Print quality

The DWS XFAB 3500PD is an SLA 3D printer that can print with a layer height of 10–100 micron. This way, one can produce highly detailed models with exceptionally smooth and ornate exterior surfaces. Engineered with the Solid State BlueEdge light source, the machine is able to handle undercuts and cavities like a champ, ensuring greater design freedom. It is ideal for fast production of high-quality dental models.

Materials

The DWS XFAB 2500PD offers a variety of self-developed materials to choose from. It is compatible with various photosensitive resins, including elastomeric (FLEXA), castable (FUSIA), high-temperature (PRECISA and THERMA), rigid and semi-rigid (INVICTA) as well as transparent and translucent ones (VITRA and IRIX). Furthermore, it can work with ceramic-like materials (IRIX DIGITAL STONE) suitable for more creative projects.

With such a wide scope of available consumables, one will be able to complete multiple projects with different properties while maintaining consistent print quality regardless of the materials used.

Build volume

The DWS XFAB 3500PD offers a decent build volume for a desktop SLA printer. It features a printing area of 160 x 160 x 180 mm (6.3 x 6.3 x 7 in) that lets one make a single medium-sized model as a whole or simultaneously print multiple smaller ones with exceptional detailing. In particular, the machine would be a perfect choice for digital dentistry.

Printer controls and software

The DWS XFAB 2500PD 3D printer can be controlled by tethering the machine to your computer via USB or an Ethernet TCP/IP port.

In terms of slicing, the XFAB 3500PD model is powered by two proprietary software solutions — NAUTA+ and Fictor XFAB Edition. These easy-to-use programs perform parametric editing and machine controller functions. NAUTA+ automatically generates support structures where needed, while Fictor lets one configure printing parameters, ensuring the best production quality achievable. 

Overall, both programs provide a comfortable and streamlined slicing and 3D printing experience. They run on Windows 8+.
