3D Printers and Costs

Commercial 3D printing equipment costs vary widely based on production class and technology. Documented systems in our catalog range from $10,995.00 for Figure 4 dental units to $55,700.00, $64,700.00, $69,000.00, and $72,000.00 for advanced MultiJet Printing platforms. Dedicated production systems like the SLA 750 can reach up to $360,000.00.

For entry into professional digital workflows, entry-level commercial units such as the NextDent 5100 Dental start at $10,995.00. While non-industrial desktop hobby printers exist at lower price points elsewhere, commercial production equipment provides regulatory-compliant biocompatible resins, automated post-processing compatibility, and precision tolerances required for functional use cases.

Hardware costs correlate with the underlying print technology and material capabilities. MultiJet Printing (MJP) platforms offering dissolvable support removal and 100% wax casting, such as the ProJet MJP 2500IC at $69,000.00, demand higher capital investments than high-speed membrane-based DLP systems like Figure 4 technology, while reducing post-processing labor.

Yes, business financing and leasing programs are available to lower initial capital expenditure. For example, qualifying systems like the PROJET MJP 2500IC offer business financing terms as low as $1,432 per month over a 60-month term through financing partners, enabling facilities to adopt additive manufacturing with minimal upfront investment.

Operating costs depend on the specific resins or waxes used. Specialty consumables, such as VisiJet 100% wax casting formulations, engineering plastics, or CE-certified biocompatible NextDent resins, are purchased separately. Volume and custom material pricing is available upon request depending on monthly consumption and batch requirements.

Most professional platforms integrate dedicated client software, such as 3D Sprint, for file preparation, monitoring, and cloud connectivity via 3D Connect. Optional automated post-processing equipment, such as the MJP EasyClean System for batch support removal in under 30 minutes, may be added to optimize complete turnaround times.
