ASIGA launches new 3D printers and materials at IDS 2019 in Germany

Australian 3D printer manufacturer, ASIGA, is a global success story and nowhere is that more evident than on the floor of IDS 2019 where their range was literally everywhere. For the world's biggest and best dental exhibition, ASIGA debuted new, larger 3D printers designed for dental manufacturing, plus a complete new range of dental 3D printing materials.

From entry level 3D printing through to volume digital manufacturing, ASIGA's new range of 3D printers and materials offer print repeatability and consistency. All Asiga 3D printers come equipped with its industry proven Process Monitoring Technologies (SPS™) for quality assurance and production continuity.

New MAX LCD

Adapting the latest LCD technology and combining this with its proven SPS Process Monitoring Technologies, the new MAX LCD is an accurate and affordable entry into 3D printing.

It is designed for ease of use and seamless productivity with single point calibration, single handed print removal and a touch screen user interface. Materials can be switched in less than 30 seconds with no calibration required. Any suitable 3D printing materials can be used.

Asiga's unique SPS process guarantees every layer is formed accurately, with accurate layer formation the key to achieving consistently accurate results in any production environment.

New PRO HD

The PRO HD is a large format 3D printer presented with all the latest process monitoring technologies that are vital for production accuracy and continuity including an ultra-fast print mode option. The PRO HD combines proven industry-leading precision and a large build envelope with high-speed print capabilities. Control is via a simple user interface touch screen display or remotely using a web interface. It is available in 385nm UV (for printing water-clear materials) or 405nm UV.

New PRO 4K

The new, top-of-the-range PRO 4K utilises the latest DLP imaging technology to achieve the largest print envelope in the ASIGA range and also includes an ultra-fast print mode option for volume production in minimal time.

MAX and MAX UV

The MAX and MAX UV remain the stalwarts of the ASIGA range and are now more affordable than ever. The Asiga MAX is the world's most advanced lab 3D printer offering exceptional productivity in a small footprint with 62µm print precision optimised for both dental and clinic environments. It is ideal for manufacturing dental orthodontics, crown and bridge, surgical guides, dental models, custom trays and partial dentures.
