Whip Mix is launching a new 3D printing resin designed for the production of surgical guides and a new curing unit that is a part of a new 3D printed denture workflow featuring materials from Dentca.
The new VeriGuide OS is a Class I CE certified resin for printing surgical guides. The material is compatible with 3D printers using either the 385 nm or the 405 nm light wavelength, according to a press release. The material is biocompatible and offers a simplified post-processing method. The material prints accurately and allows sleeves to be inserted directly after printing, and it can be sterilized by autoclave, steam, ethylene oxide, or gamma rays without impacting dimensional stability.
The UViTRON ITELLIRAY curing unit uses UV light to cure Dentca digital denture materials for the production of 3D printed dentures. It produces light ranging from 320 nm to 390 nm and can cure up to 12 dentures at once. It is fully enclosed and provides a beep to alert to the completion of a curing cycle.
