DWS 3D PRINTERS UK

XFAB 2500 SD

Standard-definition XFAB for larger everyday prototyping in certified DWS resins.

Ideal for R and D departments

Range update (August 2026): the XFAB 2500 SD 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, DWS’s current DW 029MKIII (the XFAB name continues as the dental-focused XFAB 2500PD), or request a quote for the latest range.

Equipped with the same class leading technologies of the DWS professional range of 3d printers, the XFAB 2500 SD is ideal for R and D departments and professionals requiring quick and precise prototype parts. The combination of DWS’s own software, Nauta and Victor allow flexible parameter control to create parts to the exact requirements of the user.

The patented TTT (Tank Translation Technology) ensures the resin tank wears evenly without localised damage from the laser. The BluEdge Laser technology, as featured in the professional systems, produces smooth walled accurate parts that require no further finishing.

The XFAB 2500 SD has a cylindrical build volume of 180 x 180mm and is available with 12 different material types including ‘ABS like’ & polypropylene, transparent flexible, rubber and direct casting resins. The resins come in easy to use cartridges which makes material change over fast and efficient.
