3D Print Hard Splints on the Form 2 in Less Than 50 Minutes

Oct. 12, 2017

Formlabs has quickly established itself as the premier authority on digital dentistry since entering the market in 2016. We now command the largest dental 3D printer user base, have sold thousands of printers to dental professionals, and are growing at a pace of over 600 percent year on year.
Practitioners have performed over 50,000 surgeries with Formlabs-printed surgical guides—and that’s just 10 percent of what dental users are doing with our printers. All of this has catalyzed an industry-wide shift to 3D printing and digital dentistry.

Today, we’re proud to announce the release of Dental LT Clear, the first long-term biocompatible resin in desktop 3D printing for manufacturing splints, retainers, and other direct-printed orthodontic devices.

With the fastest printing time of any Formlabs material to date, the Form 2 can now 3D print a splint in less than 50 minutes, and a full build platform with up to seven splints in under two hours. We’ve also released updates to our Dental SG Resin and PreForm software that improve print speeds for surgical guides by up to 50 percent.
