The world is changing faster than ever. Fuelled by rapid technological advances. One of the most dynamic fields is 3D printing. NextDent by 3D Systems is leading in this exciting new 3D printing innovation, for dental technology and dental care industries.

You are without a doubt familiar with the unlimited opportunities offered by 3D printing. The good news is that dental care professionals now also get to benefit from this technology! Thanks to our CE-certified and biocompatible materials. These materials allow you to print trays, models, drilling templates, and temporary crowns and bridges. And growing, as NextDent adds new materials for dental technology and dental care industries to its range regularly.

Revolutionize your business

The NextDent^® 5100 3D Printer powered by revolutionary Figure 4^® technology combined with NextDent’s broad portfolio of dental materials addresses multiple indications, resulting in unparalleled speed, accuracy, repeatability, productivity, and total cost of operation.

The NextDent^® 5100 facilitates high-speed 3D printing for production of dental appliances and sacrificial castings. This revolutionary solution features an industry-defining value proposition that combines best-in-class speed and performance at a price point that is accessible to virtually all labs and clinics.

Transforming dental workflows

The range of dental materials, advanced print technology and compatibility with leading dental software is transforming dental workflows, enabling dental labs and clinics to produce trays, models, surgical guides, dentures, orthodontic splints, crowns and bridges with enhanced speed, precision and efficiency and lower cost.

This small sized Printer-platform using LCD technology delivers a complete workflow combined with our new NextDent^® Wash & Cure for post processing. This reliable workflow offers an easy-to-use solution for 3D printing with high quality results. For sales information and support on the NextDent^® LCD1, NextDent^® Wash and NextDent^® Cure, please use this link and follow the indicated steps.

Revolutionary UV Post-Curing

The LC-3DPrint Box is a revolutionary UV light box, suitable for post-curing 3D printing materials. The new LC-3DPrint Box is equipped with 12 UV light bulbs strategically placed inside the box. This ensures that a product is illuminated from all sides, which results in a quick and uniform curing cycle. The spacious interior (ø 26 cm, H 19,5 cm) allows you to easily cure multiple products at once. In addition, the box has enough space to place an articulator inside. If necessary, the UV light bulbs can be changed easily.

Obtain excellent material properties

The new LC-3DPrint Box allows you to post-cure NextDent^® dental 3D printing materials. Post-curing is required in order to obtain the final material properties. After the printing process the printed material is not yet fully cured and should be treated. First, the material needs to be cleaned in an alcohol bath followed by the post-curing cycle.

Post-curing is an UV light treatment to ensure that NextDent^® materials obtain full polymer conversion, through this the residual monomer is reduced to a minimum and the highest mechanical properties are obtained. This procedure is a necessary step to produce a biocompatible end-product. Always follow the instructions for use relevant to the corresponding material.

Stirring device for optimum consistency

The LC-3DMixer is a roller/tilting stirring device for mixing 3D printing materials before pouring in the Resin Tray of the printer. Print resins must be mixed well. Only handshaking is insufficient for highly filled and colored materials. The LC-3DMixer should be used to thoroughly mix the material. When mixed insufficiently color deviation and print failures may occur. The NextDent LC-3DMixer keeps your NextDent 3D materials ready for use at any time at an optimum consistency. Always follow the instructions for use relevant to the corresponding material.

Leading Dental Materials for 3D printing

Nextdent B.V. was founded in 2012 in The Netherlands as a subsidiary company under Vertex Global Holding. The aim was to complement the dental materials portfolio of its affiliate Vertex-Dental B.V., which has a 79-year track record in research, development, regulatory and lean production of biocompatible dental materials.

In January 2017, Vertex Global Holding merged with 3D Systems, a company that provides comprehensive 3D products and services, including 3D printers specifically designed for dental applications. Since the merger the unsurpassed NextDent product range is being developed, registered, produced and sold through Vertex-Dental B.V., Soesterberg, The Netherlands.

Our mission

The combination of 3D Systems transforming Figure 4^® 3D printing technology and NextDent’s revolutionary materials will enable us to lead innovation in digital dentistry. We will leverage the unique opportunity to integrate our advanced materials and automated print workflows into transformative digital production solutions delivered to the dental practice and laboratory.

Users of these solutions are able to produce trays, models, drilling templates, dentures, orthodontic splints, crowns and bridges with enhanced speed, precision and efficiency and lower cost compared to conventional procedures.

Unique portfolio of 3D printing materials

So what makes NextDent unique? It’s the sheer choice you have in dental 3D printable materials, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Our materials for medical devices are biocompatible and CE certified in accordance with Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC, listed at FDA, and registered in various other countries. We offer materials in a spectrum of colours, depending on the daily use and the preferences of our customer.

Experience you can count on

3D Systems has leveraged its 30 years of 3D printing experience in for the development of a number of dental 3D printers that offer high precision and detail resolution. They are used for the processing of different dental materials, from metal (CoCrMo alloy) to biocompatible resins. Our dental solutions are designed for use in dental laboratories, making production methods faster, easier and more effective.
