Charlotte Area Startup Axtra3D, founded by veteran innovators in the 3D printing industry, unveiled its new Hybrid PhotoSynthesis (HPS) technology and Lumia 3D printer at the world’s largest 3D Printing trade show Formnext 2021 in Germany— receiving rave reviews from both consumers and industry analysts for accomplishing what experts considered impossible.
Axtra3D’s Hybrid PhotoSynthesis Printing technology ends a long-standing need for trade offs in the industry by combining the best of all 3D printing benefits to:

  • Surpass the resolution of Digital Light Processing (DLP) while offering the print area of industrial grade
    Stereolithography (SLA).
  • Print at the speed of Digital Light Processing (DLP) and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) while matching/outperforming the surface quality of Stereolithography (SLA).
  • Simultaneously enable continuous printing and isotropic part performance.
3D Printing Industry Magazine congratulates the Charlotte company, writing, “You would be forgiven for being skeptical of a technology that claims to harness all the benefits of SLA, DLP, and LCD, 3D printing in a single machine; however, that is exactly what new start-up AXTRA3D has achieved with its new Hybrid PhotoSynthesis (HPS) technology.”
3D Printing Media Network expresses a similar sentiment: “…Some entirely new polymer AM technologies made their debut at Formnext 2021. Probably the most interesting new product of the entire show was presented by the startup Axtra3D.”

Attendees Greet Axtra3D’s Technology With Praise

Gianluca Mattaroccial, an Engineering Fellow at The Estée Lauder Companies, received a demonstration of the technology and posted about it on his LinkedIn page, writing, “Printing at the speed of DLP with the surface quality of SLA; this is by far the best breakthrough innovation at formnext2021. Congratulations to the Axtra3D team.”News about the new HPS technology quickly spread and Axtra3D’s co-founders, Gianni Zitelli and Praveen Tummala, were delighted by the enthusiastic response. “We’ve been quietly developing HPS for a long time. It was great to see the amount of interest and inquiries we received from attendees and media. We truly believe HPS has the power to transform 3D printing and our experience at Formnext confirms that this technology is an industry game-changer,” states Axtra3D CEO, Gianni Zitelli.

According to TCT Magazine, “Axtra3D combines benefits of SLA, DLP and LCD 3D printing with new Hybrid Photosynthesis technology…. Bringing together the benefits of each of those resin-based 3D printing techniques, the Lumia promises a large build area, continuous printing, high-resolution, speed and surface quality, and isotropic part performance. This marriage of processes means part layers are cured via a projector while at the same time, the part edges are cured with a laser.”

Axtra3D’s innovative HPS Technology is poised to revolutionize Additive Manufacturing and 3D printing— and the industry’s strong and positive response is a clear indicator.
