The new inCoris WAX patterns areused by dental technicians who want fast, consistent andeconomical fabrication of full cast crowns, copings andbridge frameworks as well as full contour units for pressceramics or over metal and pure zirconium oxide (ZrO2)substructures.3D Systems’ InVision® DP (Dental Professional) 3-DModeler and new ProJet DP 3000 3-D Production Systemaccurately, consistently and economically manufactureprecision wax-ups. A dental professional scans a model,designs a virtual wax-up using 3-D software, then sends thedata to the InVision® or ProJet modelers to “print” wax-upsin layers; these systems can generate hundreds of units ineach cycle. With built-in VisiJet® DP 200 Material, the waxupshave a smooth surface finish and can be cast or pressedwith conventional techniques.“The introduction of inCoris WAXvastly increases infiniDent’sservice offering for existing inLaband inEos users and providesthem with more access to morematerials,” said Marcus Meier,MDT, manager of infiniDent. “Weare convinced that dentallaboratories utilizing these waxpatterns will substantially increasetheir efficiencies when fabricating waxpatternsthrough infiniDent.”InVision® DP 3-D Modeler“We are very pleased that a world-class dental player likeSirona selected our dental professional production system,”said Abe Reichental, 3D Systems’ president and chiefexecutive officer. “We believe that digital dentistryapplications represent a significant growth opportunity forour company and expect to broaden our presence in thisspace with additional Additive Manufacturing solutions fordental labs.” DADental Asia • March / April 2008 13
