Stratasys introduces versatile 3D printer for digital dentistry

STRATASYS Ltd., a leading global provider of 3D printing and additive manufacturing solutions, has unveiled the Objet Eden260VS Dental Advantage 3D printer, a new system that seeks to deliver expanded solutions for digital dentistry.

 

Engineered to meet the demanding production needs of mid-size dental laboratories and mid to orthodontic laboratories, the Objet Eden260VS Dental Advantage builds on Stratasys’ popular Objet Eden260V Dental Advantage platform with new capabilities.

 

Offering productivity enhancements and greater cost-effectiveness for users, the new 3D printer is compatible with all Stratasys dental materials such as VeroDent, VeroDentPlus and VeroGlaze. It adds a soluble support option, previously unavailable on PolyJet dental systems. Soluble support technology allows the easy cleaning of dental parts with fine features, such as small removable die inserts in dental models. Additional benefits include automated support removal, which offers further advantages for dental labs by enabling lower labor cost per part.

 

For complete flexibility, users have the ability to switch between soluble and water jet modes to balance low-cost automation, with the occasional need for hands-on support removal.

 

“Stratasys is fully committed to the digital dentistry market,” says Avi Cohen, Stratasys director of global dental business. “The Objet Eden260VS Dental Advantage brings supremely accurate 3D printing technology to any dental lab seeking to benefit from the future of digital dentistry and orthodontics.”

 

The new product is complemented by Stratasys’ advanced dental material, VeroGlaze, which now meets the requirements of a biocompatible photopolymer. This material is ideal for applications requiring short-term, mucosal-membrane contact of up to 24 hours, enabling dental labs to use VeroGlaze to create veneer try-ins in precise A2 teeth color shade.

 

“The easy-to-use Objet Eden260VS Dental Advantage meets the needs of those dental and orthodontic labs seeking professional grade 3D printing capabilities with Stratasys’ signature PolyJet speed, accuracy and consistency,” adds Mr. Cohen.

 

“As our most versatile 3D printing solution for the dental sector to date, this new 3D printer meets a broad range of application needs that demand delicate features or fine and complex details, while offering low cost of ownership,” he concludes.
