3D Dental Printers
At Dentaltix we offer technology capable of quickly and accurately creating crowns, bridges, ceramic models and a whole range of applications for the sector.
With this new technology, any clinic or laboratory can now combine oral scanning with CAD/CAM design and 3D printing, moving beyond manual modelling and allowing as many adjustments and modifications as required.
The use of 3D printers offers many advantages in terms of productivity, manufacturing times, production costs and, most importantly, customisation.
The 3D printers used in Dentistry are mainly SLA or DLP:
- An SLA (Stereolithography) 3D printer generally works by using a UV laser beam to solidify a photosensitive resin. As it uses a laser beam, precision is at its highest, and unlike FDM printers, these leave no trace of layering whatsoever.
- DLP 3D printers are also used in the dental sector. The difference is that the light is emitted by a projector or LED light source, rather than a laser. This achieves incredible precision, slightly lower than that of SLA.
Both SLA and DLP printers for dentistry use photosensitive resin for 3D printing as their raw material.
