Step 2
Prepare the 3D printer
Insert the material unit and Primeprint Box before starting the 3D printing process.
Step 3
Move the Primeprint Box
The automated post-processing can start as soon as the Primeprint Box has been moved from the Printer to the PPU.
Step 4
Finalization
You now have a medically safe product after automated and manual post-processing.
Why choose Primeprint Solution?
A medical-grade 3D printing solution
Primeprint Solution is a simplified, highly automated, end-to-end 3D printing solution for producing medical applications, enabling users to expand their treatment and service offerings. It also helps reduce handling times and manual work, allowing you to aim at maximizing productivity.
Designed with dental intelligence for excellence in your practice and lab
Dental Intelligence hardware and software enable the user to print biocompatible applications with reproducible and accurate results1. The intelligent material-handling concept was developed with the aim of safe and clean usage with RFID coding throughout the manufacturing process. By using the open, collaborative platform of cloud design services, dentists can request high-quality CADs, created by expert lab technicians, as ready-to-print files for 3D printing with Primeprint.
Procedures and treatment outcomes with a high level of safety
A quality process protocol supports a high level of safety based on medical device compliance and automatic case documentation for biocompatible applications. The unique Primeprint Box enables convenient and easy material handling without having direct contact with resins.
System Components
3D print, wash process, and light-cure with the Primeprint 3D printer and Primeprint PPU (post-processing unit). Primeprint collaborates with software for automated print and post-processing, and extensive material management.
In Primeprint PPU, printed objects are washed, dried, and light cured.
inLab CAM Software
Easily control the printing process with inLab CAM Software 22, just by using the fast-forward button or adjusting the parameters before printing. For users of third-party CAD software, construction data in an STL format can be imported into the inLab CAM Software.
Primeprint Box
This integrated transport box system ensures a clean and safe application without direct contact to the resin. Primeprint Box offers UV light protection to avoid any additional exposure.
Washing Containers
Primeprint PPU comes with two washing containers to pre-wash and finally wash the printed object in isopropanol. Thanks to an RFID tag, the system automatically checks the fill level and condition of the contents.
Cartridges and Material Unit
Primeprint offers a variety of validated materials, offering a high level of process-safety for each application.
Features
RFID Tagging
Primeprint and Primeprint PPU automatically detect the material, without contact, thanks to RFID technology. The cartridge, material unit, and washing containers are equipped with RFID tags for fast handling and predictive maintenance.
DLP Light Engine
Primeprint uses digital light processing (DLP) technology, where resins are polymerized using UV light. The light projector hardens the resin layer by layer to deliver highly accurate printing results.
Intelligent Material Management
For specific indications, Primeprint uses a distinct material. The cartridges are color-coded for easy, contactless handling and intuitive operation. Primeprint also offers complete UV light protection. Thanks to the RFID tag, Primeprint automatically checks the inserted cartridge and fill level.
Active Charcoal Filter
The integrated active coal filter makes an external suction device redundant.
Robot Arm
Inside of the printer and the PPU, a robot arm moves the build plate to the respective process step without any manual work on your part.
Fast Printing
Primeprint quickly prints what you need for an optimized workflow.
Exact Lifetime Tracking
By using RFID tags and intelligent material management, Primeprint can predict any required maintenance.
Aluminum Building Platform
The building platform is equipped with highly reflective aluminum to ensure a maximum level of light efficiency and allow only low light absorption. Printed objects are securely attached to the build plate and securely transported with the Primeprint Box.
Testimonials
For us dentists, Primeprint turns 3D printing into an efficient application for everyday use, and that’s also great for my patients. The workflow is simplified end to end so I can get very good results.“
I am more than enthusiastic about Primeprint, as it means 3D printing on a completely new level for our dental lab. The printer speed allows me to run multiple print jobs even during the day.”
Validated materials and RFID-supported, automated material management ensure quality, process, and documentation security. All material parameters have been optimized to be process-safe for each application.
The Primeprint material concept offers user-friendly support with its color-coded cartridge system. Each print medium type is associated with a different color, which is mirrored in the CAM software for quick orientation, correct medium selection, and easily identifiable storage.
CEREC is the superior digital chairside treatment experience for single-visit dentistry. From scan to design and production, CEREC enables dental professionals to manufacture dental restorations in their practices in just a few steps.
