These exciting new additions will help labs make the leap to advanced digital dentistry and service their customers – dentists and orthodontists – faster, consistently and more accurately than ever before.
3D Printing for Digital Dentistry – Saving Loads of Time and Improving Accuracy
How? Well, firstly, the new Objet Eden260V Dental Advantage 3D Printer provides a lower cost entry to advanced digital dentistry. This means labs can rapidly produce dental and orthodontic appliances, replacing time-consuming manual models and model-making with intraoral scanner output and 3D printing. digital dentistry, 3d printer
Accurate dental models produced on the Objet Eden260V Dental Advantage 3D Printer
Avi Cohen, Director of Global Dental at Stratasys, provides further details: “The Objet Eden260V Dental Advantage can create a wide range of dental models, surgical guides, positioning trays and orthodontic appliances significantly faster than hand milling, and can also be used to 3D print many different models all at once on a build tray that’s 20% to 40% larger than alternative digital dental systems.” This is a clear advantage for increasing production capacity and operational costs, especially since no indepth special skills or computing knowledge are needed by technicians to run it.
But speed isn’t the only benefit of the Objet Eden260V Dental Advantage. Dental and orthodontic appliances require accurate and consistent models in order to ensure that they fit perfectly. In our opinion, this 3D Printer achieves best-in-class accuracy and consistency. It takes the digital information and prints ultra-fine 16 micron layers to produce fine detail parts with smooth surfaces. This means labs can worry less and less about getting the appliances to fit properly.
