Axtra3D introduced updated Axtra Wash and Axtra Cure Series 1 systems, adding automated cleaning, drying, UV curing, and thermal treatment to its Axtra Workflow for production resin printing.

Axtra3D has released new versions of its post-processing hardware, the Axtra Wash Series 1 and Axtra Cure Series 1. The two systems are designed to sit alongside the company's Lumia X1 Hi-Speed SLA platform and tighten the handoff from a finished print to a part that is ready for use.

Automated wash and dry in one station

The Axtra Wash Series 1 combines washing and drying in a single industrial unit. Axtra3D says the system uses proprietary agitation, Venturi, and nanobubble eductor technologies for cleaning, followed by an automated traveling air knife for compressed-air drying. It includes automated part handling, detergent loading and unloading, two removable 50-liter tanks, and support for non-flammable cleaning detergents.

Series 1 updates add a stainless-steel washing tub, anodized-aluminum construction aligned with the Lumia X1, automated end-of-cycle exhaust to limit operator exposure to detergent vapors, and filtration and monitoring features for maintenance. Wash and dry profiles can be managed from an integrated touchscreen, with support for both standard and custom routines.

Programmable UV and thermal curing

Axtra Cure Series 1 pairs UV curing and thermal post-processing in one enclosure. Its upper UV chamber and lower thermal oven can run independently or together, depending on the material and application. The UV side offers three configurable LED wavelengths (365, 385, and 405 nm), programmable exposure time and power, 324 LEDs, and light-power monitoring. The thermal oven supports controlled heating profiles up to 250°C.

For resin-focused production teams, the practical value is consistency: repeatable wash, dry, cure, and heat cycles reduce the variability that can creep in with manual post-processing. Orders for both systems are open now as Axtra3D builds out its connected Axtra Workflow.
