The new offerings include the PreForm Dental workspace, new PreForm integrations with intraoral scanners, Fast Arch Printing, Form Auto, Fast Cure, and Temporary CB Resin.

Streamlines 3D Printing Workflow

PreForm Dental is a dental-specific software workspace that streamlines 3D printing setup, management, and monitoring, enabling dental users to automate the print setup for restorative models, occlusal guards, and more. 

“By speeding up and improving every stage of the 3D printing workflow, from image capture to printing and post processing, Formlabs is delivering the next step in digital dentistry while reducing costs and time.” said Guillaume Bailliard, president of healthcare at Formlabs.

Partnership with 3Shape

Formlabs Dental has also partnered with 3Shape to co-develop an integration that makes dentistry easier and more intuitive for their customers. The new PreForm integration with 3Shape Produce enables dental lab and practice users to design and print more seamlessly with an optimized workflow and one-click print when using Splint Studio, Implant Studio, Model Maker, and other 3Shape apps.

Increasing Production Speed and Productivity

Fast Arch Printing, available on the Form 3B and Form 3B+ reportedly allows users to print eight arches in 20 minutes and a single arch in under 10 minutes, increasing productivity so users can go from design to print two times faster than current settings, enabling same visit dentistry and fast, on-demand dental modeling.

Form Auto enables automated 24/7 printing with automatic part removal, reducing labor, and increasing production. The hardware extension is now available for order and works with the Form 3B and Form 3B+.

Fast Cure, validated to cure more than 17 resins in under six minutes, saves 90% on cure time compared to the Form Cure. Fast Cure can cure dental models in one minute, crowns, bridges, and surgical guides in five minutes, and occlusal guards in six minutes.

Temporary CB Resin, available in four VITA shades, including the new Bleach Shade, is designed for temporary crown and bridge restorations, inlays, onlays, and veneers, providing excellent marginal adaptation, strength, and aesthetics.

Formlabs Dental’s new solutions aim to improve workflow and industry leading print quality to dental practices and labs.
