A groundbreaking new dental 3D printer is set to transform dental production processes to deliver higher levels of productivity than ever before.
SYS Systems is excited to share the news that Stratasys has introduced the DentaJet XL 3D printer, an all-new dental 3D printing system that has been designed to improve dental lab productivity and reduce costs.
With its larger resin cartridges, large print tray, super high-speed mode and minimal post processing workflow, dental labs will be able to more efficiently than ever before.
Rob Thompson, Group Sales Director of SYS Systems’ parent company, Carfulan Group, said: “This is another exciting addition to a growing portfolio of dental 3D printing solutions from Stratasys.
“We are seeing an increased uptake in 3D printing from dental labs across the UK and Ireland and the DentaJet XL provides an even more advanced solution to deliver even better results for patients.
“We are excited to see how our customers will be able to take advantage of this groundbreaking system to not only save time but allow their businesses to be more profitable.”
The DentaJet XL, a PolyJet multi-material 3D printer, is designed to run in a production setting with minimal human intervention. With advanced software print prep and print management features, as well as unattended printing and curing, labs can reduce up to 90 percent of their labour costs.
The introduction of new printing modes and larger cartridges results in up to 67% lower cost per part. The DentaJet XL can be integrated with new validated, fast and large batch post processing workflows for support removal. It also allows for printing two materials simultaneously and it can improve lab productivity and lowers costs, making it the ‘go-to’ solution for large volume production labs around the world.
Ronen Lebi, Vice President, Stratasys Dental, said: “The Stratasys DentaJet XL solution is engineered specifically for digital dental labs that must deliver high volumes of applications without sacrificing quality, helping them overcome significant challenges in finding and retaining qualified technicians as they work to meet growing market demand.
“It is the most efficient production solution we have developed to date, geared to produce highly accurate crown and bridge, implant and aligner models and surgical guides simultaneously at scale.”
Airnivol were one of the first customers to implement the DentaJet XL in Europe, and immediately saw the benefits of the system with time and cost savings from the first print.
Professor Armando Razionale from Airnivol said: “The new super high-speed mode allowed us to significantly increase our production of clear aligners by nearly 50%, without adding any additional labour and at a much-reduced cost per part.
“Plus, by integrating the DentaJet XL with the automatic support removal workflow, we are saving a tremendous amount of time and labour in the final stage of production. It’s almost like we added a virtual lab technician!”
The first DentaJet XL customers were able to achieve notable production results:
- Up to 16 implant cases (surgical guide and model) in 6 hours 30 minutes
- Up to 102 crown and bridge models in 4 hours 31 minutes
- Up to 28 orthodontic models in 6 hours 37 minutes
- Up to 36 aligner arches in 2 hours 14 minutes
Notable features of this new solution include:
- Uninterrupted printing, even for the largest jobs with 4kg resin cartridges and hot-swap.
- Significantly reduced print prep times and integrated fleet management with intuitive GrabCAD Print software.
- Increased production speed of clear aligner arches by up to 30 per cent with a super high-speed mode.
- Dual-material printing, which allows labs to increase output by printing two materials at once.
- Efficient post-processing with integrated third-party workflows for large batch support removal. This streamlines processes and saves time and labour.
