The new J5 DentaJet™ from Stratasys is the first multi-material dental 3D printer, making it possible for lab technicians to load mixed trays of dental parts.
The compact, multicolor, multi-material 3D printer can produce at least five times more dental parts on one mixed tray than other 3D printers, according to a press release. Dental labs often must produce several parts in multiple materials for removable partial dentures or implants, which means they need to use multiple 3D printers or do separate 3D prints. The J5 DentaJet can handle up to five materials, including support material.
The printer also produces realistic 3D case presentations, with designs produced digitally in a few hours. The high-resolution PolyJet materials create accurate models to 18.75 microns, allowing dentists to seat crowns and bridges in minutes.
The J5 DentaJet is well suited for customers who need to produce high volumes of realistic, highly accurate models. The printer is launching with a full range of biocompatible resins. These include a clear resin, VeroGlaze opaque white for temporary in-mouth placement, and a clear, flexible resin. Separator digital material automatically coats models, making it easier to separate the acrylic device from the model and to remove wax and residue. Other available resins include VeroDent PureWhite and CMY resins for color.
