3D Systems is previewing its ProJet MP 3000 at the DenTech show in Shanghai, China, this week. The ProJet is a new 3-D production system for digital-dental models that it plans to introduce in the first quarter of 2010.
The company is marketing the ProJet MP 3000 as "the first economical 3-D production system for small to medium dental labs." This new compact production system incorporates the latest generation of 3D Systems' proprietary multi-jet modeling technology with benefits that include crisp feature definition at increased build speeds. The ProJet MP 3000 prints dental working models from a new durable, high-contrast material designed specifically for this application.
The company believes that the introduction of a new generation of dental intraoral and impression scanners by leading dental companies will drive increased demand for digital-dental working models. The company expects that its ProJet MP 3000 will become the low-cost dental model maker for small-sized and medium-sized labs.
