Our new VXL 150 support material, which generated significant interest last year, has been specifically developed for high-temperature printing. It is the optimal solution for complex printing projects with demanding materials such as PEKK, PEEK, PC, and Ultem. With the VXL 150, we are expanding our portfolio of soluble support materials, which already includes the variants VXL 70, VXL 90, VXL 111, and VXL 130. The VXL product variants offer you the flexibility to print complex geometries and large parts with almost any model material on nearly all extrusion 3D printers.

We are excited to introduce the brand-new Typhoon 70 tank, available in three different versions. Each of these variants offers nearly double the capacity, with 74 liters. A foldable, height-adjustable basket further simplifies the handling and cleaning of the device. The Typhoon 70 is available in three versions: as a support removal station for post-processing FFF and FGF prints, as a dissolution station for post-processing SLA, DLP, CLIP, Stratasys Neo SLA, Stratasys PolyJet, and Keyence Agilista prints, as well as a dyeing station for SLS, MJF, and Stratasys SAF prints.

Additionally, we are presenting the new XIONEER DENTAL Support Removal Station. A heated desktop device specifically designed for the quick and easy removal of support material in a water bath. The XIONEER DENTAL is the dissolution station for Stratasys PolyJet 3D printers, such as the J3 DentaJet or the J5 DentaJet.

We continue to offer our optimized VORTEX EZ Support Removal Station. This dissolution station is designed to remove soluble support materials and enables fast and straightforward post-processing of your 3D prints.

At our booth, we will also showcase the high-temp and high-speed capabilities of our technologies live on a leading 3D printer, the Raise3D Pro3. Materials from BASF and Polymaker will be used to demonstrate the impressive performance of these combinations directly on-site. These partnerships underline our commitment to delivering top-tier print quality and speed.

Introducing the Game-Changing 3D Printing Material Portfolio from Forward AM and Xioneer


When it comes to 3D printing, achieving consistent and reproducible parts is key. This is where the outstanding quality of Forward AM Ultrafuse® model materials come into play. They provide a crucial foundation for producing parts that meet the highest standards.

To fully unleash the geometric freedom of 3D printing and minimize manual rework, soluble support materials are a must, too. Leading the way in this field are the various grades of Xioneer’s VXL support filaments. Xioneer’s unique soluble polymer formulation has made these support filaments indispensable in professional FFM 3D printing.

Until now, complex geometries, part size, and different rheological properties of model and support materials, have been limiting factors for achieving high 3D-printing speeds. In some cases, certain material combinations only allowed a modest speed of 20 mm/s at the interface of the model and support.

The good news is that Forward AM and Xioneer have made significant improvements. We have qualified an exceptional filament material portfolio of model materials and soluble support materials, specifically designed for high-speed printing. Depending on the material combination, this breakthrough technology overcomes the previous limitations, enabling printing speeds ranging from 100 to 300 mm/s at the interface.

This speed improvement is particularly crucial as the demand for additive series production of final components continues to grow. Faster printing at the model-support interface significantly reduces production times, meeting the needs of modern additive manufacturing.

Excitingly, Forward AM and Xioneer are planning to make this groundbreaking material technology available to their distribution partners soon. This moves promises to revolutionize 3D printing and pave the way for even greater possibilities in the future.

Xioneer to showcase three new products for FFF 3D printing at formnext 2023

Xioneer launches soluble support filaments for high-speed printing, a new high-temperature soluble support filament VXL 150 and a large modular support removal, cleaning and drying station for FFF 3D printer market. Xioneer is developer, manufacturer and a leading OEM supplier of soluble support products consisting of materials, post-processing devices and accessories. At Formnext, they will have several new products to demonstrate.

NEW:     Soluble Support Material Xioneer VXL 150 for High-Temperature-3D-Printing

For example, Xioneer is launching its new soluble support material VXL 150, which is optimized for printing with high temperature model materials, e.g. with PEKK, PEEK, PC, Ultem. VXL 150 expands the soluble support materials portfolio of Xioneer, consisting of VXL 70, VXL 90, VXL 111, VXL 130. The materials portfolio enables complex prints with almost all model materials on all FFF printers.

