The 3D printer produces surgical guides and dental models in-house directly from intraoral scanner output. Similarly, orthodontic labs may reduce costs by 3D printing accurate and smooth models for orthodontic appliances, according to Stratasys.
The new printer has a custom-tailored materials package and a build tray that is 20% to 40% larger than that of alternatives for the dental sector, printing more models in a single build, the company noted. Its printing speeds are up to 33% faster than other dental 3D printing products. The device has a small, copier-sized footprint.
VeroGlaze enables the 3D printing of dental models with A2 teeth color shade. The new material for digital dentistry can be used in conjunction with all open intraoral, impression, and plaster scanners, and is optimized for 3D printing models for crowns, bridge restorations, diagnostic wax-ups, and try-in veneers.
VeroGlaze expands the company's array of materials for digital dentistry designed especially for use in dental and orthodontic solutions. They are used by the Objet EdenV and OrthoDesk line of 3D printers, which print ultrafine 16-micron layers.
