Lumia X1 and Hi-SPEED SLA from Axtra3D

Axtra3D is a young AM company based in the USA and Italy that specializes in high-speed SLA systems. The start-up’s flagship product, the Lumia X1 printing system, combines Hybrid PhotoSynthesis polymerization with TruLayer, a technology for layer separation. The special thing about this printing process is that it uses a laser, like classic SLA, and a display for exposure, like DLP. The strengths of the respective technologies are thus combined in one process, which is reflected in the quality of the components. These are characterized by their accuracy, resolution and surface precision. To find out more about this unique printing process, we spoke to Axtra3D’s CSO Rajeev Kulkarni at Formnext 2024.

Kulkarni explained the special features of the process, the Lumia X1 and specific applications. He also talked about the new silicone TrueSil-X50. This is 100% pure and is particularly popular in the medical sector. Kulkarni also introduced us to Axtra3D’s various business models and explained why the company sees itself as a “Form Leader.”
