Know Your Materials: Dental Materials

By TriMech on

Stratasys PolyJet 3D printers and specialty dental materials create multi-color dental models with unmatched accuracy that can mimic gum textures and print complex geometries. These multi-material models enable a variety of applications including orthodontic models, implantology case planning and cast partial frames. This additive manufacturing technology can empower you with more cost-effective interventions, enhanced efficiency, fewer risks and optimized patient outcomes.

Flexible Biocompatible

Also know as MED625FLX, this material is described as a mash up where flexibility meets the biocompatible nature of the Biocompatible Clear (MED610) material. It is perfect for direct printing of indirect bonding trays. This enables shorter chair time for orthodontist and optimized bracket placement.
