CHARLOTTE, NC, USA, Nov 13, 2026 – Axtra3D is pleased to announce the launch of Axtra Wash Series 1 and Axtra Cure Series 1, updated models of the two industrial post-processing systems designed to extend Axtra Workflow beyond print execution.

Together, with the Lumia X1 Hi-Speed SLA platform and Axtra3D’s connected software environment, the new systems strengthen a production-focused approach built around repeatability, operational efficiency and process visibility.

For manufacturers adopting additive manufacturing beyond prototyping, printing is only one part of the production process. Washing, drying, and curing can introduce additional handling steps, variable process conditions, and challenges in maintaining consistent output.

Axtra Wash Series 1 and Axtra Cure Series 1 address these stages with dedicated industrial equipment, programmable operations, and workflow connectivity, helping customers establish more structured post-processing practices.

“Customers do not measure the success of additive manufacturing only by how quickly a printer produces a part. They measure it by how reliably they can deliver a finished, usable component,” said Rajeev Kulkarni, Chief Strategy Officer at Axtra3D. “By enhancing and integrating the washing, drying, and curing into Axtra Workflow, we are helping customers build a more connected production process with fewer disconnected steps, greater consistency and a clearer path from design to finished part.”

Orders for both systems can be placed today.

Axtra Wash Series 1: Automated cleaning and drying for production workflows

Axtra Wash Series 1 combines automated washing and drying in one industrial station, simplifying post-processing and reducing routine operator involvement. Proprietary agitation, Venturi, and nanobubble eductor technologies support effective cleaning, while an automated traveling air knife delivers compressed-air drying.

The system features automated part handling, detergent loading and unloading, two removable 50-liter tanks, and compatibility with non-flammable cleaning detergents. An integrated touchscreen manages both standard and custom wash and dry profiles, while a self-cleaning chamber simplifies maintenance. The system also accommodates compatible Axtra build platforms and vats.

Series 1 enhancements include a stainless-steel washing tub, anodized-aluminum construction matching the Lumia X1 design, automated end-of-cycle exhaust to limit operator exposure to detergent vapors, and filtration and monitoring provisions for maintenance management. Multiple solvent operating modes provide additional process flexibility.

It helps streamline post-processing, reduce manual handling, and improve consistency across production workflows. Automated cleaning and drying reduce operator intervention and support more efficient equipment utilization. Flexible cleaning profiles and solvent options allow customers to adapt the process to different materials and production requirements.

Axtra Cure Series 1: Programmable UV and thermal processing

Axtra Cure Series 1 combines UV curing and thermal post-processing in one industrial system. Its independently operated upper UV chamber and lower thermal oven allow customers to select either process or combine both, depending on material and application requirements.

The UV chamber features three independently configurable LED wavelengths (365, 385 and 405 nm), programmable exposure time and power, 324 LEDs, broadband photodiodes for light-power monitoring, and temperature sensing.

The thermal oven supports controlled heating profiles up to 250°C, with automatic or customized thermal ramps. Integrated process profiles, real-time controls, and an interactive touchscreen help maintain repeatable processing conditions.

The industrial design includes an anodized-aluminum enclosure, high-visibility touchscreen, and integrated chamber safety provisions.

Customer value: Series 1 gives customers greater control over material properties and final part performance through precise UV and thermal processing. Combining both functions in one system reduces equipment footprint and simplifies post-processing workflows. Programmable profiles support repeatability across production batches, while independent chamber operation provides flexibility across materials and applications.

“A production workflow needs control at every critical step, not just at the printer,” Kulkarni said. “Our goal is to give customers practical tools to define, repeat and manage their post-processing conditions, so teams can focus on part quality, application requirements and dependable production rather than manually coordinating separate pieces of equipment.”

One connected Axtra Workflow™

This launch advances Axtra Workflow™, Axtra3D’s integrated hardware and software environment connecting part preparation, print execution, and production management.

Axtra Wash and Axtra Cure includes integration with Axtra.insight to provide greater visibility into process settings and results. For customers, the value is a more coherent production solution: the Lumia X1 produces high-fidelity parts, Axtra Wash handles cleaning and drying, and Axtra Cure supports controlled UV and thermal treatment.

This helps manufacturers standardize procedures, reduce workflow fragmentation, and scale applications with more confidence. The systems are designed for use with the Lumia X1 family and more broadly with other photopolymer additive manufacturing technologies including SLA, DLP and related processes.

About Axtra3D

Based in the US and Italy, Axtra3D is a global company specializing in Hi-Speed SLA systems that eliminates tradeoffs between print throughput, accuracy, feature resolution, and surface finish, typically found in traditional SLA or DLP systems.

The flagship Lumia X1 Hi-Speed SLA system by Axtra3D represents a significant advancement, combining its Hybrid PhotoSynthesis resin polymerization process with TruLayer, a layer separation technology. HPS utilizes both a laser and a DLP to image simultaneously, while TruLayer enables rapid detachment of the active print layer, resulting in a 20X throughput improvement while preserving the accuracy and fidelity of SLA parts.

Axtra Workflow: An integrated software and hardware workflow connecting part preparation, print execution, and production management. It streamlines the process from digital design to finished part, helping customers optimize build preparation, manage print jobs, improve production efficiency, consistency, and traceability.

Axtra.insight: A production intelligence platform providing visibility into printer performance, utilization, and operational data. It helps customers monitor equipment, identify trends, and make informed decisions to improve uptime, resource utilization, and production reliability.

Axtra3D operates with two business models.

Axtra Solutions: This model provides fully optimized, turnkey 3D printing solutions. Customers receive complete print profiles fine-tuned for maximum performance and reliability, supported by Axtra3D’s Applications team and quality material partners.

Axtra OpenAccess: This model further builds on Axtra Solutions™ and allows customers the flexibility to experiment with new materials and applications. It supports innovation and adaptability, enabling added flexibility.
