Dental Impression and Casting Materials

Our dental and casting resin materials are formulated for major additive manufacturing technologies, including Digital Light Processing (DLP), Stereolithography (SLA), and MultiJet Printing (MJP). Specific materials are optimized for platforms such as the NextDent 5100, Figure 4, 3D Systems ProJet series, and SLA PRO series printers, ensuring broad compatibility across varied laboratory equipment configurations.

Castable dental resins are utilized to produce high-definition patterns for investment casting. Common applications include casting partial denture frameworks, crown and bridge frameworks, orthodontic appliances, and support structures. These materials are engineered to replicate fine anatomical details, providing an accurate base for subsequent metal casting workflows in commercial dental laboratories.

The castable resins in our catalog are engineered for clean, easy burnout within standard investment casting processes. They burn evenly through progressively increasing temperature stages, generating minimal thermal expansion and negligible ash content, with select formulations producing ash residue under 0.18%. This promotes smooth surfaces and residue-free molds ready for metal casting.

Yes, select materials within our 3D printing portfolio feature biocompatible material classifications. These specialized resins are suitable for clinical and patient-contact applications, including surgical guide production, orthodontic appliance manufacturing, dental trays, try-in dentures, and gingiva mask fabrication, backed by comprehensive Safety Data Sheets for regulatory handling.

Dental model and casting resins are offered in several container formats to support various laboratory production volumes. Standard packaging sizes include 1 kg bottles, 1.3 kg bottles, 1.5 kg bottles, 2-liter cartridges, and bulk 10 kg cartridges, providing flexible material management based on the specific 3D printer hardware in use.

To preserve material stability, castable photopolymer resins should be stored dry, within recommended ambient storage temperature ranges between 10°C and 50°C, and kept shielded from direct ultraviolet light exposure. Ensuring printed parts are thoroughly post-cured and free from surface tack is essential prior to commencing investment casting.
