Stratasys Expands Access to Affordable, Professional-Grade 3D Printing as Laboratories Transition to Digital Dentistry
-
Enhanced multi-material 3D printer enables production of several
applications under a single 3D print job to accelerate time savings,
reduce labor costs, and increase capacity for expanded applications -
New Stratasys Objet260 Dental 3D Printer is one of the only
reliable, multi-material lab production solutions with “3-in-1
printing” efficiency and future-proof upgradeability for tomorrow’s
custom mixed materials
MINNEAPOLIS & REHOVOT, Israel–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Further securing its position as a global leader in applied
additive technology solutions, Stratasys
(NASDAQ: SSYS) today unveiled a series of newly integrated additive
manufacturing innovations intended to boost accessibility of
professional-grade 3D printing technology across a wider range of dental
laboratories. Announced at LMT
Lab Day, Chicago 2018, these solutions are specifically designed to
help advance lab service offerings, cut production times, reduce costs,
and support mass adoption of digital dentistry.
Based on award-winning PolyJet triple-jetting technology, the Stratasys
Objet260 Dental 3D Printer offers cutting-edge functionality for
laboratories across all departments. With the power to 3D print three
different materials on a single tray, the solution has the versatility
necessary to build surgical guides, models, and appliances for a variety
of patient requirements. When operating in single-material mode,
operators gain production efficiency with shorter change-over and
reduced material waste. Its affordability is ideal for mid-sized labs
looking to expand service offerings, while not impacting versatility.
Future-proofing current investments, the Stratasys Objet260 Dental 3D
Printer is additionally upgradeable to “Dental Selection” – broadening
adoption of next-generation digitally mixed materials.
Stratasys is also exclusively demonstrating two new products at the show
aimed at further increasing laboratory productivity. The first is a
flexible biocompatible material, MEDFLX625 – allowing dental and
orthodontic laboratories with PolyJet multi-material 3D printers to
custom mix both flexible and rigid biocompatible materials for
short-term patient contact direct print applications, such as indirect
bonding trays. In addition, MEDFLX625 is built to help laboratories
further increase efficiencies by 3D printing both surgical guides and
soft-tissue implant models during a single print run.
“There’s no denying the power of 3D printing for digital dentistry to
significantly decrease turnaround time, reduce labor costs, and provide
new streams of revenue. Multi-material 3D printing pushes the boundaries
of what’s possible in dentistry today, while unlocking the
next-generation of applications for tomorrow,” said Mike Gaisford,
Director of Healthcare Solutions at Stratasys. “We believe that today’s
announcements put Stratasys at the helm of dental innovation – and now
we’re placing it in the hands of more customers than ever before.”
Also demonstrated at LMT Lab Day, Chicago 2018 is Stratasys’ new Pop-Out
Part (PoP) technology for highly simplified and efficient workflows of
dental part support removal, specifically clear aligner arches. Shown as
a technology demonstrator, PoP speeds manual peel-off support for
removal of up to 500 parts per hour, per operator. The solution eases
use of additive manufacturing for high-volume 3D printing applications,
allowing producers to clean thousands of arches with minimal investment
in equipment or labor.
Stratasys is showcasing these integrated additive manufacturing
solutions for the dental market at LMT Lab Day, Chicago 2018 on February
23 and 24. For more information and interactive demos, visit Stratasys
