Detroit, Michigan, May 20, 2019-- NXT Factory, a pioneer in the development of Quantum

Laser Sintering (QLSTM) that additively manufactures thermoplastics at convincing speed, today
announced that it will reveal its first fully automated polyamide manufacturing system, the QLS
350, at Rapid+TCT 2019. NXT Factory plans to demonstrate its groundbreaking 3D printer at the
XponentialWorks booth #2117 at the Cobb Center in Detroit, May 21-23.
NXT Factory invites industry practitioners, qualified resellers and strategic partners to see
first-hand the power and potential of this new category of 3D printers. To reserve your private
viewing of the QLS 350 at Rapid+TCT, please make your appointment today by clicking here.
Availability is limited. The company is accepting orders with shipments to commence early in
the second half of 2019.
"We are thrilled to be able to bring to market the first ever high-speed, high-temp,
high-performance polymer system at comparable costs and performance of injection molding,"
said Kuba Graczyk, Co-founder and CEO, NXT Factory. "Over the past three years, we have
worked diligently to develop, test and perfect what we believe to be the only fully automated
laser sintering production system featuring robotically guided exchangeable powder cart,
integrated thermal management and multiple sensors. Our cloud-based production
management system gives end users total control over their printing processes."
Featuring the highest part throughput in its class, the QLS 350 delivers significant savings
compared to traditional tooling costs and provides unprecedented production throughput and
flexibility. The QLS 350 produces up to 4X the print speed of traditional laser sintering

technologies and is on par with the print speed of multi-jet fusion printers thanks to its
proprietary beam delivery system and overall autonomous powder management.
With its removable robotically guided print chamber, for independent cool down and
autonomous depowering module, the QLS 350 delivers a polymer-based production alternative
to traditional injection molding with full Industry 4.0 capabilities designed for fully automated
lights-out 24/7 operation.
"We have been privileged to work with leading automotive suppliers to successfully validate
our QLS 350 cost effectiveness and demonstrate how ownership of this unique system can
increase productivity, expand margins and make low-to-medium size production runs of 8,000
to 12,000 parts per run more profitable," said Avi Reichental Co-Founder and Executive
Chairman, NXT Factory. "Together with our automotive partner, we are successfully improving
the cost effectiveness of short production runs including the elimination of expansive tooling,
reduction of change over times printing with supply chain validated materials that are
recognized by the injection molding industry." Media kit available here.
In connection with the reveal of the QLS 350, NXT Factory announced the launch of its
preferred materials partner program with qualified third-party suppliers. This program is
designed to open NXT Factory's higher throughput production platform to access by the world's
best material suppliers that share the company's focus on accelerating the adoption of digital
manufacturing into mainstream production applications. Suppliers who are interested in the
details of NXT Factory's Partner Program are invited to apply by visiting and clicking here and
scheduling a private appointment at RAPID+TCT.
"At the heart of our technology is our proprietary beam delivery integration with deep-learning
algorithms that make real-time predictive and prescriptive choices to enable intelligent
high-speed printing and real time quality monitoring layer by layer," said Tomasz Cieszyński,
Co-Founder and CTO, NXT Factory. "We are focusing all of our development and manufacturing
efforts around product quality and reliability to ensure that each and every one of our
customers enjoys continuous and repeatable performance on their production floor."
The QLS 350 comes equipped with a robotically guided removable print chamber, built in
thermal management and automated docking. The system can also be ordered with a fully
autonomous depowering system for continuous operations.

About NXT Factory

NXT Factory is pioneering the development of Quantum Laser Sintering (QLSTM) technology that
additively manufactures thermoplastics at convincing speed and scale. The company is
leveraging this technology into its first industrial-grade high-speed additive manufacturing
systems with a clear mandate to replace traditional injection molding of plastic parts at scale.
NXT Factory believes that products currently manufactured using injection molding can be
produced better, faster and cheaper with NXT Factory's proprietary QLSTM technology. Our
purpose is to accelerate the transition of additive manufacturing from rapid prototyping to
industrial strength. We stand on the shoulders of the greatest men and women whom have
successfully pioneered additive manufacturing as we know it today and honor them by
multiplexing their teachings into an exponential additive technology that is simply unstoppable.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
