you need to change default configuration, I’m not sure what is the standard way to change this, but the code below should be work
import vtkAxesActor,{DEFAULT_VALUES as vtkAxesActor_DEFAULT_VALUES} from 'vtk.js/Sources/Rendering/Core/AxesActor';
const config = vtkAxesActor_DEFAULT_VALUES.config;
config.recenter = false;
const actor = vtkAxesActor.newInstance({config});
hope this helps.
