Axtra3D announces Q1 growth, launches innovative silicone material, and partners with Additive Plus to expand global reach.
3D printing innovator Axtra3D unveiled a new silicone material and a strategic reseller partnership at Rapid + TCT 2025 in Detroit, alongside reporting robust first-quarter growth driven by its high-speed photopolymerization technology.
The company announced the general availability of TrueSilX50, a 100% pure silicone formulation developed with Spectroplast for its Lumia X1 printer. Designed for industrial and healthcare applications, the material leverages photopolymerization—rather than traditional extrusion—to deliver isotropic surface finishes, Shore A hardness of 48, and biocompatibility. This advancement aims to eliminate layering artifacts and streamline production of medical devices, wearables, and industrial components.
Central to Axtra3D’s strategy is the Lumia X1 printer, which combines laser and Digital Light Processing (DLP) systems to achieve speeds up to 20 times faster than standard SLA systems while maintaining precision. Rajeev Kulkarni, CSO of Axtra3D, emphasized the significance of the launch: “Expanding into true silicone additive manufacturing is the next critical step in delivering durable, production-grade solutions.”

The company also reported strong Q1 2025 performance, citing increased unit sales and revenue growth tied to its customer-centric business models and Hi-Speed SLA technology. Frank Herzog, investor and Concept Laser founder, praised Axtra3D’s market fit and technical focus, calling it a “steady growth” standout.
Further bolstering its global reach, Axtra3D partnered with California-based Additive Plus to expand distribution of the Lumia X1. The collaboration targets aerospace, automotive, and biomedical sectors, offering technical support and implementation expertise to accelerate adoption of high-speed photopolymerization systems.
