M-Series
Carbon is further evolving its idea-to-production platform with the all new M-Series 3D printers. This next-generation of printers comes in 2 models, the M3 and the M3 Max , that are designed to provide up to 2.5X throughput improvements for dental models compared to previous generations. The printers are designed to provide an advanced end-to-end idea-to-production platform when combined with the Carbon Design EngineTM and Carbon DLS materials. The M3 printers are purpose-built with key features for dental labs such as faster printing, simplified experiences, more consistent parts, fast and easy installation, and a larger build area.
Why these printers can help your lab:
The M3 model is designed for faster printing, a simpler print experience and improved cross-build consistency. The M3 Max offers these same benefits as well as a true 4K light engine, enabling double the build area with the same pixel size and density. Both printers offer the same wide range of high-performance materials tailored for applications across dental and dental lab needs. The M3 is now available for order and shipping and the M3 Max is available for order and is expected to ship in the second half of 2022.
