If you own a Nexa3D printer, you have probably already noticed: the website is quiet, the sales rep stopped answering, and reordering a membrane or a bottle of resin is no longer a two-click job. It is a fair moment to ask whether your machine has just become an expensive paperweight.
It has not. The printer on your bench works exactly as it did the day it shipped. What changed is the supply chain behind it — and that part is fixable. This guide walks through what actually happened to Nexa3D, which parts your machine depends on, how to tell a genuine Everlast membrane from a look-alike, and where to buy consumables now that the manufacturer is gone.
What actually happened to Nexa3D
In late 2024, Nexa3D told customers it faced funding problems it could not solve, and that it could no longer guarantee customer support or material supply. In December 2024 the company confirmed it was winding down operations.
Shortly after, Stratasys acquired a selection of Nexa3D’s assets — intellectual property, inventory, and equipment — but not the staff or the operating company. In practice that means the Nexa3D brand and its day-to-day operations are over, while the underlying LSPc technology continues inside a larger company.
The old support knowledge base, firmware, and downloads were moved under a separate operator, iSquared-3D, which now hosts the former Nexa3D customer center. It is useful for documentation and guides, but it is not the same as having the original manufacturer stocking parts and answering the phone.
The short version: the company that sold you the printer is gone. The printer, the LSPc process, and the consumables it runs on are not. You just need a reliable place to buy them.
Your XiP, XiP Pro, and NXE 400 still work — here’s what they need

Nexa3D printers are healthy machines with a normal appetite for consumables. They run an LSPc process — a fast, area-cure relative of SLA resin 3D printing — and nothing about the shutdown disables them. The items that wear out and need reordering are the same ones they always did:
- Everlast membranes — the flexible film in the resin vat, rated for roughly 50,000+ layers or about 20 litres per membrane. It is a wear item and needs replacing at the end of its service life. This is the part most owners run out of first.
- Resin — LSPc photopolymers in the cartridge or bottle format your machine uses.
- Vats and build plates — replaced after heavy use or accidental damage.
- LCD and optical parts — on the XiP, the 9.3″ 4K monochrome LCD and its protective glass are serviceable items.
- Filters — air filters for the printer and for the XiP AiR purifier.
- Post-processing consumables — parts and supplies for the xWASH and xCURE stations.
- Small hardware — the alignment kit, cables, and the everyday spares that keep a production machine online.
As long as you can source these, there is no reason to retire a working Nexa3D printer.
Why genuine parts matter on a discontinued platform

On a platform the manufacturer no longer supports, a bad consumable is more expensive than it looks. A membrane that is out of spec can ruin a build, contaminate resin, or damage the vat — and there is no warranty department to make it right. That makes the source of the part matter more now, not less.
Genuine Everlast membranes are made to the original Nexa3D specification, with the correct film, tension, and frame. Two things are worth confirming on any order:
- The part number matches your model. An Everlast membrane for a XiP is not the same as one for a XiP Pro or an NXE (see the table below).
- Someone can answer a technical question. If nobody can confirm the part fits your exact machine and material, it is worth asking before you order.
Which part fits your machine
The most common ordering mistake is buying the wrong membrane for the wrong printer. Here is the quick reference:
| Printer | Everlast membrane | Resin format | Post-processing |
|---|---|---|---|
| XiP (desktop) | Everlast-2 (blue frame) | 1 L cartridge | xWASH / xCURE |
| XiP Pro (industrial) | Everlast-1 (black frame) | Cartridge / bulk | xWASH / xCURE |
| NXE 400 / 400 Pro | Everlast-1 standard; Everlast-2 for select materials | Bottle | xWASH / xCURE |
A quick note on the two membranes: Everlast-1 (black frame) is the standard membrane for the XiP Pro and NXE 400 / 400 Pro. Everlast-2 (blue frame) is the newer-generation membrane for the XiP, and is also specified for certain materials on the NXE 400 Pro. If you are unsure which your machine or material needs, send us the printer’s serial number or the old part number and we will confirm the correct part before you order.
Where to buy Nexa3D parts now — and how fast
With the manufacturer gone, the two things that matter most on an orphaned platform are simple: is the part genuine and in stock, and can a real person confirm it fits your machine before you order.
That is where we come in. Additive Plus keeps genuine Everlast membranes, LSPc resin, vats, build plates, and spare parts on the shelf in Los Angeles and ships in-stock items the same business day. Every part is made to the original Nexa3D specification — not a look-alike — so a discontinued platform does not become a scrapped build.
And you are not ordering into a void. Send us your printer’s serial number or an old part number and a real engineer will confirm the correct part before you spend a dollar. If something you need is not listed yet, we will source it.
How to keep your Nexa3D printer running for years
A discontinued printer is only a problem if you treat every reorder as a one-off scramble. Owners who keep their machines productive tend to do three things:
- Keep a spare membrane on the shelf. It is the part that ends a print job when it fails, and the one most likely to be out of stock elsewhere.
- Standardize your resin supply. Confirm the exact material and format your machine runs and set a reliable reorder path for it.
- Build a relationship with one supplier who knows the platform. When you can send a serial number and get the right answer, a “dead” printer behaves like a supported one.

Frequently asked questions
Is Nexa3D out of business?
Yes. Nexa3D wound down its operations at the end of 2024 after citing funding problems. Stratasys acquired select assets, including intellectual property and inventory, but not the operating company or its staff. The brand is effectively gone, though the LSPc technology continues within a larger company.
Will my XiP, XiP Pro, or NXE 400 still work?
Yes. The shutdown does not disable your printer. It runs exactly as before. What changed is where you source consumables and parts — the machine itself is unaffected.
Can I still buy genuine Everlast membranes?
Yes. Additive Plus stocks genuine Everlast membranes for XiP, XiP Pro, and NXE 400 in Los Angeles, with same-business-day shipping. Confirm the correct part for your model before ordering — the XiP, XiP Pro, and NXE use different membranes.
Which Everlast membrane fits my printer?
The XiP uses the Everlast-2 (blue frame). The XiP Pro uses the Everlast-1 (black frame). The NXE 400 / 400 Pro uses the Everlast-1 as standard, with the Everlast-2 specified for certain materials. If you are unsure which your machine or material needs, send us your serial number or old part number and we will confirm it before you order.
Where can I get Nexa3D resin now?
We stock LSPc resins in the cartridge and bottle formats Nexa3D printers use. Tell us your machine and the material you were running and we will match it or recommend the closest equivalent.
Are these genuine parts or third-party copies?
Genuine. We supply Everlast membranes, resins, vats, and spare parts made to the original Nexa3D specification — not look-alikes. On a discontinued platform, an out-of-spec consumable can ruin a build or damage the vat, so the source matters.
How fast can I get a part?
In-stock consumables ship the same business day from our Los Angeles warehouse. If you need something that is not listed, send us the part number and we will source it.
