Flexcera resins qualified for use on LuxCreo 3D printers
Desktop Health's materials are enabling Luxcreo to expand into cosmetic, restorative, and removable applications
Desktop Health, the dental 3D printing brand of Desktop Metal, and LuxCreo, a 3D printing technology developer, have qualified Flexcera resins for use on LuxCreo 3D printers.
The first Flexcera family resins validated for LuxCreo systems are Flexcera Smile Ultra+ (used for permanent and temporary, 3D printable dental restorations); Flexcera Smile (used for removable 3D printable denture teeth); and Flexcera Base Ultra+ (used for 3D printable full, removable denture bases and partials). Flexcera for LuxCreo, offered on the iLux Pro Dental and fastprint.io 3D printers, is now available for purchase in the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, and Canada. Not all versions of Flexcera may be available in all of these regions.
Flexcera dental resins are FDA (510)k cleared, MDR certified, and CE marked for 3D printed restoratives, such as provisional implant-supported dentures, veneers, crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, cosmetic snap-on smiles, and removables such as full and partial dentures.
“We are excited to welcome LuxCreo into the Flexcera family – which will enable this popular brand of dental printers to now offer beautiful, high-performance dental prosthetics,” said Lou Azzara, President of Desktop Health. “Every day, patients around the world are being fitted with custom, affordable implants, dentures, and other dental prosthetics that are improving their lives.”
While LuxCreo offers resins for aligners, surgical guides, and night guards, Flexcera now offers LuxCreo’s users a premium range of dental resins for restorative, cosmetic, implant, and denture applications that provide ideal aesthetic and mechanical properties. LuxCreo is one of the only 3D printer manufacturers to offer an end-to-end direct printed aligner solution for orthodontists – via its iLux Pro Dental and fastprint.io dental 3D printers.
The LuxCreo fastprint.io printer is well-suited to dental offices with a slightly smaller footprint and build area. Offered in partnership with Glidewell, one of the largest dental labs in the world, the system will now enable more patients to benefit from Flexcera family resins.
“With Flexcera Smile Ultra+ and Glidewell fastprint.io 3D printing solution in partnership with LuxCreo, our clinic can now offer All-on-X restorations entirely in-house, providing patients with durable, beautiful smiles in a single visit,” said Dr. Dane Dudley DDS of Lompoc Family Dental in Lompoc, California.
