dima Print materials: light-curing resins for guaranteed clinical efficacy

Kulzer combined its longstanding materials expertise with deep knowledge of 3D printing to create dima Print materials. The resins are perfectly matched to the cara 3D printing process in order to ensure the best results and guaranteed clinical efficacy.

dima Print materials are light-curing monomeric liquids (resins) specially optimized for 3D printing with a 405nm wavelength light source, and the specific requirements of each dental application.

Cartridge-free system and easy-refill materials

Some 3D printers utilize a cartridge system for resins. Not only does this prevent you from selecting the materials of your choice (i.e. closed-system concept), it makes the overall system less efficient. It can be compared with the cartridges of inkjet printers, which are fine for occasional private use, but not production. Cartridges simply do not fulfill the needs of professional labs, and require extra care in cleaning.

To keep in line with the open system concept of cara Print 4.0, dima Print materials are sold in simple refill containers.
