What distinguishes the Form 4B from other Formlabs printers?
The Form 4B is specifically designed for dental and medical applications. It features Formlabs' Low Force Display™ (LFD) technology, enabling rapid print speeds without compromising accuracy. This printer supports a wide range of biocompatible materials, making it ideal for producing high-quality dental models and medical devices.
How fast can the Form 4B print dental models?
The Form 4B offers impressive print speeds. For instance, it can print 11 clear aligner models in just 9 minutes using Fast Model Resin at a 160 μm layer thickness. This efficiency is achieved without sacrificing precision, making it suitable for high-throughput dental practices.
Is the Form 4B compatible with third-party resins?
Yes, the Form 4B supports an Open Material Mode, allowing users to work with third-party 405 nm photopolymer resins. This flexibility enables dental professionals to choose materials that best fit their specific needs and preferences.
What is the accuracy level of prints produced by the Form 4B?
The Form 4B delivers high-precision prints, with 99% of the surface within ±100 μm of the original CAD model. This level of accuracy ensures that dental appliances and models fit precisely, which is crucial for patient care.
What post-processing equipment is recommended for the Form 4B?
For optimal results, it's recommended to use the Form Wash and Form Cure units alongside the Form 4B. These devices automate the cleaning and curing processes, ensuring that printed parts achieve their full mechanical properties and are ready for use in dental applications.
