BOSTON, MA, USA, Sep 9, 2024 – Desktop Health, the trusted production-grade dental 3D printing brand of Desktop Metal, Inc. (NYSE: DM), is proud to announce that Flexcera family resins are now qualified for use with LuxCreo 3D printers.
Flexcera dental resins are FDA (510)k cleared, MDR certified, and CE marked for 3D printed restoratives, such as provisional implant supported dentures, veneers, crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, cosmetic snap-on smiles, and removables such as full and partial dentures.
Flexcera for LuxCreo, offered on the iLux Pro Dental and fastprint.io 3D printers, is now available for purchase in the United States, United Kingdom, European Economic Area, and Canada. Not all versions of Flexcera may be available in all of these regions.
“We are excited to welcome LuxCreo into the Flexcera family – which will enable this popular brand of dental printers to now offer beautiful, high performance dental prosthetics,” said Lou Azzara, President of Desktop Health. “Everyday, patients around the world are being fitted with custom, affordable implants, dentures and other dental prosthetics that are improving their lives.”
While LuxCreo offers resins for aligners, surgical guides, and night guards, Flexcera now offers LuxCreo’s users a premium range of dental resins for restorative, cosmetic, implant and denture applications that provide ideal aesthetic and mechanical properties. LuxCreo is the only 3D printer manufacturer to offer an end-to-end direct printed aligner solution for orthodontists via its iLux Pro Dental and fastprint.io™ dental 3D printers.
The LuxCreo fastprint.io printer is ideal for dental offices with a slightly smaller footprint and build area. Offered in partnership with Glidewell, the largest dental lab in the world, the system will now enable more patients to benefit from Flexcera family resins.
“With Flexcera Smile Ultra+ and Glidewell fastprint.io 3D printing solution in partnership with LuxCreo, our clinic can now offer All-on-X restorations entirely in-house, providing patients with durable, beautiful smiles in a single visit,” said Dr. Dane Dudley DDS of Lompoc Family Dental in Lompoc, Calif.
Dedication to Flexcera 3D Print Quality
Desktop Health is committed to validating Flexcera family resins only on 3D printers that can print the material with excellence and patient-safe compliance. To date, that has included premium high-powered DLP® printers that offer a 385 nm wavelength light engine and deliver on other precision and surface finish requirements.
Passing a suite of ISO testing, Flexcera-approved digital dental workflows deliver accuracy of prints, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility.
The first Flexcera family resins validated for LuxCreo systems are:
- Flexcera Smile Ultra+ – used for permanent and temporary, 3D printable dental restorations
- Flexcera Smile – used for removable 3D printable denture teeth
- Flexcera Base Ultra+ – used for 3D printable full, removable denture bases and partials
All Flexcera for LuxCreo resins are FDA 510(k) cleared, MDR certified, and CE marked.
