New printing materials are now available for our Planmeca Creo® C5 dental 3D printer. The new resins include materials for printing customised impression trays, indirect bonding trays and gingiva masks for dental models. Our popular materials for printing dental models and aligner bases are now available as large 1 kg bottles, replacing the capsule packaging for both. 3D printing just got a little better.
News Dec 02, 2021
We are pleased to announce the availability of several new printing materials as well as new material bottles for our Planmeca Creo® C5 dental 3D printer.
FotoDent® tray by Dreve
This class I biocompatible impression tray material allows manufacturing customised impression trays at the point of care that are more accurate and comfortable for the patient compared to bulky off-the-shelf trays.
FotoDent® IBT by Dreve
A class I biocompatible printing resin for fabricating transparent indirect bonding trays. Bonding trays allow shorter chair times associated with bracket placement for a better patient experience.
FotoDent® gingiva by Dreve
This material is intended for printing gingiva masks to mimic soft tissue in dental lab models. Soft and flexible, masks printed with FotoDent gingiva combine seamlessly with dental models printed using FotoDent® model2 or FotoDent® model.
FotoDent® model2 by Dreve
The new printing resin improves both precision and stability, delivering outstanding quality for dental models printed with Planmeca Creo C5. FotoDent model2 replaces the previous FotoDent model printing material and is only available as a 1 kg bottle.
FotoDent® setup by Dreve
Our popular printing resin for aligner bases is now available as a 1 kg bottle, replacing the previous capsule packaging.
Most of the new materials are compatible with original as well as monochrome Planmeca Creo C5 devices; however, FotoDent model2 is only compatible with monochrome printing. If you would like to upgrade your original Planmeca Creo C5 with a monochrome LCD screen, please contact your local distributor for information on retrofitting your device. As of January 2021, all new Planmeca Creo C5 devices are shipped with a monochrome LCD screen.
All printing materials for Planmeca Creo C5 go through rigorous mechanical testing and evaluation, with additional tests for the materials which require medical approval.
