Phrozen Enters Dental Market with New Printers

Phrozen, a consumer resin 3D printing provider, is making significant strides into the professional dental market with the launch of its latest machines at the International Dental Show (IDS) 2025. The event, scheduled for March 25–29 in Cologne, Germany, will serve as the global stage for Phrozen’s new lineup, which includes the Sonic CS+ and Sonic LS+ resin 3D printers. These machines are designed to address the growing demand for precision, speed, and ease of use in dental 3D printing workflows.

According to Ray Wu, Phrozen’s CEO, “At Phrozen, our mission is to make digital dentistry accessible and easy for every clinic and lab.” This vision aligns with the company’s reputation for innovation, having been one of the first to introduce 8K resolution in resin printers—a feature that revolutionized detailed printing for miniatures, jewelry, and dental models. With the Sonic CS+ and LS+, Phrozen aims to deliver an ecosystem tailored specifically for dental professionals.

Sonic CS+ and LS+: Tailored Solutions for Dental Applications

The Sonic CS+ and Sonic LS+ are positioned as versatile solutions for dental clinics and labs, each catering to different production needs. The Sonic CS+ offers a build volume of 165 x 71 x 175 mm, capable of accommodating up to six full-arch prints. Its smaller build plate is ideal for detailed dental crowns, while its larger counterpart suits temporary restorations, surgical guides, occlusal splints, and all-on-X hybrid dentures. Equipped with a 385nm LCD and 22-micron XY resolution, the CS+ achieves print speeds of up to 100 mm/h. Additional features include a built-in air purifier system and a 7-inch touch screen, making it suitable as a chairside solution.

The Sonic LS+, on the other hand, is designed for higher-volume production. With a larger print surface, it can handle approximately 20 full-arch models or 35 occlusal splints per batch. The LS+ boasts rapid printing capabilities, producing up to eight models in under 40 minutes. It also includes a built-in heater and validated settings optimized for dental model resins, ensuring consistent results.

Both printers are supported by the AI-powered DS Slicer, which simplifies the preparation process by automatically orienting and adding supports to models. “Our resin 3D printers are so easy to use that anyone can start printing in as little as 10 minutes,” Phrozen claims, highlighting the accessibility of its technology.

Streamlined Workflow with New Accessories

To complement its printers, Phrozen has introduced a range of accessory equipment aimed at enhancing the post-processing workflow. The Cure+ post-curing unit accelerates the curing process while strengthening polymer bonds through “flash curing” and controlled heating at 60°C. According to Phrozen, this ensures “maximizing both the biocompatibility and mechanical strength of printed dental appliances.”

The V-Cure offers an oxygen-free vacuum curing solution, eliminating the need for glycerin baths or nitrogen setups. This provides a cleaner and safer alternative for post-curing dental parts. Additionally, the Heat & Mix automates resin mixing, ensuring consistency for high-viscosity and additive-filled resins, which is critical for maintaining quality in large-scale production.

For clear aligner production, the Trim+ automates the trimming process, reducing manual labor and cutting processing time to just 1–1.5 minutes per aligner. Together, these tools create a comprehensive ecosystem that streamlines dental 3D printing from start to finish.

Teased Metal 3D Printer for Dental Parts

In addition to its resin-based offerings, Phrozen has teased a metal 3D printer named Forge. While details remain scarce, the Forge appears to be a metal laser powder bed fusion machine accompanied by a sintering oven. Designed for producing implants, bridges, and other dental appliances, the Forge represents Phrozen’s ambition to expand its portfolio beyond resin printing.

Although no specifications or pricing have been released for the Forge, its introduction underscores Phrozen’s commitment to providing end-to-end solutions for the dental industry.

Competitive Pricing and Availability

Phrozen has strategically positioned its new printers to offer competitive pricing compared to established players in the dental 3D printing market. The Sonic CS+ will retail for $4,500 less than the Formlabs Form 4B and the Shining 3D AccuFab-Cel, while the Sonic LS+ will be priced $5,500 below the Sprintray Pro 2 and the Asiga Ultra 50.

The Sonic CS+ and Cure+ are set to become available starting March 25, coinciding with IDS 2025. The Sonic LS+ and V-Cure are expected to follow in Q3 or Q4 2025. Visitors to IDS 2025 can see these machines in action at Phrozen’s booth, located in Hall 11.3, Booth F081.

Conclusion

With the launch of the Sonic CS+, Sonic LS+, and a suite of accessory equipment, Phrozen is positioning itself as a key player in the professional dental 3D printing market. By combining user-friendly technology, competitive pricing, and a focus on streamlined workflows, the company aims to democratize access to digital dentistry. The teaser of the Forge metal 3D printer further signals Phrozen’s long-term vision for innovation in the dental sector. As these products roll out, they are likely to attract significant attention from clinics and labs seeking reliable and efficient solutions for their 3D printing needs.
