As the additive manufacturing (AM) sector rapidly evolves, Axtra3D stands out with its Lumia X1 3D printer, pushing the boundaries of mold-making with an unprecedented range of mold solutions.

Utilizing advanced Hi-Speed SLA technology, Lumia X1 now supports four distinct types of molds:

This versatility not only provides users with diverse production capabilities but positions Axtra3D as a leader in both concept and low-volume production molding solutions.

Axtra3D’s mold solutions offer a swift, cost-effective alternative to traditional metal tooling, which often incurs long lead times and high costs. Conventional metal molds take weeks to manufacture, hindering the fast-paced development cycles required in today’s market. Additionally, metal tooling’s rigidity often limits design flexibility, making it challenging to iterate quickly or produce small batch runs affordably.

In contrast, Lumia X1’s Hi-Speed SLA technology, powered by its patented Hybrid PhotoSynthesis™ (HPS) system, accelerates production timelines significantly. Combining laser precision with Digital Light Processing (DLP), the HPS enables faster, high-resolution printing of complex mold geometries. Axtra3D’s TruLayer separation and TruLayer adaption technologies further enhance print speed, surface finish, and uniformity, delivering isotropic molds in record time without compromising quality.

The Lumia X1’s ability to produce five different types of molds is a game-changer for industries needing rapid prototyping and low-volume production. Each mold solution is tailored to specific production needs, which include:

This expanded portfolio enables the Lumia X1 to accommodate diverse mold production processes, from traditional injection molding to high-detail, water-soluble applications, positioning Axtra3D as a leading mold solution provider.

For companies aiming to balance efficiency with scalability, the Lumia X1 provides a versatile mold-making solutions that keeps production costs manageable. The cost per mold ranges from $80 to $300, depending on size and material, making it accessible for smaller production runs. The Lumia X1’s fast turnaround time, high accuracy (±50 microns), and ability to produce complex geometries without added cost allow businesses to quickly adapt to market demands and reduce time-to-market.

With this, it is setting new standards in mold production, especially for industries requiring rapid, adaptable, and cost-effective mold solutions. By offering five distinct molding options and addressing the limitations of traditional metal tooling, Axtra3D empowers manufacturers to achieve greater flexibility, accuracy, and speed in their production processes. The Lumia X1 is set to stay ahead in a competitive landscape.
