With liquid-based 3D printing technologies such as SLA and DLP remaining one of the most used AM processes in dental 3D printing, AM solutions’ providers continue to deliver new materials that will advance 3D printed dental applications.
The latest material to be released on the market for these applications is the dental-oriented photopolymer resin Liqcreate Gingiva Mask. Developed by Dutch 3D printing material producer Liqcreate, the new resin completes a portfolio that already includes Dental Model Pro resin materials.
According to Liqcreate, the new resin is a pink colored photopolymer, which is soft and flexible and that can be used in combination with Liqcreate Dental Model Pro Beige or Grey material. The resin was developed and designed together with dental professionals to meet the high standers in this industry. Gingiva Mask opens the possibility to create the soft parts for highly precise models, bridges and implant superstructures. Liqcreate Gingiva Mask is easy to use on open MSLA / LCD, DLP and SLA 3D-printers in the range of 385 – 420nm. With its soft and flexible properties, it is perfect for the production of gum parts and soft tissue which supports dental implant models and C&B projects.
With this new resin Liqcreate creates a great portfolio for prosthodontic and orthodontic applications. In addition, it is becoming a well-positioned player in the dental 3D industry.
Focus on R&D Developments
Besides the new materials launched this year Liqcreate continues to innovate in the resin industry with R&D projects ranging in the medical and industrial applications. With an innovative and dynamic team of chemist and technical minded engineers, Liqcreate is setting a new standard for engineering and industrial products.
Liqcreate is working together with industry leading companies in the field of automotive and engineering to bring new 3D-printed products and parts to the market. Companies reduce time to market and have a faster design to manufacturing when switching from conventional product design to 3D printing. Due to Liqcreate’s independent manufacturering capabilities and R&D facilities it can offer a quick go to market solution which allows customers to quickly cover the demand currently needed.
In the field of small volume and custom equipment for the manufacturing industry, Liqcreate supports companies by introducing new materials like Composite-X and custom developments. Soft materials like Flexible-X are used by these manufacturers in End of arm tooling, reducing lead times and increasing time-to-market with their solutions.
In a Q&A series, the company shared key insights into the different forms of toxicity and solutions explored to reduce it in resin 3D Printing.
In addition to its growing portfolio, the company currently increases its network of distributors and partners in serval different countries. It entered serval new markets like Australia, Canada, Russia and the Balkan area. In addition setting up strategic partnerships with large printer manufacturers like UnionTech, Asiga and many more.
