Stratasys, a leading manufacturer of 3D printers and production systems for prototyping and manufacturing, has announced the immediate availability of VeroDentPlus MED690 dental material for the Objet EdenV series of 3D Printers.

VeroDentPlus MED690 enables the 3D printing of dental models that are highly accurate, economical to produce, and offer the appearance of dental stone with fine details and resolution.

The new material can be used in conjunction with all open intra-oral impression and plaster scanners and is optimised for printing models for crowns, bridges, orthodontic appliances, and implants.

“Appearance and accuracy are everything in our business and we’re delighted with the details and resolution on the models being produced on our Objet Eden260V 3D Printer with the new VeroDentPlus,” says Chris Brown, manager of Apex Dental Milling in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

VeroDentPlus MED690 expands Stratasys growing family of materials for digital dentistry. Designed especially for use in dental and orthodontic solutions, these materials combine accurate detail visualisation with high dimensional stability. They are used by the Objet EdenV line of 3D Printers which print ultra-fine 16 micron layers for exceptional detail.
