Hi usually the accuracy would have been previously callibrated with a callibration cube that measures XYZ axis. If found incorrect, it can be added or subtracted in the Gcode. Also, you can adjust it in the model scale, like 100.5% or 99.5%. If properly calibrated, (most modern printers are), then it will print correctly. If by chance we use third party resin or materials, there may be slight difference, but again we can adjust this in the settings. If material and printer is not changed, the corrected settings can be used for all the next prints.
very cool. As a dentist making our own cad cam crowns and bridges, is there a class you'd recommend that I could take on making dentures, using a scanner, mill and 3D printer?
I can only say I'm really very dissapointed at the reliability of the Form2 printer. Our company has been using it for 6 months (professiona)l now and only had problems with it, ranging from a not correct calibrated optical system or not recognizing the Resin Tanks. So I think this is a nice printer for hobby purposes , but absolutely not as a reliable production tool. BEANTWOORDEN
I agree! We too had a lot of problems with the Form2. For us, it was the bed levelling and lifting mechanism which had alignment problems. Also, very expensive resin tanks to buy. We have sinced shifted to FDM with the Prusa i3 Mk3 and have had good results. Print with 50 microns and 0.3mm nozzle (tooth prep, inlays, onlays etc) for precision and 100 microns with 0.4mm nozzle for larger work like full models. Really good and consistent results even with cheap Chinese ABS filaments.
PS the curing tank also broke down after 2 months and we are using UV sterilization equipment to cure our models. Real hassle and couldnt train technicians to use the curer and printer.
Cast Partial design is shown different and then final denture is complete denture design , how come they say that its printing same time...while even denture are also not the same
How strong is the dentures you can make in comparison to those that is made with acrylic. Also can the printer do custom coloring like marble or multiple colors or is it limited to just making the lab study models. I would also like to know if it is more or less durable compared to lab stone and can it be cut through and manipulated with and glued together with current lab adhesives and wax... or does this require more items to purchase to manipulate the models?
Hi there! The partial denture framework is made of our material PEEK. PEEK is digitally manufactured and is a medical grade polymer that provides patients with an alternative solution to chrome cobalt dentures. You can find out more here: www.dts-international.com/our-products/prosthetics/peek
