What are the 3D printing materials, has always been an important part of the expansion of 3D printing applications essential, want to expand the type of dental applications wide, the development of material types less need to work hard.
In the recent 2020 China International Dental Devices and Equipment Expo (referred to as CDS), Hegger Technology on the digital dental application module of the display stand exhibited 50 dental applications in four major areas of implantation, orthodontics, fixed prosthetics, active prosthetics, which is subdivided into two types of orthodontic 3D printing materials.
1. Conventional Orthodontic Materials
The high-temperature-resistant dental molding resin Model TF UV, belongs to one of the earlier materials used in orthodontics by Hegger Technology. This material is suitable for making thermo-compression molded dental models, which are mainly used in the field of orthodontics, with precise detail reproduction.
BlackGrid integrates the processes of automated data processing, 3D printing scale production, automatic identification of the gum line, and automatic cutting of invisible braces along the gum line into a full-process solution for invisible orthodontics. After the dental plan is confirmed by the doctor, a dental-specific 3D printer and high-temperature-resistant dental mold resin are used to print the dental molds for each step, and finally, transparent customized braces are heat-pressed according to the 3D printed dental molds.
2, washable orthodontic materials
The UltraPrint series of new washable materials for orthodontics is more environmentally friendly than the conventional version of the material, and also simplifies some of the post-processing process, after the print out of the dental molds, cleaned with water can be.
The upgraded efficiency of the material post-processing, coupled with Hegel Technology's high-capacity 3D printers Ortho and HiVE system, allows for 24-hour, non-stop, fully automated production of dental molds, allowing for up to 720 invisible orthodontic molds to be produced on a single daily basis for orthodontics.
The abundance of 3D printing materials for orthodontics, even as it enriches the expanded field of digital 3D printing applications, also allows prosthodontics laboratories and dental hospitals to have more room for choice when selecting applicable 3D printing materials that match their needs.
