Flexcera™ Printing Materials

Desktop Health with ETEC brings the most advanced 3D technology and proprietary materials right to dental offices and labs, enabling you to be at the forefront of digital dentistry. ETEC’s dental technology is now a part of Desktop Health.

One of the recent pioneering solutions is Flexcera™ – a proprietary material technology for 3D printing. It is compatible with multiple ETEC 3D printers and is used for the fabrication of beautiful, functional dentures.

Flexcera™ Base and Flexcera™ Smile harness the strength of ceramics coupled with the flexibility of plastic. As a result, the printed dentures have high resistance to fracture and moisture.

This material is cured with light to fabricate solid, removable denture bases. Flexcera™ Base is used to produce artificial denture bases and prostheses in dental laboratories. This material is used to print high-impact artificial teeth with variable translucency for dentures. Combined with a denture base, teeth produced with Flexcera™ Smile ensure esthetics and personalization for patients.

Prepare Dentures

While ETEC makes the production process for dentures easy, some preparation is required prior to fabrication. One of the most important preliminary steps is to create an accurate dental scan.

See the article scanning for dentures for more details and recommendations.

Material Handling

To ensure the best possible quality of printed parts, it is highly important to handle materials properly. Everything, starting from the storage conditions for materials to the maintenance of material trays, makes sense.

After having printed a detail, it is crucial to follow the guidelines for the Instructions for Use depending on the material.
