Axtra3D links 3D printing and post-processing with Axtra Workflow

Axtra3D is presenting Axtra Workflow, an end-to-end ecosystem for additive manufacturing that covers everything from build job preparation and printing through to washing, curing and analysis processes. In addition, the company is launching the Axtra.Wash and Axtra.Cure post-processing systems as well as the Axtra.Insight data and analytics platform, and is updating the LumiaX1 printer and the Volume build-prep software. The target group is industrial users in aerospace, medical technology, dental and tooling who require processes that can be validated.

Axtra.Wash handles automated cleaning and drying of parts and can process up to three cleaning media in multiple tanks. Material- and part-specific washing and drying profiles are taken over from the software in order to minimize manual settings. Axtra.Cure combines UV and thermal treatment in a single unit. The UV chamber operates with three separately controllable wavelength bands at 355, 385 and 405 nanometers, supplemented by thermal post-treatment with cycles of up to 250 degrees Celsius.

“Manufacturers need more than one-off print wins. They need validated, repeatable workflows that scale from prototype to production. Axtra Workflow solves that problem by tightly integrating printing and processing hardware, materials, and software into a learning, traceable production system,” says Rajeev Kulkarni, Chief Strategy Officer, Axtra3D.

Axtra.Insight aggregates process data from more than 155 sensors in the printer and peripheral systems. The platform provides layer-based process monitoring, predictive maintenance, fleet reporting, MES integration and complete job histories. TruLayer and HPS sensor data are linked to create audit trails for quality-critical applications.

Rajeev adds, “With the new products, and the workflow intelligence from Axtra.Insight, users benefit from a fully connected and validated setup from design to final product. It reduces errors and rework, streamlines throughput, enhances part quality, and facilitates traceability for regulatory compliance and quality assurance. It truly enables scalable, repeatable production for any batch size.”

The LumiaX1 in version 25 receives, among other things, a revised TruLayer hardware design, more precise encoder and gantry control, automatic Z recalibration and a new HMI with live sensor displays. The Volume software now integrates native laser and DLP slicing engines, manages printer fleets centrally and offers extended compensation functions for shrinkage and beam shape, including for hybrid DLP/HPS workflows.

With Axtra Workflow, Axtra3D addresses a common problem in industrial additive manufacturing: fragmented, hard-to-validate standalone solutions. By means of a coordinated process chain with traceable parameters, manufacturers are intended to bring new resins and geometries into series production more quickly. Axtra.Insight, the updated LumiaX1 and Volume v25 are already available, while Axtra.Wash and Axtra.Cure are scheduled for delivery from the beginning of the second quarter of 2026 and will be demonstrated together at Formnext in Frankfurt.
