Stratasys Ltd. has introduced a new 3D printer that gives dental labs 3D printing efficiency paired with PolyJet’s realism and precision. The J5 DentaJet 3D printer is the only multi-material dental 3D printer, enabling technicians to load mixed trays of dental parts.

The new 3D printer can produce at least five times more dental parts on a single mixed tray than competitive 3D printers, yet its compact footprint consumes only 4.6 sq. ft of floor space.

Dental labs must produce several parts in multiple materials for either removable partial denture (RPD) applications or dental implant cases. For example, each implant case comprises a top and bottom rigid opaque model, a soft gingiva mask, and a biocompatible surgical guide.

This requires three different materials, forcing technicians to either use multiple 3D printers or do separate 3D prints using different materials. The J5 DentaJet easily handles up to five materials, including support material.

The multicolor, multi-material J5 DentaJet also produces 3D-printed case presentations with realism and designs can be produced digitally in a few hours. The high resolution of PolyJet materials means dentists can seat crowns and bridges in minutes with accuracy of the models to 18.75 microns, or less than half the width of a human hair.

“The J5 DentaJet advances the full digital transformation of dental modeling with the potent combination of automation with accuracy. The system runs largely unattended, and you can even produce a build tray with a wide variety of different models using several different materials,” said Stratasys’ Healthcare Vice President Osnat Philipp.

NEO Lab is a family-owned orthodontic lab in Andover. The company has been beta-testing the J5 DentaJet as a way to make life easier for its 120 employees as they serve 3,000 orthodontic and dental clinics across the country.

Motor City Lab Works, a full-service orthodontics lab in Birmingham, has also been beta testing the J5 DentaJet. Dr. John Dumas, an orthodontist and CEO of Motor City Lab Works, has been impressed by the high-level of accuracy and high volume the machine can produce.

The J5 DentaJet is also launching with a full range of resins tailored to meet the needs of the dental industry. Available biocompatible resins include a clear resin, VeroGlaze opaque white for temporary in-mouth placement, and a clear and flexible resin.

In addition, Separator digital material automatically coats models to make it much easier to separate the acrylic device from the model and remove wax and residue. Other available resins include VeroDent PureWhite, and CMY resins for color.
