Why xRook?
We took the iconic 3D printed rook and gave it a major upgrade. Redesigned mesh walls, added textures, and embossed and engraved text, and a complex unsupported hand structure inside all highlight XiP’s detail capabilities.
Mesh Walls
Mesh walls show an important capability of design for lightweighting parts. An element that is nearly impossible with other technologies.
Text Embossed and Engraved
Text printed on XiP is not only legible but beautiful. xRook displays text throughout both embossed and engraved.
Dynamic Texturing
XiP is capable of producing high level detail in texturing, enabling unique design elements that stand out.
Complex Unsupported Internal Structure
At the center of xRook is a complex hand reaching for the sky. xRook is printed entirely without supports showcasing XiP’s unique capabilities.
Span Bridging
Fine feature bridging saves time and reduces the need for additional supports.
Smooth Surface Finish
XiP is capable of smooth surface finish with 50 micron layer height and antialiasing technology for sub-pixel xy resolution.
Printed FAST. Powered by Nexa3D’s industrial LSPc™ technology
