TheObjet500DentalSelection3-Dprinter’slarge build area allows a dental laboratory to increase throughput, and its triple-jetting technology can create a variety of dental-specific palettes, allowing multiple applications to be combined. Themulticolor,multimaterial3-Dprintingsolution produces dental models with gingiva-like softness and color, a range of natural tooth shades, and nerve canals or other anatomy in contrasting materials. ThisisaccomplishedbycombiningStratasys’sflexible and rigid PolyJet dental materials, such as VeroDent, VeroDentPlus, VeroGlaze and Clear Bio-Compatible. Theprintercanbeusedforavarietyofapplications, such as implant testing on stone models, models re- quiring gingiva-like materials, and jaw models printed directlyfromCBCTscans. In particular, the Objet500 Dental Selection is an attractive solution for larger dental restorative and orthodontic laboratories that are interested in im- plementing digital dentistry, from intra-oral scans to realistic models, and that serve a wide range of dental applications in larger production volumes.
