Liqcreate Launches Separation Model Resin to Eliminate External Separating Agents in Dental Workflows. Netherlands-based Liqcreate has released Separation Model, a specialized photopolymer resin designed for DLP and LCD 3D printing in dental and orthodontic applications. The material features an integrated separation agent that eliminates the need for manual application of external release mediums when fabricating acrylic-based appliances such as retainers and night guards. Developed in collaboration with dental laboratory partners, the resin is compatible with standard cold-cure PMMA-based acrylics and provides a matte surface finish with high dimensional accuracy for prosthetic and orthodontic workflows.

This product launch addresses a specific efficiency bottleneck in dental additive manufacturing by removing a manual, error-prone step from the appliance fabrication process. By incorporating the release agent directly into the resin chemistry, Liqcreate aims to improve the consistency and aesthetic quality of end-use dental devices while reducing labor time for technicians. This move strengthens Liqcreate's position in the dental materials segment, where competition remains high among resin manufacturers seeking to optimize workflows for high-volume dental laboratories. The material serves as a functional alternative to standard model resins that typically require external surface treatments to prevent adhesion to acrylic overlays.

For dental laboratories, the value of this resin lies in the reduction of process variability and labor costs associated with traditional model preparation. Users should validate the material's compatibility with their specific existing acrylic chemistry to ensure optimal separation performance and surface finish. Liqcreate must now demonstrate the long-term stability of the integrated agent across various printing parameters to ensure consistent results in clinical settings.
