Formlabs Dental LT Clear splints.
Stereolithography leader, Formlabs, has released its latest dental-specific 3D printing material, Dental LT Clear, the first long-term biocompatible resin in desktop manufacturing for orthodontic applications.
Said to be the fastest Formlabs material to-date, Dental LT Clear can be used to print single splints and retainers in less than 50 minutes, and full build platforms featuring up to seven splints, can be completed in under two hours.
“Since entering the dental market in 2016, Formlabs has quickly established itself as the premier player in dental 3D printing,” Dávid Lakatos, Chief Product Officer at Formlabs commented. “We now command the largest dental 3D printer user base, have sold thousands of printers to dental professionals, and are growing at a pace of over 600 percent year on year. All of this has catalysed an industry-wide shift to 3D printing and digital dentistry.”

The Boston-based company has also improved its Dental SG resin, released last year, to reduce print times for surgical guides by up to 50 percent. Thanks to the latest PreForm software update, Form 2 3D printer users can now create full builds with a 20 percent percent time reduction.
“We couldn’t be more excited by how quickly 3D printing is becoming part of the standard of care in dentistry,” Gideon Balloch, Dental Product Lead at Formlabs added. “Over 50,000 surgeries have been performed with a Formlabs printed surgical guide—and that’s just 10 percent of what dental users are doing with our printers. Dental LT Clear adds yet another digital workflow to a library that offers professionals more efficient, accurate, and affordable production methods, enabling faster treatments for patients with better clinical outcomes. It’s only going to continue to grow.”
