3D Systems will feature the VisiJet e-Stone, a new print material developed specifically to produce digital dental models on the ProJet MP 6000 Professional 3D printer, at the International Dental Show in Cologne, Germany, this week.
This material is available in a high-contrast peach color and is compatible with all "open system" intraoral and impression scanning systems, according to the company.
Due to its high accuracy and repeatability, this material can be used as a fit-check model for all-digital restorations, the company said. Typical dental lab practices, including drilling, grinding, and waxing, can also be used with VisiJet e-Stone.
"As dental practitioners explore ways to grow their business and increase productivity, they are finding that 3D Systems' growing portfolio of dental solutions can transform their production processes, improve their competitiveness, and enhance the productivity of their local lab technicians," said Lee Dockstader, vice president of business development for 3D Systems, in a press release.
