3D SYSTEMS TO STRENGTHEN ITS DIGITAL DENTISTRY PORTFOLIO
3D Systems has introduced two new materials: NextDent Base and NextDent Cast, and a new printer platform, NextDent LCD1, to accelerate the adoption of digital dentistry.

3D Systems recently announced innovations to strengthen its industry-leading digital dentistry portfolio: new materials, NextDent Base and NextDent Cast, and a new printing platform, the NextDent LCD1. These offerings help the company’s customers accelerate the adoption of additive manufacturing as part of their workflows, and drive new levels of speed, productivity, efficiency, and precision while also providing opportunities to improve the patient experience.
New Materials
3D Systems offers the industry’s broadest portfolio of dental 3D printing materials enabling dental laboratories and clinics to address a wide range of applications such as trays, orthodontic and prosthodontic models, surgical guides, dentures, orthodontic splints, crowns, and bridges.
- NextDent Base is suitable for printing all types of removable denture bases and will provide patients with long-lasting, impact-resistant dentures.
- NextDent Cast is a residue-free, easy burn-out 3D printing material suited for a variety of applications including RPDs, crowns, and bridges.

NextDent LCD1 Makes Digital Dentistry More Accessible for Clinicians
The NextDent LCD1 is a smaller-footprint, easy-to-use printer designed to deliver high-quality results. The compact footprint combined with simple touchscreen operation makes this an ideal printer for use in small office environments where the production volumes may be less demanding. The NextDent LCD1 uses LCD technology and features auto-calibration to deliver parts with a very smooth surface finish, 3X faster than is possible with stereolithography (SLA) printers.
When combined with the company’s resins and new NextDent Wash & Cure for post-processing, clinicians have an easy-to-use workflow that delivers high-quality results. The NextDent LCD1 is available for immediate ordering.
3D Systems will showcase its full portfolio of digital dentistry solutions, including these latest innovations, in its booth (Hall 3.1, Booth K010/L010) at IDS 2023, March 14-18 at Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany.
