3D printing for dental aligners

Make aligner master models quickly, accurately and consistently.

The difference is clear.

With 3D printing, you can just do more.

Prodways has long partnered with top dental labs worldwide, pushing the boundaries of clarity in aligners. Using ProMaker L- series printers and the groundbreaking Absolute Aligner dental resin, a Prodways solution gets you high throughput, outstanding accuracy and ultra transparency.

Technology to meet unique demands

Custom aligners are thermoformed from 3D printed master models. Manufacturers need to deliver a high level of quality and customization, usually with quick turnaround. Keeping patients and their dentists happy while remaining profitable takes three things: A printer with high throughput, the ability to print at high resolution, and consistent performance day after day, week after week.

Dental applications are Prodways’ specialty.

Fast production. MOVINGLight® printers can produce as many as 55 dental models in an hour, with no consumables and no need for printing supports.
High resolution. MOVINGLight® technology was developed to bring incredible detail to DLP printing. With resolutions as fine as 40 microns per pixel, their precision is ideal for dental lab use.
Consistent performance. Prodways machines are work machines: Simple to use and easy to rely on for great results every day, independent of operator skill.
Large build plate. Allows labs to print more models at one time.
