About the Primeprint 3D Printing System

Expand your practice or lab with 3D printing

Primeprint Solution is a highly automated, end-to-end, medical grade 3D printing system for dentists and dental technicians who want to expand their treatment or service offerings. This smart hardware and software solution is designed for dental applications and can run the entire printing process, including post-processing. The high level of automation helps reduce handling times, allows for delegation, and enables a high level of productivity. Primeprint Solution enables the user to print biocompatible applications with reproducible and accurate results. 1

How Does Primeprint Solution Work?

3D print, wash process, and light-cure with the Primeprint 3D printer and Primeprint PPU (post-processing unit).

Step 1

Prepare the File

Accurately prepare a print file before sending it to the printer in just a click of a button.

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?

Ease of use and high level of automation

Learn more about the benefits of Primeprint Solution during the whole printing process. Expand your practice or lab with excellence in medical results and in safe working conditions. Primeprint is powered by DS Core.

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.

Primeprint

The printer uses digital light processing (DLP) technology, where resins are polymerized using UV light, layer by layer.

Primeprint PPU

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.“

Mike Skramstad, DDS, USA

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.”

Christian Schuchmann, Dental Technician, Germany
