In line with keeping costs lower and production quality higher and more efficient, EnvisionTEC has just announced the release of a new product called E-Appliance, which is a 3D printing material used for making orthodontic models, and provides what’s most important—durability, strength, along with choices for the customer.

New E-Appliance material by EnvisionTEC

This new 3D printing material works very well for making orthodontic appliances with polyvinyl alcohol based-separators and tin foil substitute for a “salt and pepper technique” of producing an orthodontic appliance. 3D printed models

EnvisionTECconstructed with E-Appliance are promised to be manufactured with quality detail, precision, and an excellent finish. This is combined with a surface that according to EnvisionTEC ‘accepts a wide range of separator mediums for perfect removal of the finished appliance from the model.’

It’s very important to note that this quality material presents the patient with an array of options giving them the opportunity to enjoy a ‘design latitude’ allowing them to express their individuality.

With the use of CAD software, 3D printing, and a wide range of applications available to the dental industry, it’s a changing business that means upgraded dental health for patients due to affordability, better quality all-around, and efficient labs that can operate more independently and rapidly. EnvisionTEC products work with 3Shape, Dental Wings, or any other design software product.
