EnvisionTEC, a manufacturer and distributor of patented 3D rapid prototyping and manufacturing solutions, unveiled the newest addition to its dental lineup, 3Dent, at the recent LMT Lab Day in Chicago.
EnvisionTEC's portfolio includes 3D printers and photosensitive resins for a wide range of dental applications, including wax-ups, drill guides, temporaries, models, partials, and orthodontics.
3Dent is designed specifically for the manufacture of dental models, according to the company. It features a build envelope of 279 x 184 x 76 mm with a resolution of 25 microns, and is optimized for use with EnvisionTEC's E-Denstone material for building dental models.
3Dent uses selective contour photocuring technology (SCP) to create dental models with the look and feel of real gypsum models, according to EnvisionTEC. It features a build speed of up to 10 mm/hour for the full build envelope and a simple user interface with a built-in touchscreen.
