In this exclusive interview, John Schneider from Fargo 3D Printing engages in a conversation with Tyler Caris, Chief of Creative at Airwolf 3D, to delve into the innovative features of the Axium 3D printer. Let's explore how the Axium sets itself apart from its predecessors and revolutionizes the realm of 3D printing.
If you are familiar with Airwolf 3D's product line, you know their emphasis on multi-material and high-temperature capabilities. With the Axium, Airwolf continues this legacy by catering to materials like polycarbonate and nylon while prioritizing user-friendly design aspects. Tyler highlights the Axium's Core XY motion system, optimizing torque distribution and enhancing XY resolution to achieve meticulous prints at resolutions as fine as 40 microns. Even prints at 100 to 200 microns display exceptional quality, thanks to this cutting-edge system.
The Axium isn't just a 3D printer; it's a precision tool engineered to simplify the printing process. Airwolf has integrated auto-leveling functionality, a game-changer for those seeking hassle-free operation. This feature empowers users to initiate prints effortlessly and step away confidently, knowing a flawless print awaits them. Moreover, the enclosed system of the Axium enables extended printing durations without succumbing to issues like warping or cracking, especially crucial for robust materials like polycarbonate and ABS.
Airwolf has thoughtfully designed the Axium to cater to a range of user preferences and needs. With four connectivity options—Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB, and microSD card—users can seamlessly interact with the printer. The intuitive onboard interface ensures convenient control over the printing process. Furthermore, the recent introduction of the Dual head, which will be available soon, expands the Axium's capabilities, offering users a versatile printing experience.
For enthusiasts eyeing the Axium, the single head variant is priced competitively at $3995, ensuring accessibility without compromising on quality. The upcoming Dual head model is expected to retail at around $5300, providing enhanced functionality for advanced users. With a current lead time of 4 to 5 weeks, Airwolf is committed to streamlining production processes to meet growing demand promptly.
A standout feature of the Axium is its upgradability and modular design. The inclusion of An ERC (Easy Removal Core) system allows users to effortlessly upgrade to a Dual head configuration. By simply removing four screws, users can swap out components, significantly enhancing the printer's versatility and future-proofing investments.
In conclusion, Airwolf's Axium 3D printer redefines the standards of additive manufacturing by blending cutting-edge technology with user-centric features. From unparalleled print quality to ease of use and upgradability, the Axium embodies a new era of 3D printing innovation.
