Technology & Products
Key Products
XECARB® (carbon fiber-reinforced composites up to 50% CF); XECARB® HM (high modulus); XECARB® SL (superlight); XECARB® ST (super tough); XELIGHT® (ultra-light PEBA-based); XEBRID™ (hybrid composites); XEGLASS® (glass fiber-reinforced); XEGREEN® (recycled/bio-based); XERAMIC™ (ceramic-reinforced); SOFT MATERIALS™; 3DP MATERIALS line (filaments & pellets for AM)
Technological Advantage
25+ years of composite formulation expertise; 150+ customizable formulations; proprietary compounding technology; partnerships with Arkema (Kynar PVDF) and PlastiComp (long-fiber thermoplastics); ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified; bio-based and recycled material options (30%+ of formulations include biopolymers)
Differentiation
Value Proposition
High-performance reinforced thermoplastic composites optimized for both injection molding and additive manufacturing, enabling metal replacement with lightweight, chemically resistant, and thermally stable parts.
How They Differentiate
Unlike pure-play 3D printing filament companies, Xenia brings decades of experience in high-performance composite development for aerospace and sports, with over 150 customizable formulations. Their materials achieve tensile moduli up to 40,000 MPa, thermal conductivity >15 W/mK, and surface resistivity down to 100 Ω for ATEX environments. They offer both filament (FFF/FDM) and pellet (FGF/LSAM) formats from the same proven formulations.
