XFab 3D Printer From DWSLab

[Larry]

This looks to be another pretty cool, and somewhat innovative laser printer that was just announced by DWSLab. It's called the XFab 3D Printer. The XFab is able to print in several different types of materials, and is priced reasonable(Although I couldn't find the exact pricing. Seems one model is $5000, the other $2500). It also have very quick material handling, meaning no leakage or handling of the material.

Here are the Specs for the Xfab printer:

- 3D printing method: Laser Stereolithography
- Working area: Ø 180×180 mm
- Laser source: Solid State BlueEdge® BE-1300X
- Slice thickness: 10-100 microns
- Minimum feature size: 80 microns
- Input file format: .stl, .slc
- Machine size: 420x638x590 mm
- Operating Temperature and Humidity: 22°-25°C/60%
- Power supply: AC 230/115V/50-60 Hz
- Scanning method: Galvanometer

- Software: XFAB Controller, Nauta™ XFAB Edition




The great thing about this laser printer is it works with all the following materials:

- Standard acrylate, amber - General purpose.
- ABS-like, grey - High-impact resistant, functional parts, snap-fit, casings
- ABS-like, white - High-impact resistant, functional parts, snap-fit, casings
- Polypropylene-like - Flexible, snap-fit, casings, components, lab equipment
- Rigid opaque, grey - Prototypes, toys, high-detail models, marketing models
- Transparent - Clear prototypes, liquid flow visualization, light cases
- Ceramic nano filled, light blue - Static thermal resistance tests, high definition models
- Rubber-like, black - Handles, gaskets, footwear, ergonomic tests, functional parts
- Rubber-like, transparent - Functional parts, medical devices
