DWS 3D PRINTERS UK

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.

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 DM500

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.

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.
