XFAB 2500 HD
High-definition desktop SLA for fine-detail engineering and jewellery work.
Professional 3D printer for the manufacture of direct castings and rubber mouldings for the jewellery industry.
Range update (August 2026): the XFAB 2500 HD is a previous-generation DWS system and no longer features in DWS’s current range. We continue to support installed machines — ask us about the current equivalent, the DW 028XLHR, DWS’s current high-resolution desktop printer for goldsmiths, or request a quote for the latest range.
The X FAB 2500 HD is a great companion for small goldsmiths and designers looking to produce a wide variety of highly detailed and accurate models for direct casting and rubber mouldings.
The small material cartridges for the XFAB series have been specifically designed for a quick, clean and easy change over when swapping between materials. The automatic extrusion system means there is no manual intervention required while 3d printing and the risks of accidental leaks are eliminated, creating a fantastic user friendly system for those unfamiliar with this type of technology.
The BluEdge laser technology has been developed in-house by DWS, it is accurate precise and calibrated to obtain smooth surfaces that require no further finishing. There is no ongoing maintenance or adjustments to this laser system.

FUSIA 444
Fusia 444 is a cutting-edge wax-like material for casting applications. Easy to burn out, the material is versatile and was developed for any kind of design model, from thin to thick thickness, from detailed models to extremely smooth surfaces.

FUSIA DC710
Fusia DC710 is the cutting-edge material for direct casting and is extremely useful for filigree and ultra-thin models. The black colour allows the user to immediately visualise fine details on the model.

FUSIA DC800
Fusia DC800 is the latest material for direct casting, developed for detailed and smooth models. Fusia DC800 is a versatile material suitable and can be used with any kind of design.

Aesthetical Models
PRECISA 779
Precisa 779 is a rigid opaque material, in gray colour. It is precise and accurate and suitable for the realization of prototypes, toys, high detailed models, marketing samples and models for silicon molds.

High Temperature And Moulding
Therma 289
Therma 289 is a light green nano-ceramic material. It is ideal for models that require high thermal resistance tesingt and high definition models for vulcanized rubber molds.

THERMA 294
Therma 294 is a light blue nano-ceramic material. It was developed to be resistant and rigid and it is suitable for vulcanised rubber moulds. It can be used also for thermal resistance tests and high definition models.
