What your process engineer actually checks

Cure you can repeat

Six 365 + 405 nm LED strips give 360° coverage against a reflective interior, and heat is controlled from 30 to 60 °C in 1 °C steps. Validated recipes per resin mean the same part comes out with the same mechanical properties on Monday and on Friday - not a cure guess that changes with operator or ambient temperature.

About this product

Nexa3D xCURE is a production post-curing station that combines dual-wavelength UV light and controlled heat to finish resin parts to consistent, repeatable mechanical properties — build after build.

Why production teams cure on the xCURE

Post-curing is where resin parts reach full strength — the xCURE makes that step measurable and repeatable.

Dual-wavelength coverage

Six 365 + 405 nm LED strips wrap the chamber in 360° light with a reflective interior, covering the initiator range of Nexa3D photoplastics for even cure.

Heat plus light, three modes

30–60 °C in 1 °C increments across three modes — UV only, heat only, or UV + heat — so each material runs its correct thermal-cure sequence.

Validated resin recipes

Pre-loaded workflow-cure profiles for approved Nexa3D resins, plus a custom-input option. Consistent results without dialing in cure by trial and error.

Production capacity

A 16 L chamber takes the full NXE 400 print envelope — up to three build plates at once, or a basket for loose parts cured individually.

How the xCURE fits your workflow

Three steps from washed parts to finished, spec-ready components.

Step 01
Load

Cure parts directly on the build plate, stack up to three plates, or drop loose parts in the basket. No re-fixturing between steps.

Step 02
Select recipe

Pick the validated profile for your resin on the LCD, or enter a custom time-temperature-mode sequence with the rotary knob.

Step 03
Cure

The chamber runs the UV and thermal sequence to full cure — delivering consistent mechanical properties part to part and build to build.

Wash and cure as one line

The xCURE finishes what the xWASH starts. Run both and parts go from build plate to spec-ready without re-fixturing between stages. Tell us your daily part volume and we will size the pair to your throughput.

Common questions

Which printers and resins is the Nexa3D xCURE compatible with?
The xCURE is built around the Nexa3D ecosystem. Its 16 L chamber is sized to take the full print envelope of the NXE 400, and it accepts up to three build plates at once or a basket of loose parts. It ships pre-loaded with validated workflow-cure recipes for approved Nexa3D photoplastic resins, and the recipe library is upgradeable over USB as new materials are qualified. Because it also offers a custom mode where you set time, temperature, and cure type yourself, the xCURE will post-cure third-party photopolymers - you simply develop and record the sequence rather than selecting a pre-set. Send us your resin list and we will confirm coverage before you order.
What UV wavelengths does the xCURE use and why are there two?
The xCURE uses six LED strips that emit at both 365 nm and 405 nm. Photoinitiators in different resins absorb at different wavelengths, so a single-wavelength lamp cures some materials well and leaves others under-cured at depth. Running both wavelengths covers a broader slice of the initiator range used across Nexa3D photoplastics. The strips are arranged for 360-degree coverage and the chamber interior is reflective, so light reaches undercuts and interior faces rather than only the surfaces pointing at a lamp. That combination is what makes cure consistent across a full plate rather than only in the middle of it.
Why does the xCURE add heat, and what is the temperature range?
Heat raises polymer chain mobility so crosslinking continues further toward completion than light alone achieves at room temperature. That is what converts a part from geometrically finished to mechanically finished. The xCURE controls chamber temperature from 30 to 60 degrees C in 1 degree C increments and runs three modes: UV only, heat only, and UV plus heat. Many Nexa3D resins reach their published mechanical properties only on a combined sequence, which is why the validated recipes specify both. Heat-only mode is also useful for annealing steps and for materials where a thermal soak follows the light cycle.
How many parts or build plates can the xCURE process at once?
The xCURE chamber holds 16 litres, which is the full print envelope of the NXE 400. You can load up to three build plates simultaneously and cure parts directly on the plate, so there is no need to remove and re-fixture parts between washing and curing. Alternatively, a basket lets you cure loose parts individually, which suits mixed small-part batches and dental work. For a shop running one printer, that capacity generally means post-cure is not the bottleneck. If you are running several printers, tell us your daily part volume and we will confirm whether one xCURE keeps up.
Do I still need a parts washer if I have the xCURE?
Yes. Washing and curing are two separate stages and the xCURE only does the second. Parts come off a resin printer coated in uncured resin, and curing that residue in place locks it onto the surface, which harms both dimensional accuracy and finish. Parts must be washed first, then cured. The Nexa3D xWASH is the matching wash stage: a 35 L Tritan tank with variable-speed magnetic-impeller agitation that accepts the same build plates. Running xWASH then xCURE gives you one continuous line with no re-fixturing. We can quote the pair together and size them to your throughput.
What power supply and floor space does the xCURE need?
The xCURE draws 360 W total input power and is available for US 100-120 VAC 60 Hz or EU 200-240 VAC 50 Hz supply, so it runs from a standard wall outlet rather than requiring special electrical work. Its footprint is roughly 21 x 20 x 32 in / 533 x 508 x 813 mm (W x D x H), and it weighs about 110 lb / 50 kg empty, so it sits on a bench or a rolling cart in a normal shop or lab. No compressed air, extraction, or plumbing is required. Confirm your voltage when ordering so we ship the correct configuration.
How do I control the xCURE and can cure recipes be updated?
The xCURE uses an LCD screen with a single rotary knob - rotate to select, push to confirm. You choose a validated resin profile or enter a custom sequence specifying duration, temperature, and whether the cycle runs UV, heat, or both. Recipes are upgradeable: you load a file from a computer over USB, so the machine stays current as Nexa3D qualifies additional materials without any hardware change. For teams that need documented process control, recording the selected recipe per batch gives you a repeatable, auditable post-cure step. Our engineers can help you build and validate custom sequences.
