Today, Axtra3D announced the availability of three new functional elastomers for the Americas region.
The newly qualified materials expand Axtra Solutions into production-grade elastomer applications through collaborations with ecosystem partners Loctite and ForwardAM. These include Loctite 3D IND475, Loctite 3D Med414, and Ultracur3D EL 4000, now qualified for use as part of the Axtra Solutions portfolio and ready for purchase in the states.
Axtra3D’s Head of Materials and Process, Gioia Della Giustina, commented:
“We saw customer demand for an expanded elastomeric portfolio through Axtra Solutions, especially after we launched these elastomers for our European customers at FormNext last November. Bringing these materials to the U.S. market strengthens our partnerships with Loctite and ForwardAM and expands our material ecosystem with best-in-class options for elastomeric applications.”
All three materials are now available in the United States as part of the Axtra3D portfolio.
Loctite 3D IND475 is an industrial-strength, single-component UV resin that cures into a soft Shore 48A elastomer. It delivers high resilience, strong energy return, and dependable snap-back performance. Designed for durability and tear resistance, the material prints efficiently with low shrinkage and supports production-grade elastomeric parts, including complex lattice structures and functional prototypes. This black material is well suited for applications such as air and dust gaskets, flexible seals and housings, and cushioning pads, maintaining elastomeric behavior under repeated load.
Loctite 3D Med414 is a medical-grade Shore 50A resin engineered for elastomeric performance in healthcare environments. The material offers a strong balance of elongation, tear strength, and durability, along with torsional flexibility and true elastomeric behavior. Available in blue, Med414 supports regulated applications requiring consistent performance and safety. With 240% elongation, it is ideal for fitted medical and patient-facing parts such as soft interface components, skin-contact wearables, flexible seals, and functional medical device elements.
The third new material, Ultracur3D EL 4000 from ForwardAM, is a high-performance elastomeric resin designed for durability and flexibility. With Shore 90A hardness, 160% elongation at break, and 49 N/mm tear strength, it is well suited for demanding applications including footwear components, bike saddles, and cushioning pads. The material also supports the production of intricate flexible parts for both prototyping and end-use applications.
Axtra Workflow
Alongside, the company is opening U.S. pre-orders for Axtra Workflow, which includes its flagship Wash and Cure units equipped with Axtra.Insight.
Axtra.Workflow is a fully connected and validated end-to-end additive manufacturing ecosystem that links build setup, printing, post processing, inspection, and data-driven traceability into a single production backbone, including two new machines, Axtra.Wash and Axtra.Cure, and a new process visibility and connectivity platform, Axtra.Insight. The new workflow and materials are now available across the North Americas market.
Chief Strategy Officer at Axtra3D, Rajeev Kulkarni says “Manufacturers need more than one-off print wins. They need validated, repeatable workflows that scale for production. Axtra Workflow solves that problem by tightly integrating printing and processing hardware, materials, and software into a learning, traceable production system. The new products, and the workflow intelligence from Axtra.Insight, users benefit from a fully connected and validated setup from design to final product. It reduces errors and rework, streamlines throughput, enhances part quality, and facilitates traceability for regulatory compliance and quality assurance. It truly enables scalable, repeatable production for any batch size.”
Axtra.Wash & Axtra.Cure are new additions to the portfolio. Each product is designed and validated to operate within the Axtra Workflow ecosystem, while also supporting interoperability with other OEM systems where appropriate.
Axtra.Wash is a fully automated wash and dry station that supports up to three cleaning agents across multiple tanks, which imports validated material-specific wash/dry profiles from the software and printer to reduce manual guesswork.
Axtra.Cure is a combined UV and thermal curing system that consolidates post-cure and heat treatment in a single device. The UV chamber provides three independently controlled wavelength bands (355, 385, 405 nm) with dual photosensor verification and up to 250 °C thermal cycles.
Axtra.Insight is a process visibility and connectivity platform. It provides real-time process visibility and analytics platform that aggregates data from more than 155 onboard and peripheral sensors across the entire workflow. It delivers layer-level process monitoring, predictive maintenance, MES integration, fleet reporting, and complete job history exports for quality systems. The platform correlates TruLayer and HPS sensor data for auditable production outcomes.
The entire Axtra.Workflow is now available for sale in the United States as part of the Axtra3D portfolio, with Axtra.Wash and Axtra.Cure scheduled to ship in the beginning of Q3, 2026.
If you do not yet have a LumiaX1 3D printer, you can also use Axtra.Wash and Axtra.Cure, independently with your other photopolymerization 3D printers.
