We’re starting with dental 3D printing news today, and then moving on to some new partnerships. Then it’s on to some interesting university research about 3D printing plant-based pharmaceuticals, but without plants, and then 3D printed nanocellulose upscaled for applications in green architecture.Nexa3D Adds Three Dental Resins & Two North American Dental Partners
Ultrafast 3D printing company Nexa3D has added three new resins to its growing range of validated dental materials, all from dental industry leader Pac-Dent, Inc. The first is the Class II Rodin Denture Base 2.0, a biocompatible material that helps create dentures with more stability, flexibility, accuracy, and gingival shades. Then there’s Rodin Surgical Guide 2.0, which is used to print both full-arch and quadrant guides with the highest dimensional stability and shatter resistance. The material has superior strength, and is also compatible with autoclave sterilization. Finally, Rodin Splint 2.0 offers maximum strength, stability, aesthetics, and wear resistance for 3D printed night guards, retainers, splints, and snoring devices. Print profiles for Nexa3D’s XiP printers are now available.
The company is also expanding its dental presence in North America, accessibility to ultrafast printing, by introducing two new dental reseller partners there. CAD-Ray, based in Las Vegas, is a premier distribution and education company with plenty of experience in digital dentistry. The company specializes in 3D printing, CAD/CAM, CT technologies, guided implantology, and digital imaging. The other new member of Nexa3D’s reseller network is Harris Discount Dental Supply, a Minnesota-headquartered Warner Tech-care company. Harris Discount works to deliver quality products at affordable prices, which matches Nexa3D’s LSPc technology.
