Problem
Traditional 3D printing methods often suffer from limitations in speed, resolution, design freedom, and layer thickness, hindering their applicability in fields requiring intricate and precise structures. These constraints can impede innovation in areas such as biotechnology, MedTech, and optics, where complex geometries and smooth surfaces are critical.
Solution
Xolo has developed Xolography, a volumetric 3D printing technology that uses intersecting light beams to solidify objects within a resin, enabling the creation of parts with high resolution and continuous surfaces. This method eliminates the layer-by-layer approach of conventional 3D printing, allowing for faster production times and greater design flexibility. The Xolography process involves dual-color photoinitiators that react upon the convergence of specific light wavelengths, resulting in polymerization and the formation of the desired 3D structure. Xolo offers a range of printers, including the Xube² for research and industrial applications, Xell for bioprinting and material development, and Custom Xube for tailored solutions.
