Nexa3D LSPc Resin 3D Printing Service
High-speed part production using advanced photopolymer materials.
Rapidly Prototype and Produce Parts Without Tooling
Nexa3D’s Lubricant Sub-Layer Light Curing (LSPc®) technology delivers exceptionally fast and accurate 3D printing, making it ideal for both low-volume and high-volume production. Components can be produced using a diverse range of materials, including those that simulate ceramic and rubber properties, as well as engineered functional resins tailored for medical, dental, and commercial applications. Fuming’s facilities are equipped with NXE 400Pro and XiP Pro production printers, alongside XiP desktop systems for prototype and low-volume requirements.
Beyond conventional printed prototypes, Nexa3D LSPc® and its advanced resin formulations enable the production of end-use components, positioning it as a compelling alternative to polyurethane casting or low-volume injection molding.

Finishes Available for Nexa3D LSPc® Parts
Our standard finish option. Supported surfaces are lightly sanded using 220 or 320 grit sandpaper, followed by media blasting to achieve a consistent matte appearance.
Supported surfaces are lightly sanded using 220 or 320 grit sandpaper to enhance surface quality, though visible sanding scratches will remain on these areas.
Supported areas may exhibit small grid-like dots or surface blemishes resulting from support removal.
Fuming provides additional finishing options, including but not limited to sanding, polishing, painting, post-thermal processing, and plating to meet your requirements.
What is Nexa3D LSPc® Technology?
LSPc stands for Lubricant Sublayer Photo-curing, a type of mSLA (masked stereolithography apparatus) printing process. This technology uses an LED array as a light source combined with an LCD photomask to selectively shape image layers. The images pass through a specialized membrane on which layers of photopolymer resin are cured. As each layer solidifies, the build platform rises, resin is replenished, and subsequent layers are formed, building parts over time. The key innovation in Nexa3D’s LSPc technology lies in their proprietary Everlast membrane, designed to minimize peel and separation forces during printing. This chemically inert, flexible membrane achieves lubricity without relying on oxygen-permeable elements, enabling LSPc technology to print with a wide range of resins at exceptional speed and efficiency.
After printing, parts are washed to remove uncured resin and receive a final cure in a UV light oven. Nexa3D’s open material platform offers numerous engineered resins, most of which achieve final properties through standard UV curing without requiring additional post-processing steps. While comparable technologies such as Carbon DLS™ may benefit from supplementary processing, these extra steps can extend post-production time and increase material costs. The efficiency and simplicity of post-processing LSPc® parts make this technology particularly advantageous for high-volume 3D printing and a viable alternative to production methods like urethane casting or quick-turn molding.
Benefits of LSPc® 3D Printing
The speed and efficiency of Nexa3D’s LSPc® 3D printing process make it an excellent solution for rapid design iteration and higher-volume production. A carefully curated selection of engineered printing resins enables components to achieve unique properties suitable for end-use applications and demanding environments. LSPc® printed parts deliver high resolution, fine detail, dimensional accuracy, and excellent surface finish.
With LSPc® technology, the number of parts does not affect per-layer printing speed, making it particularly advantageous for producing large quantities of smaller components in minimal time. Simple post-processing procedures and swappable build trays—such as those in Nexa3D’s XiP printer—further enhance production efficiency. LSPc® serves as an effective bridge between initial production runs and higher-volume manufacturing solutions like injection molding.
