At the International Dental Show in Cologne, Germany, this week, Prodways is presenting its next-generation 3D printers—the ProMaker LD series range. 

With the strengths of Prodways' exclusive MOVINGLight® technology, this new line combines a native resolutions of 42 µm per pixel and very high dimensional precision on all 3 axes, along with high productivity through its moving DLP®, making it possible to print up to 38 dental arches per hour on certain model printers at an optimal unit cost.

In order to adapt to a dental market in constant search for versatility and flexibility, this next generation of 3D printers—the ProMaker LD series—will offer a compact design, taking up less than 0.8 m² of floor space, with interchangeable production platforms of several sizes ranging from 165 x 150 mm to 450 x 445 mm, in order to fit into all environments. This choice of platforms meets the need to adapt to different production volumes, which may vary according to applications or over time, and makes it possible to optimise production times for small or medium-size runs.

The new ProMaker LD series range will also offer vats of various heights to reduce the amount of resin required for each application, with changes of vats and printing medium taking only a few minutes. Furthermore, it will feature a new user-friendly software interface, making it quick and easy to learn how to operate, as well as a built-in touch screen to control the production process.

The ProMaker LD-10—the first of three models in the LD series—will be unveiled in a world premiere at the IDS and will be available at the end of the year.
