Download nowThe XiP Pro from Nexa3D and Stratasys Origin One are two 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.
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. Learn More
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.
46 μm with 23 μm sub-pixel resolution
50 μm
Lubricant Sublayer Photo-curing utilizes a proprietary membrane that reduces peel forces 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.
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.
Nexa3D’s XiP Pro 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:
Print Time (Full Build) |
Parts Per Build |
Print Time Per Part |

---|---|---|---|---|
XiP Pro* | 1 Hour 36 Minutes | 66 | 1.5 Minutes | 758 |
Origin One† | 2 Hours 53 Minutes | 28 | 6 Minutes | 178 |

Nexa3D 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 to cure and heat parts with preset profiles built in.
Origin One does not 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.
