Stratasys launched the DentaJet™ XL, a ground-breaking dental 3D printing solution. This new high-speed dental 3D printer is the latest addition to the DentaJet series, with larger resin cartridges, a larger print tray, Super High-Speed mode, and minimal post-processing workflow.
The Stratasys DentaJet XL solution is designed specifically for digital dental labs that must deliver high volumes of applications while maintaining quality, assisting them in overcoming significant challenges in finding and retaining qualified technicians as they work to meet rising market demand.
DentaJet XL, a Dental 3D Printer
The PolyJet™ multi-material 3D printer is designed for production use with minimal human intervention. With advanced software print prep and print management features, as well as unattended printing and curing, labs can save up to 90% on labour costs. The introduction of new printing modes and larger cartridges lowers the cost per part by up to 67%.
This new printer is compatible with new validated, fast, and large batch post-processing workflows for support removal. It also allows for the simultaneous printing of two materials. It can also increase lab productivity while lowering costs, making it the “go-to” solution for large volume production labs around the world.
Ronen Lebi, Vice President, Stratasys Dental, said, “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.”
“Incorporating the DentaJet XL 3D printer into our laboratory has significantly improved our digital workflow. With its large print tray, 4X larger resin cartridges, and hot-swap capabilities, we have already achieved significant material and labour savings.”
– James Dobson, Vice President, Digital Production, Dobson Ortho Laboratories
Dobson continued, “Creating print jobs has become extremely fast and simple with the automatic part nesting features. Furthermore, its sealed resin system ensures a healthier workplace for our team.”
“The new Super High-Speed Mode allowed us to significantly increase our production of clear aligners by nearly 50%, without adding any additional labor and at a much-reduced cost per part.”
– Prof. Armando Razionale, Airnivol, and one of the first customers implementing the solution in Europe
Prof. Razionale added, “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 & 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:
- With 4kg resin cartridges and hot-swap, you can print uninterrupted, even on the largest jobs.
- With intuitive GrabCAD Print software, print preparation times were significantly reduced, and fleet management was seamlessly integrated.
- With a super high-speed mode, clear aligner arches can now be produced at up to 30 percent faster.
- Dual-material printing enables labs to increase output by printing two materials at once.
- Efficient post-processing with integrated third-party workflows for large-scale support removal. This streamlines processes, saving time and effort.
