US-based EasyRx, a developer of orthodontic prescription software, announced integration with 3D Systems’ NextDent 3D Sprint software. The integration will allow users to select EasyRx based STL files in EasyRx and open these files in 3D Sprint software for 3D printing using the 3D Systems’ upcoming NextDent 5100 3D Printer.
EasyRx allows users to submit, manage and track orthodontic lab prescriptions, including preparing and labeling them for 3D printing.

EasyRx users can simply launch an STL file by simply clicking on the 3D Sprint icon inside of EasyRx to launch 3D Sprint and open the selected STL files. The integration will now allow users to go from digital scan to 3D print faster than ever before using the upcoming NextDent 5100 3D Printer from 3D Systems.
Powered by 3D Systems’, Figure 4 technology, the upcoming NextDent 5100 3D Printer from 3D Systems is developed to facilitate high-speed production of dental appliances and sacrificial castings.
