for manufacturing and repairing of 3D printing full and partial temporary removable dentures and baseplates. dima Print Denture
Base material is a Class II medical device material. dima Print Denture Base material shall be used in combination with cara
Print 4.0.
2. Intended use
dima Print Denture Base is a light-curable resin indicated for fabrication and repair of full and partial removable dentures and
baseplates. The material is an alternative to traditional heat-curable and auto polymerizing resins. Fabrication of dental
prosthetics with dima Print Denture Base requires a computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system that includes
the following components: digital denture base files, based on a digital scan of an impression, digital light projection printer
(cara Print 4.0) and curing light equipment (HiLite Power 3D).
3. Special manufacturing requirements
3.1 Digital denture file;
a. STL format file
b. Digital design
c. File size: less than 100mb (each file)
