3Dent™ uses Selective Contour Photocuring technology (SCP) to quickly create highly accurate dental models with the look and feel of real gypsum models. SCP is a promising new technology which enables high-speed curing without sacrificing accuracy, yielding higher productivity as well as better control over material shrinkage during the build process. 3Dent™ features a build speed of up to 10mm/hour for the full build envelope, making it at least two times faster than any competitive product on the market today. A simple user interface with a built-in touch screen makes 3Dent™ the perfect addition to any dental lab ready to digitally transform its workflow.
