Bridging the gap between dental design and high-speed SLA printing for a fully digital, automated workflow.
February 18, 2025, Charlotte, NC – Axtra3D is excited to announce its partnership with Oqcam, a cutting-edge provider of automated dental workflows to help customers meet growing production goals while significantly reducing manpower requirements. This integration streamlines the process by automating nesting, optimizing production steps, and significantly reducing manual setup time, enabling dental professionals to achieve faster turnaround times and improved efficiency.
By combining Oqcam’s AI-driven automation for build preparation with Axtra3D’s Hi-Speed SLA printing, dental professionals can seamlessly transition from digital design to high-precision printed restorations. This collaboration eliminates workflow inefficiencies, ensuring superior surface quality, enhanced accuracy, and cost-effective production—all contributing to better patient outcomes.
Oqcam is a dental cloud software company specializing in automating digital production workflows for dental laboratories and production centers. By leveraging advanced artificial intelligence, Oqcam simplifies Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) processes for both 3D printing and CNC milling applications. Their technology enhances efficiency by fully automating data preparation and optimizing production workflows.
“We are thrilled to bring dental CAM automation to Axtra3D customers, expanding the reach of our innovative solutions,” said Kris Wouters, CEO at Oqcam. “This partnership perfectly aligns with our machine-agnostic philosophy, enabling seamless support for all 3D printing and CNC milling technologies within the Oqcam software.”
One of Oqcam’s key strengths is its automated data preparation, which accelerates setup time by up to 98%, allowing dental technicians to focus on high-value tasks rather than manual file preparation. Additionally, its machine productivity enhancements enable denser nesting, faster printing, and easier support removal, effectively doubling machine throughput. Designed to be scalable, Oqcam’s software supports operations of all sizes, from small dental labs to large production centers, ensuring full traceability and streamlined workflows.
“The Oqcam workflow and the Lumia X1D are a perfect match—leveraging automation where it maximizes efficiency and saves time,” said Steffen Reinfurth, VP of Global Dental. “Together, they are the answer to unmatched productivity, streamlined workflows, and exceptional quality.”
By integrating Oqcam’s intelligent automation with Axtra3D’s Hybrid PhotoSynthesis and TruLayer technologies, this partnership will further enhance precision, reliability, and efficiency in dental 3D printing. Axtra3D’s high-throughput, minimal post-processing solutions combined with Oqcam’s optimized workflows will help dental labs scale their operations with ease. This collaboration sets a new benchmark for automated, high-quality dental manufacturing.
About Axtra3D
Company
Based in the US and Italy, Axtra3D is a global company specializing in Hi-Speed SLA systems that eliminates tradeoffs between print throughput, accuracy, feature resolution, and surface finish, typically found in traditional SLA or DLP systems.
The flagship Lumia X1 Hi-Speed SLA system by Axtra3D represents a significant advancement, combining its Hybrid PhotoSynthesis resin polymerization process with TruLayer, a layer separation technology. HPS utilizes both a laser and a DLP to image simultaneously, while TruLayer enables rapid detachment of the active print layer, resulting in a 20X throughput improvement while preserving the accuracy and fidelity of SLA parts.
With a curated material portfolio, Axtra3D has developed over 15 certified solutions for industries such as Industrial, Healthcare, and Dental, serving a global customer base. These solutions range from direct-use ceramic molds to end-use electrical connectors, industrial parts, dental prosthetics, medical devices, jewelry patterns, and more. Axtra3D’s systems are available in North America, the EU, and Japan, and a broad range of customers have already benefitted from its diverse range of applications.
