ZIPRO Bio-Ceramic 3D Printer
The ZIPRO Bio-Ceramic 3D Printer delivers high precision and accuracy (1920x 1080 FHD). A 7.0 inch Full Touch Panel in front makes it user-friendly, and the printer features a UV Light Intensity Control so you can easily control zirconia slurry and the high intensity of radiation. Other benefits include online service, easy data transfer, and low management cost since there is no need to change the slurry tank or film. INNI-CERA zirconia features high strength and esthetics, along with optimal shrinkage conditions and biocompatibility, and is A2-shade colored to provide a natural-looking base before further staining to match the patient’s natural discoloration.
Why this 3D printer is worth a look:
With the user-friendly ZIPROS slicing software, it is easy to make placement of the restoration supporters with the click of the mouse. The software includes an easy interface, a real-time status bar, intuitive slicing layer analysis, and the supporter placement system is automatically optimized. The ZIPRO 3D printer is capable of precisely producing objects regardless of whether they have a groove or hex or other slopes or degrees. According to AON, crowns, bridges and abutments can be printed in 90 minutes, with copings and veneers printed in an hour.

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.
