What the data sheet actually covers

xMODEL 2505 is a dental MODEL material — models, removable dies and thermoforming formers. Nexa3D publishes cure profiles for 100 µm and 50 µm on the NXE 400 and NXD200, plus mechanical data to ASTM D638 and D790. It carries no ISO 10993 or medical device certification, so we do not position it for patient contact.

About this product

Nexa3D xMODEL 2505 is a beige, meth-acrylate dental model resin formulated with BASF Forward AM for high-resolution models, removable dies and thermoforming formers. It prints on the Nexa3D NXE 400 and NXD200 with published cure profiles at 100 µm and 50 µm, and finished models wash in water alone — no finishing detergents.

Nexa3D xMODEL 2505 dental model resin 5 kg – LSPc photopolymer for dental models and thermoforming
xMODEL 2505 in the 5 kg bottle — beige dental model resin for the NXE 400 and NXD200.

Why dental labs choose xMODEL 2505

Model-grade stiffness, two validated layer profiles and a water-only wash.

2500 MPa Young’s modulus

Model-grade stiffness. Dies and arch models keep their geometry under thermoforming pressure and repeated seating on the bench.

50 µm and 100 µm profiles

Nexa3D publishes cure settings at both layer heights, so you trade surface detail against throughput without re-deriving exposure.

Water wash, no detergents

Printed models rinse in plain water before UV cure. No finishing detergent inventory and one less solvent step on the lab bench.

Formulated with BASF Forward AM

54 MPa tensile at break and 83 MPa flexural strength, from a lot-traceable chemistry developed with BASF Forward AM.

How we supply xMODEL 2505

From vendor validation to the cure chamber in your lab.

Step 01
Formulated & tested

xMODEL 2505 is developed with BASF Forward AM and validated on the NXE 400 and NXD200 at 100 µm and 50 µm before it reaches our catalogue.

Step 02
Stocked & lot-matched

5 kg bottles ship from US stock in two business days, batch-traceable so a lab can repeat a model run months later on the same chemistry.

Step 03
Print, wash & cure

Roll the bottle with ceramic beads for around 30 minutes, pour slowly into the vat, wash models in water only, then UV post-cure.

Physical and mechanical properties

Property Method Value
Young’s modulus ASTM D638 2500 MPa
Tensile stress at break ASTM D638 54 MPa
Elongation at failure ASTM D638 4%
Flexural strength ASTM D790 83 MPa
Flexural modulus ASTM D790 2150 MPa

Printed properties depend on part geometry, orientation and post-cure. Values are typical, not a specification. Mechanical and physical properties depend heavily on printing parameters and part geometry; validated workflows may need adjusting for unusually thick or thin geometries.

Compatible printers & post-processing

xMODEL 2505 runs on the Nexa3D NXE 400 and the NXD200, with curing profiles developed for 100 µm and 50 µm layer heights. The resin is processed at room temperature — no bottle or vat pre-heating. Mix thoroughly before every print job: roll the bottle with ceramic beads for around 30 minutes, then pour slowly into the vat and let trapped bubbles clear before starting the build. Post-processing differs from most other Nexa3D LSPc resins — models wash with water only, with no finishing detergents required, and are then UV post-cured. Filter reclaimed resin back into the bottle rather than leaving it standing in the vat. xMODEL 2505 is not qualified for the XiP or XiP Pro desktop platforms.

Common questions

Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.

Which 3D printers is Nexa3D xMODEL 2505 compatible with?
xMODEL 2505 runs on the Nexa3D NXE 400 and the NXD200. Nexa3D develops and publishes curing profiles for this resin at 100 µm and 50 µm layer heights on those machines, and it is processed at room temperature with no bottle or vat pre-heating. It is not qualified for the XiP or XiP Pro desktop platforms, so do not plan a XiP workflow around xMODEL 2505. If you are unsure which profile your machine is loaded with, send us the printer serial and firmware version and our engineers will confirm the correct exposure settings before you order.
What colour and pack size does xMODEL 2505 come in?
xMODEL 2505 is supplied in beige, in 5 kg bottles. Beige is the only colour Nexa3D offers for this dental model material; the shade is chosen so margins, preparation lines and die sections read clearly under lab lighting rather than for cosmetic reasons. We hold 5 kg bottles of xMODEL 2505 in US stock and dispatch in two business days. If your lab consumes more than one bottle a month, tell us your monthly volume and we will quote a standing order with lot-matched batches so your models stay consistent from case to case.
How are xMODEL 2505 models washed and post-cured?
Models printed in xMODEL 2505 wash with water only — no finishing detergents are required, which is different from most other Nexa3D LSPc resins. Rinse the parts in water, let them dry, then UV post-cure. That removes a detergent and solvent step from the lab bench and shortens the route from printer to finished model. Resin reclaimed from the build platform and vat should be filtered back into the bottle rather than left standing. If you want the full wash and cure sequence written out for your specific machine, ask our engineers and we will send it.
What is xMODEL 2505 best used for?
xMODEL 2505 is built for dental models, removable dies and thermoforming formers. Typical work includes arch and quadrant models, sectioned dies, study models for case records, and the formers used to vacuum-form aligners and retainers. At 2500 MPa Young's modulus and 83 MPa flexural strength it is stiff enough to survive thermoforming pressure and repeated seating without distorting. It is a model material, not an appliance material — the appliance is thermoformed over the model, not printed in xMODEL 2505. Tell us your case mix and we will confirm the fit.
How should xMODEL 2505 be stored and handled before printing?
Store xMODEL 2505 sealed, away from daylight and UV sources, at room temperature. Mix thoroughly before every print job: place the bottle on a roller with ceramic beads for around 30 minutes so pigment and fillers are fully redistributed. Pour slowly into the vat and let the bubbles clear before starting the build, since trapped air shows up as surface defects on model surfaces. Filter reclaimed resin back into the bottle after each job. Handle with nitrile gloves and follow the safety data sheet linked in the Downloads section of this page.
Is xMODEL 2505 certified biocompatible or medical grade?
No. Nexa3D publishes no ISO 10993 biocompatibility data and no medical device certification for xMODEL 2505, and we will not claim any. It is a dental model material — intended for models, removable dies and the formers used in thermoforming — not a patient-contact or appliance material. Any appliance that touches a patient should be made from a material carrying its own certification for that use, thermoformed or printed separately. If you need a certified patient-contact resin, ask us about the Nexa3D xMED line instead and we will send the applicable documentation.
Can we test xMODEL 2505 before committing to volume?
Yes. Request the Nexa3D LSPc resin sample kit and print xMODEL 2505 on your own NXE 400 or NXD200 before you commit to a standing order. We supply the validated cure profile for 100 µm and 50 µm with the sample, so your test prints reflect production settings rather than a guess. If the models and the thermoformed results meet your case requirements, we move you onto lot-matched 5 kg bottles with volume pricing. Tell us your case mix and monthly model count and we will size the first order with you.
