Common resin print applications
- [Man] Resin prints are being used in many applications where detail and precision are key. Some resins can also withstand high or low temperatures that would destroy a filament-based print. - [Woman] Resin printing has made major inroads into dentistry. Dentistry is an ideal application for resin 3D printing since every piece is customized, and fine detail is important. Resin printing is commonly used to replace plastic casting. In the past, a patient bit down into molding material, and then a plaster cast was formed from that mold. Now the patient's teeth are scanned, and a 3D print is created from the scan. In the simplest application, this scan is used instead of a plastic cast, and the rest of the dental process continues as before. For other procedures such as making orthodontic appliances, the scan is used as a starting point. Specialized software is used to design a final state of the patient's teeth, and…
