RAYSHAPE, a high-precision dental 3D printing solution provider, and Dreve—a German dental materials manufacturer with 75 years of expertise in clinical-grade restorative materials—recently confirmed compatibility between Dreve's FotoDent® series resins and the RAYSHAPE Edge E2 LCD dental 3D printer. This collaboration delivers a seamless, clinically reliable workflow for dental laboratories and clinics, ensuring consistent high-quality results across core dental restorative and therapeutic applications.
The RAYSHAPE Edge E2 is ideal for dental users pursuing digital transformation. Equipped with a 9.25-inch 6K black-and-white LCD screen, it supports diverse dental applications—orthodontics, dental implants, removable dentures, temporary teeth, and occlusal pads(https://www.rayshape3d.com/3d-printers/edge-e2/). With a small footprint, it offers sub-50-μm dimensional accuracy, industry-leading throughput (up to 40 surgical guides per print), and an open-material ecosystem tailored to high-demand clinical workflows. Dreve, a pioneer in dental materials science, offers the FotoDent® series: clinical-grade photopolymer resins optimized for biocompatibility, dimensional stability, and digital dental workflow efficiency.(https://www.planmeca.com/news-and-events/newsroom/2021/new-printing-materials-available-for-planmeca-creo-c5/)
After rigorous testing and clinical validation, the following FotoDent® resins are fully compatible with the RAYSHAPE Edge E2:
FotoDent® model2: For high-precision dental study models and clear aligner positioning models, ensuring high-fidelity detail reproduction.
FotoDent® guide: Class I biocompatible resin, purpose-built for dental surgical guides with robust mechanical integrity and consistent dimensional precision.
FotoDent® IBT: Transparent resin for dental indirect bonding trays, enabling precise seating of orthodontic brackets.
FotoDent® tray: Versatile resin for custom dental impression trays, available in multiple hues for varied clinical needs.
FotoDent® Splint: Flexible, wear-resistant resin for dental orthodontic splints and occlusal stabilization guards, prioritizing patient comfort and durability.
FotoDent® Cast: Optimized for lost-wax casting models, facilitating dental metal restoration fabrication.
FotoDent® gingiva: Gingival-mimetic resin for denture base components, matching natural soft tissue texture and color.
FotoDent® Setup: For full-denture try-in models, streamlining occlusal adjustment and aesthetic evaluation.
This validated compatibility eliminates time-consuming material parameter calibration, allowing dental professionals to optimize digital workflows while meeting strict clinical standards. Combining RAYSHAPE’s space-efficient, 6K-screen Edge E2 with Dreve’s 75-year-proven resins provides users an end-to-end solution balancing efficiency, precision, and clinical reliability.
“We are thrilled to partner with Dreve—a global leader in dental materials with 75 years of expertise—to expand our open-material ecosystem,” said Bill, CEO of RAYSHAPE. “This collaboration lets our users leverage Dreve's clinically validated FotoDent® resins on the Edge E2, delivering consistent, clinical-grade restorative printing outcomes.”
