Technology & Products
Key Products
XJet offers the Carmel 1400C and Carmel Pro systems, utilizing NanoParticle Jetting (NPJ) technology. Their material portfolio includes technical metals, precious metals, and ceramics such as high-purity alumina, zirconia, aluminum nitride, tungsten carbide, silicon nitride, and ceramic composites.
Technological Advantage
Combines the precision of inkjet printing with the material properties of traditional manufacturing; allows for the creation of ultra-fine details and internal cavities that are impossible to machine or produce with other 3D printing methods.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Delivers production-grade parts with industry-leading surface finish and resolution through a 'powderless' liquid process that eliminates the safety hazards of dry powder and enables the use of soluble support materials for complex geometries.
How They Differentiate
XJet utilizes proprietary NanoParticle Jetting (NPJ) technology, which uses liquid suspensions of nanoparticles rather than dry powders. This ensures a safer 'powderless' workflow, enables higher resolution and surface finish comparable to CNC machining, and allows for the use of soluble support materials to create complex internal geometries that are difficult for competitors using manual support removal.
