3D Systems' Dental Printer Makes the 3Shape Grade
3D Systems Corporation announced today that it successfully completed the integration of its new ProJet™ MP 3500 Dental 3D Printers with 3Shape's Dental System™ and CAMbridge for direct, high speed, precision model production from the 3Shape Trios® intraoral scanner.
Sun Dental Labs successfully deployed this integrated solution to produce up to 24 quad cases in 5 ½ hours. Chuck Stapleton, Vice President of Digital Manufacturing at Sun, said, "The ProJet™ MP produces full quad cases of plaster-like models for about $5 and enables Sun to produce any type of restoration from our customer's stone model scanner or intra-oral scanner. The combined impact of this solution's precision, affordability and plaster-like characteristics compel us to step up our transition to a full digital work flow.
"We are very pleased to offer our dental lab customers a proven, integrated solution that combines the latest products from two leading providers into a powerful and affordable manufacturing tool," said Lee Dockstader, VP Business Development, 3D Systems Corporation.
