One of the most important features of the MAX UV is the open materials system. The selection of validated materials that are present on Asiga’s official website is astonishing. An invaluable benefit for me is that I am not obligated to work with Asiga materials only, but can easily try any materials from dozens of manufacturers, allowing me to adapt my material choices to my needs in terms of quality, price, specifications and accessibility on the market.
When it comes to printing my models, I always go with Asiga DentaMODEL for modelling. The accuracy and surface finish are the best I have found on the market. What is even more amazing is that I also successfully use it as burn-out material, and it always gives excellent results, producing a clean burn-out. For surgical guides, I prefer to work with Keystone’s KeyGuide. I love Asiga DentaTOOTH for Shades A1 and A2, and for Shade A3, I prefer to use FREEPRINT temp from DETAX.
In day-to-day use, the stability of the model produced and the precision are also vital. In those parameters, Asiga never fails me. I can easily plan my work when I have no failures in printing and have a guaranteed result. Before final work goes to the patient’s mouth, it looks very aesthetically pleasing on the model. The appearance of models is also very important to dentists. The colour and texture give a clean and professional look.
In the short term, I would like to see 3D printing in general become even faster, as every 10–15 minutes saved is critical to a laboratory. I am also looking forward to seeing more complex materials come to the market, such as a harder PMMA. Fortunately, thanks to Asiga’s open materials system, we will likely have first access to these new resins.
When looking at the horizon of digital dentistry in general, I foresee that we will be in a world of high-end, AI-assisted machines and tools which will produce almost everything in dental laboratories, and the dental technician will be needed for human control and a final touch to give restorations a lifelike appearance.
3D printing should be an easily accessible, precise, professional tool with a guaranteed outcome and not a burden to use. Asiga is my solution for 3D printing.
