions and properties across a run.
How we supply the x45 drum
Scheduled production supply, a validated profile and a repeatable finish.
Scheduled supply
The 220 kg drum is made to order; we confirm lead time and schedule delivery to match your production cadence.
Print on LSPc
Feed XiP Pro or NXE systems from the drum using the validated x45 profile in NexaX — no settings to develop.
Wash & cure
Two 2-minute washes in IPA or xClean, then UV post-cure to reach the full 52 MPa / Shore 85 D properties.
