Technology & Products
Key Products
Photopolymer resins (FotoDent®) and validated 3D printing workflows for dental and audiology applications, including dental models, aligners, earmolds, hearing protection, and laboratory silicon.
Technological Advantage
Proprietary resin formulations optimized for medical-grade SLA/DLP printing, achieving high precision (95% data points within 32µ) and biocompatibility; validated process chains reduce customer implementation risk.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces production time for custom dental devices by up to 50% through validated SLA/DLP workflows, ensures biocompatibility (ISO 10993 certified), and provides single-source solutions from resins to post-processing equipment.
How They Differentiate
Focuses exclusively on medical/dental photopolymer resins and validated workflows, unlike broader competitors; offers ISO-certified biocompatible materials and integrated post-processing solutions.
