Sirona Selects 3D Systems InVision DP 3D Modeler
 ROCK
HILL,
SC, Feb 29, 2008 - 3D Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: TDSC), a leading provider of
3D Modeling, Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing solutions, has
announced that Sirona Dental Systems, Inc., a pioneer in digital
dentistry and a leading producer of dental CAD/CAM systems, has chosen
its InVision DP (Dental Professional) 3D Modeler to launch Sirona’s new
infiniDent wax pattern service.
After extensive research and testing with the 3D Printer, Sirona has
announced plans to use 3D Systems’ InVision DP 3D Modeler to fabricate
inCoris WAX patterns as part of Sirona’s infiniDent service beginning in
March 2008. The new inCoris WAX patterns are used by dental technicians
who want fast, consistent and economical fabrication of full cast
crowns, copings and bridge frameworks as well as full contour units for
press ceramics or over metal and pure zirconium oxide (ZrO2)
substructures.
3D Systems’ InVision DP (Dental Professional) 3D Modeler and new ProJet
DP 3000 3D Production System accurately, consistently and economically
manufacture precision wax-ups. A dental professional scans a model, designs
a virtual wax-up using 3D software, then sends the data to the InVision or
ProJet modelers to "print" wax-ups in layers; these systems can generate
hundreds of units in each cycle. With built-in VisiJet DP 200 Material, the
wax-ups have a smooth surface finish and can be cast or pressed with
conventional techniques.
"The introduction of inCoris WAX vastly increases infiniDent’s service
offering for existing inLab and inEos users and provides them with more
access to more materials," said Marcus Meier, MDT, manager of infiniDent.
"We are convinced that dental laboratories utilizing these wax patterns will
substantially increase their efficiencies when fabricating wax-patterns
through infiniDent."
"We are very pleased that a world-class dental player like Sirona
selected our dental professional production system," said Abe Reichental, 3D
Systems’ president and chief executive officer. "We believe that digital
dentistry applications represent a significant growth opportunity for our
company and expect to broaden our presence in this space with additional
Additive Manufacturing solutions for dental labs."
