(Mussolente, Italy) has announced a new range of 3D printing materials, comprised of resins combined with chopped fibers and additives. The materials are made for use in any pellet-based fused deposition modeling (FDM) printer, for large-scale additive manufacturing (LSAM) as well as high-precision production.
Xenia will offer materials dedicated to 3D printing based on its existing range of product families: Xecarb, Xebrid, Xelight and Xegreen. The Xecarb 3DP brand includes carbon fiber-reinforced PEI, ABS and PC. Xebrid 3DP includes a glass and carbon fiber-reinforced ABS. Xelight 3DP includes a lightweight polyether block amide (PEBA), and Xegreen 3DP includes carbon fiber-reinforced PA6 and PA66. According to Xenia, the materials are recyclable and suitable for a wide range of applications and markets including industry, sport, sustainable mobility and defense.
