NextDent 3D Printing Materials for 18 3D Printing Systems

The Printer You Have, The Materials You Need: NextDent 3D Printing Materials for Your Existing Equipment 

Digital dentistry continues to evolve rapidly with new 3D printers, materials, and workflows  entering the market all the time, giving dental labs and clinics more opportunities to improve productivity and expand the services they offer. But adopting new capabilities doesn’t always have to mean investing in new equipment but rather adding better solutions to existing technology. 

With NextDent® 3D printing materials from 3D Systems, labs and clinics may be able to get more from the printers they already have. The NextDent material portfolio is validated across a wide range of dental 3D printing platforms, giving users greater flexibility to access high-quality dental materials without  replacing their existing hardware. 

More Material Choice Across More Printing Platforms 

NextDent materials support a broad range of 3D printed dental applications, including models, trays, surgical guides, orthodontic appliances, dentures, crown and bridge, castings and more. These materials have been validated for use beyond 3D Systems hardware, including 3D printers from Asiga, Phrozen, Formlabs, Prusa, Shining3D, Axtra3D, DMG and RayShape. 

This flexibility can make a meaningful difference for a lab or clinic that has already invested in digital dentistry. Instead of starting with the question, “What new printer do we need?” organizations can first ask, “What more can we do with the equipment we already have?” 

Protect Your Existing Equipment Investment 

A 3D printer represents a significant investment, not only in the hardware itself, but also in training and workflow development. Replacing a working printer simply to gain access to a different material can add unnecessary cost and disruption. 

By validating NextDent materials on a variety of industry-leading dental 3D printers, 3D Systems is helping lower that barrier to adoption. 3D Systems specifically identifies broader printer compatibility as a way for more 3D printing solutions to take advantage of the NextDent material portfolio. 

For labs and clinics, that can mean the opportunity to expand material choices or introduce new applications while continuing to utilize existing equipment. It can also help organizations with multiple printer brands across their operation. A broader material portfolio gives teams the opportunity to evaluate materials based on the application and desired result rather than being limited solely by the name on the front of the printer. 

Quality Without Starting Over 

NextDent brings decades of dental material expertise to digital workflows, with materials designed for applications ranging from highly accurate models and surgical guides to dentures and permanent restorations. The NextDent portfolio includes CE-certified and biocompatible materials developed specifically for dental applications. 

For labs and clinics, this creates an opportunity to pair equipment they already know with materials engineered specifically for dentistry, helping maximize existing investments while continuing to pursue reliable, repeatable results. 

Before purchasing another printer, take a closer look at what your current equipment can already do. With NextDent materials validated across a growing range of 3D printing platforms, the path to a new application, expanded capacity or a more versatile digital workflow may already be sitting in your lab.
