A Robust 3D Printing Solution for Orthodontics

The groundbreaking Carbon Digital Light Synthesis (Carbon DLS) 3D printing process is transforming the way orthodontic models and appliances are produced in labs today. Fast print speeds, production-grade hardware, and efficient workflows are helping labs produce accurate parts consistently, reliably, and profitably.
