DWS materials
DWS Invicta Digital PA55
A tough, impact-resistant resin that combines strength with flexibility, with properties DWS compares to PA6.
More from DWSInvicta Digital PA55 is a DWS resin designed to resist impact. It suits high-stress parts, such as sports components, or products that need strength with flexibility. DWS compare its technical characteristics with traditional PA6. It holds its dimensions well. It is TPO-free. It comes in clear or black.

Which printers run it
DWS name the Invicta Digital PA resins among the new advanced functional resins the DW 029MKIII / HR can use. Their jigs & fixtures page lists the XCELL 900S, XCELL 900Q / QHR, XCELL 300Q / QHR, XCELL 300S and XPRO SL as compatible printers. Tell us which machine you run or plan to buy so we can confirm the set-up with DWS before you order.
Pricing
DWS do not publish material prices and we follow their lead. We quote materials alongside your machine and application. We can also advise which grade suits the part before you order.
