Solidscape affordable solutions have been designed around the needs of small and medium-sized dental labs. With its open architecture design, a Solidscape printer can be readily integrated into a total rapid manufacturing lab system to produce high-precision waxups for casting crowns, bridges, copings and other dental restorations. Ease of use and low cost per waxup make Solidscape an impressive price/performance solution.

The Solidscape preXacto™ Series including the D76®+ and D66®+ printers, are based on an additive technology called Drop-on-Demand (DoD) and employ its SCP™ (Smooth Curvature Printing) technology. Both printers use the proprietary DentaCast® and Indura®Fill materials that leave no residual ash and exhibit no shrinkage during the burnout process, resulting in accurate castings for precision restorations.