NEW:     Xioneer XVL Soluble Support Material Product Family Designed for High-Speed-3D-Printing

For those who focus on highspeed printing are facing the challenge that complex geometries and the size of the parts, as well as the different rheological properties of model materials and soluble support materials, have been the limiting factors for high 3D printing speeds. In particular, current soluble support materials consisting of mixtures with polyvinyl alcohol are unsuitable for printing with high-speed printing filaments. But Xioneer is rolling out its soluble support materials for high-speed printing that overcomes the previous limitations. Depending on the material combination and printer settings, the interface can be printed at speeds over 300mm/s, which is particularly crucial for the growing demand for additive series production of final components to significantly reduce production times.

NEW:      Xioneer Vortex XP Modular and Scalable Support Removal System 

Meanwhile, the Vortex XP system is aimed at a cost-effective post-processing that, due to the modularity of the system, the tank volumes are scalable for users of FFF-3D desktop printer up to FFF-3D industrial printers with large chamber volumes. The Vortex RCD is a fully automatic system, consisting heatable, modularly combined immersion baths with agitator for aqueous or alkaline solutions for the support removal with subsequent cleaning and drying of 3D printed parts. The immersion baths are offered between 30 liters and 190 liters and can be combined in the system with each other.

Xioneer Demonstrates 4 New Innovations On the Formnext 2022


The formnext in Frankfurt is a must-see highlight for every 3D printing professional. Every year, exhibitors from all over the world embark on a journey to Frankfurt to display their achievements on their gleaming booths.

From 15.11 to 18.11.2022, Xioneer demonstrated its four innovations.

With a growing demand for soluble support materials, Xioneer introduced two new materials to its family of filaments: PVA and BVOH. These polymer products represent a perfect entry into the world of soluble supports – available in our store.

As you passed our booth, you couldn’t help but notice our automated support-removal station, Vortex PRO. What at first looks like a household washing machine is, in fact, a fully automated device to remove soluble supports from your FFF parts. This year, we showed the Vortex PRO FX65: an industrial-grade machine that can handle larger throughputs and models.

A noticeable highlight of the formnext 2022 was our Vortex EZ Dyeing Station. Its 38 Liters tank will infuse color into your SLS, SLA, FDM, MJF and SAF 3D printed parts. With its low price point, Vortex EZ is probably the most affordable professional dyeing station today – now in stock in our online store.

We also announced our cooperation with the materials manufacturer Victrex® and a software innovator Hexagon®. In an exciting joint project, “First-Time-Right 3D Printing of AM200® (PAEK)”, we demonstrated an innovative approach to use VXL soluble supports with Digimat-AM® simulation software. It’s a revolutionary way to 3D print PAEK using amorphous 3D printing and annealing.

But what a formnext be without its booth parties? So this year, Xioneer was humbled to host several booth events serving hot pretzels from a local bakery with a refreshing Franconian beer.

The formnext 2022 was a fantastic event, and we are grateful to all customers, partners, and friends who made it such as success!

Mayors of 3 European Cities Listen to the Story of Xioneer


Mayors of Vienna, Berlin, and Bern Visit Vienna's Happylab on 09. July 2021

As the director of Xioneer Systems GmbH, I had the honor to tell the story of Xioneer to the delegation of VIPs, which included Dr. Michael Ludwig (mayor of Vienna), Michael Müller (mayor of Berlin), and Alec von Graffenried (the city president of Bern).

The truth is: Like a few other startups, Xioneer also has its roots in Happylab too. The Vienna fab lab helped us get off the ground as a hardware startup back in 2016.

In 2006, Happylab started out as a local fab lab for makers and enthusiasts who wanted to make prototypes. You could find there a variety of machines, tools, and devices that help you cut, mill, and solder parts. Basically, Happylab was a workshop that let you turn your ideas into real things.  Over time, more people joined and the community grew to over 2000 members. In 2014, Happylab opened its second location in Salzburg, and just two years later, in 2016, Happylab opens its doors in the capital of Germany.

Among other startups and makers, Xioneer Systems had its beginnings in Happylab too. We made the parts for our first prototypes – often in the late-night hours in the Happylab’s workshop in the second Vienna district. By creating the parts ourselves we were able to iterate our designs quickly. If a part didn’t fit or the design didn’t work – we just made another part in an hour. Day-by-day, our prototype grew. The rest is history.

Thanks to Happylab for this opportunity to share our story.
