Technology & Products
Key Products
Xioneer Systems GmbH develops and manufactures advanced water-soluble support materials (VXL 70, VXL 90, VXL 111, VXL 130, VXL 150, PVA, BVOH) and professional support removal stations (Vortex EZ) for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printing. They also offer the Xioneer Desktop 3D printer with a patented tool-changer.
Technological Advantage
The support material is environmentally friendly, non-hazardous, and more efficient than traditional soluble supports like PVA. The complete system (material and removal station) offers a streamlined and reliable workflow. Strong R&D and material science backing from parent company BellandTechnology AG.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Simplifies the post-processing of 3D printed parts through a reliable, safe, and efficient soluble support system, enabling more complex designs and improving print quality.
How They Differentiate
Xioneer Systems GmbH differentiates through its unique alkaline-soluble material chemistry, marketed as faster, safer, and more effective than water-soluble PVA. They offer a complete, integrated system, including their VXL soluble support materials and the Vortex EZ removal station, for an optimized FFF 3D printing workflow. They also highlight their patented technology in their 3D printers.
