The Challenge

XEROS is tackling one of the most pressing environmental issues — microfibre and microplastic pollution from everyday laundry. Their innovative XF1 filtration range, designed to integrate directly into washing machines, needed intricate, high-performance components that could be rapidly manufactured. To meet testing and development deadlines, XEROS required parts with precision detail, durability, and a fast turnaround.

 

The Solution

We have partnered with XEROS on multiple projects, utilising a wide range of technologies including vacuum casting, MJF, SLS, and SLA 3D printing. For this application, our team produced selective laser sintered (SLS) components to exacting specifications. Thanks to our flexible off-machine capacity, we were able to turn the parts around in just 2–3 days, ensuring XEROS could continue development without delay.

 

The Results

  • Fast delivery: Fully functional SLS components produced in under 3 days.

  • High-quality precision parts integrated into the XF1 filtration range.

  • Sustainability impact: Independent testing confirms the XF1 captures over 99% of microplastics and more than 80% of cellulosic microfibres.
