Nexa3D Solutions vs. Origin One Comparison
The XiP Pro and NXE 400Pro solutions from Nexa3D and Stratasys Origin One are three of the most popular high-speed, industrial 3D printers available. Here is a simple comparison between the systems to help you determine which one is better for your particular application.
Nexa3D® XiP Pro
XiP Pro offers the highest daily throughput in its class at the lowest operational costs making it ideal for industrial users looking to scale additive production
Nexa3D® NXE 400Pro
For labs, workshops, and production facilities, NXE 400Pro offers a large build volume, great accuracy, and fast printing thanks to Nexa3D’s proprietary LSPc® tech.
Stratasys® Origin One
Origin One is one of several Stratasys resin-based 3D printers. Origin One offers high-speed 3D printing utilizing its P3™ tech for manufacturing and prototyping applications.

3D Printing Technologies
Nexa3D LSPc Technology
Lubricant Sublayer Photo-curing utilizes a proprietary membrane that reduces peel force enabling high-speed 3D printing for parts small and large, solid and latticed. An industrial LED light engine further enables high resolution and high precision 3D printing.
Origin P3
Programmable PhotoPolymerization (P3) is a version of DLP with a variety of sensors to control variables throughout the print and an inflating membrane that acts to remove the print from the vat bottom.
Throughput Comparison
Nexa3D’s XiP Pro and NXE 400Pro printers are able to manufacture parts with a significantly higher throughput than the Stratasys Origin One, translating to more parts in the same amount of time and lower cost per part for manufacturers. Here’s how these printers compare*:

Post-Processing Systems
NXE Pro Series
xWash / xCure
The NXE Pro Series offers two purpose-built post-processing accessories. The xWASH holds up to two full builds in its 35 L volume and completely washes residual resin in a 2-4 minutes. The xCURE can hold three full builds and has the ability cure and heat parts with preset profiles built in.
Origin One
3rd-Party Only
Origin One does offer a purpose built post-processing solution, but they do recommend a list of third-party options. The wash baths tend to use ultrasonic waves. The Branson 8800 is a standard example with a bath volume of about 20 L – meaning parts may need to be washed in batches.
Build Volume Comparison
With a build volume of 17 liters, NXE 400Pro has more than double the build volume of the Origin One (7.5 liters). Broken down by axis, NXE 400Pro is 43% wider on the x-axis, 43% deeper on the y-axis, and 8% taller on the z-axis. Thanks to advanced part stacking combined with core LSPc tech, this translates into a difference of hundreds of additional parts per build on the NXE 400Pro without any increase in time.
Cost Comparison
Cost Comparison
The NXE 400Pro ($62,895) comes in at 40% less than the up-front cost of the Origin One ($99,000).
