XFAB 3500 SD
The largest XFAB build volume, for bigger prototypes and short-run parts.
High productivity and precision, with no compromises.
Range update (August 2026): the XFAB 3500 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 / HR (the XFAB name continues as the dental-focused XFAB 3500PD), or request a quote for the latest range.
The Premium machine in the XFAB range of 3D printers, the3500 SD combines high precision and productivity making it an excellent choice for all industrial sectors. The combination of a relatively large build volume and extreme precision means the 3500 SD ‘packs a punch’ way above its price level.
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 3500 SD has a build volume of 140 x 140 x 180mm and is available with 16 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.

Extensive Material Options
The XFAB 3500SD has 16 different material options which are developed in house by the DWS R&D team. The raw materials cartridges come in easy to install bottles that make material change over quick and easy without making a mess.

Rubber Like Models
FLEXA GM08
Flexa GM08 Clear is a rubber-like material designed to produce functional prototypes. The models made with Flexa GM08 are flexible, strong, smooth and durable. It reproduces the same feeling as an injected rubber moulding.

FLEXA GM08B
Flexa GM08B is a black rubber-like material designed to produce functional prototypes. The models made with Flexa GM08 are flexible, strong, smooth and durable.It reproduces the same feeling as an injected rubber moulding.

Functional Models
INVICTA AB001
Invicta 915 is a polypropylene-like material in white colour. It can be used for for snap-fit prototypes of mechanical components, lab equipment, appliance parts and casings. The material has a certain flexibility and is resistant.

INVICTA AB002
Invicta AB002 is a grey coloured ABS-like material, designed to produce end use parts. The AB002 models are strong, smooth and ideal to produce high accuracy parts. It reproduces the same feeling as injection moulding ABS plastic.

INVICTA DL370
Invicta DL370 is a clear material developed for general applications and industrial design. The material is resistant, long lasting and flexible. It is suitable to produce functional parts and finished transparent objects.

INVICTA DL380
Invicta DL380 is a material developed for general applications and industrial design and for the realization of functional parts, aesthetic mock up and design models. The material is resistant and long lasting.

INVICTA DL390
Invicta DL390 is a material developed for general applications, industrial design and for the realisation of functional parts, aesthetic mock up and design models. The material is resistant and long lasting.

Aesthetical Models
PRECISA DL260
PRECISA DL260 is a nano-filled ceramic resin developed for rubber moulding applications, including VLT, liquid silicones and vulcanized rubber at medium-low temperatures (max. 90°C). Precisa DL260 delivers extremely smooth surfaces and exceptionally precise and sharp details.

High Temperature And Moulding
THERMA DM500
THERMA DM500 is a photosensitive material for DWS SLA 3D printers, that is suitable for short run injection moulding. Depending on the application, the material has shown to reach 200 cycles. The injected polymer can reach a maximum temperature of 220° C with up to 90 bar of closing pressure.

THERMA DM210
Therma DM210 is a nano-filled ceramic material specially developed for rubber moulding applications, including VLT, liquid silicones and vulcanized rubber at medium-low temperatures (max. 90°C). Models made of Therma DM210 can be removed easily from the rubber mould and they can also be broken, allowing to carry out some difficult cuts that wouldn’t be possible with a metal model. Therma DM210 delivers extremely smooth surfaces and exceptionally precise and sharp details.

THERMA DM220
THERMA DM220 is a photosensitive material for DWS’ SLA systems. It is suitable for thick and thin models. It can be used
to make liquid silicones and rubber vulcanized at a maximum temperature of 180-200°C. Models made of THERMA DM220 resin can be removed easily from the rubber mould and they can also be broken, allowing to carry out some difficult cuts that would not be possible with metal models.

Clear Models
VITRA DL375
Vitra DL375 is a transparent material that allows the realisation of clear prototypes, models for liquid flow visualisation, lighting and equipment.

Castable Materials
FUSIA DC500
Fusia DC500 is a material specially developed for direct investment casting of jewellery models. Fusia DC500 allows the building of detailed parts with high quality resolution and smooth surfaces which do not require any other manual finishing. The elasticity of Fusia DC500 allows to set the stones directly into the resin model.
