3D Systems, Rock Hill, SC, recently announced that it has entered into a multinational distribution agreement with Henry Schein Inc, Melville, NY. Under the new agreement, Henry Schein will offer 3D Systems’ 3D printers to its dental laboratory customers in the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Australia, and Thailand. The agreement expands 3D Systems’ dental labs reach and integrates its printers into Henry Schein’s digital dental solution.
Henry Schein will market and sell 3D Systems’ micro-SLA ProJet® 1200 and its new ProJet® 3510 DPPro as part of its digital dental laboratory offering, which includes 3D scanners, software, installation, and post-sales support.
The new ProJet 3510 DPPro 3D printer features a large build volume designed to enable lab managers to rethink maximum throughput and tighten production schedules. According to a release, this printer enables labs to print enhanced, highly accurate wax-ups for crowns, bridges, and partial denture frameworks, in addition to working models for crown and bridge, orthodontic, partial dentures, and dental models in USP Class VI-capable VisiJet® Stoneplast.
The desktop ProJet 1200 puts industrial-grade SLA 3D printing in an affordable lab bench-top package. With specially engineered materials, including VisiJet FTX Green and VisiJet FTX Cast, this compact machine is designed to quickly produce dental wax-ups—for copings, bridges, and pressed ceramics—that are compatible with traditional workflows.
