IntroducingCARA PRINT 4.0

Developed for dental professionals – by your dental experts at Kulzer. But what exactly sets cara Print 4.0 apart from all the other 3D printers on the market?

cara Print 4.0 is a 3D printer that produces monochrome dental appliances, layer by layer, using a high-quality photopolymer. The printer delivers precise restorations both faster and more economically than other printers on the market.

Finally, a fast 3D printer that meets all the accuracy requirements for polymer-based dental appliances.

Quick and easy: Most appliances print in 1 hour or less.

3D-DLP technology—for accurate appliances that fit perfectly.

More cost-effective than most 3D printers.

Open STL files work with most CAD programs, such as 3Shape and Exocad.

Overview

Quick & easy Thanks to a user-friendly interface, both beginners and those experienced in CAD/ CAMcanbenefitfromthe production speed of cara Print 4.0.

Precise & accurate cara Print 4.0 results in smoother, more homogeneous surfaces than competing 3D printers. The exceptional precision in the z-axis and thefinelytunedparameters for each material mean that dental professionals can position appliances in almost any direction – and always achievetheperfectfit.

Universal solution for polymer restorations Due to the size of the material tray and exceptional 3D accuracy, cara Print 4.0 can be used for the production of polymer-based dental appliances.

Economical Additive manufacturing process means minimal waste compared to milling. Long-lasting resin tray, rather than disposable. Refillsystemrather than cartridges that require care in cleaning.

DigitalWorkflowA comprehensive, yet open digital workflow

The cara system for 3D printing is open, workingwithopenSTLfilescommonlyused by CAD programs, such as 3Shape Dental Designer. cara Print CAM software is included with the purchase of cara Print 4.0, with no hidden licensing fees.

Use cara Print 4.0 together with Kulzer’s own dima© Print materials, followed by cleaning in cara Print Clean, and post-curing in the HiLite® Power 3D. Doing so ensures the highest quality results and guaranteed clinical performance.

Accelerate your production, maintain qualitycara Print 4.0 allows you to accelerate the production of high quality polymer-based dental applications. Withanx-yresolutionof53.6μmandavariablelayerthickness(i.e.zaxisresolution)of30–150μm,youcan quickly achieve the accuracy requirements for all polymer-based restorations at building speeds averaging more than 50mm an hour (at 50 µm slice thickness).

Digital Light Projection (DLP) vs. Laser (SLA)Digital Light Projection makes cara Print 4.0 quicker, more economical and more accurate than laser-based systems. Laser-based photopolymer 3D printers have to ‘trace’ each pixel of each layer, point for point, line for line. With its DLP technology, however, cara Print4.0canprojectanentirelayerinasingleflashandachieveafinerlevelofdetailthanwithlaser.

Testimonials

“The fact that the cara Print 4.0 lets us deliver finishedappliances,impressiontrays,guides,models, and more at least one day faster than an SLA printer is a huge competitive advantage for us.

It results not only in happier customers, but more customers as well.”

Dan Becker, Owner/CEOBecker Dental Lab (20 person lab)

“I considered the popular cheaper printer, but every other dental professional I talked to told mehowlonganddifficulttheprintingprocesswas. One larger, more expensive printer would not be as versatile as two cara Prints.

The efficiency of that printer and the expert support that Kulzer provides with it have helped my laboratory grow in so many ways.”

David Jackson, OwnerMid-South Dental Lab (14 person lab)

“The most important benefit is its speed and how little time is required to print a model.

This is important because we prefer to print the model while the patient is stillintheofficesowecanverifyit.Support from the manufacturer is as important as the product—this printer is backed by incredible service.”

Dr. Gary Kaye, FounderKaye Dentistry PLLC.
