Key Benefits for the Modern Clinic

Accelerate Clinic Throughput

Significantly reduce labor time and increase your practice's capacity. Formlabs Custom Tray Resin is designed for speed, printing full impression trays at a 200-micron layer height. This rapid production capability allows you to attend to more patients each day without sacrificing the precision or quality of the final tray, making it an essential tool for any high-volume practice.

Achieve Flawless Digital Accuracy

Adopt a fully digital process to achieve perfect, repeatable outcomes. This material guarantees the creation of consistently precise, patient-matched trays, which are essential for high-quality dentistry. The resin's stability and accuracy ensure that every impression serves as a reliable foundation for crowns, bridges, implants, and other complex restorative procedures.

Perfectly Adapted for Any Patient

Confidently manage even the most complex dental anatomies. This resin allows you to manufacture custom-fitting impression trays that perfectly capture every detail of a patient's oral structure. This results in the creation of superior definitive models, which in turn ensures an ideal fit for the final restorations and greatly improves patient comfort and satisfaction.

Step-by-Step Workflow Guide

Follow this detailed guide to integrate Formlabs Custom Tray Resin into your digital workflow and ensure consistent, high-quality results for every patient.

Required Equipment and Software

The process begins with a digital record of the patient's dentition and requires the following:

Hardware and Materials:

• Formlabs Form 2, Form 3B, or newer SLA 3D printer
• A compatible Resin Tank (e.g., Form 2 Resin Tank LT, Form 3 Resin Tank v2 or higher)
• Build Platform
• Formlabs Custom Tray Resin
• Form Wash
• Form Cure
• Finishing Kit or secondary wash station
• Desktop 3D scanner (for physical impressions)
• Low-speed dental handpiece with appropriate cutting/finishing wheels
• Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) with ≥ 99% purity

Software:

• Formlabs PreForm Software (v3.6.1 or later)
• Printer Firmware (v1.7.3 or later)
• Dental CAD software (e.g., 3Shape, ZirkonZahn.Tray) or a design service partner

Step 1: Scan

Capture a digital impression of the patient's anatomy, which will serve as the foundation for your tray design. This can be done by scanning the patient directly with an intraoral 3D scanner or by scanning a physical PVS impression or stone model with a desktop 3D scanner.

Step 2: Design the Custom Tray

Using your preferred dental CAD software, design the custom impression tray. Key design parameters include a minimum wall thickness of 2 mm and a handle thickness of at least 3 mm. For use with heavy body impression materials, it is recommended to incorporate 3 mm diameter retention holes. After finalizing the design, export it as an STL file.

Step 3: Print

Import the STL file into the PreForm software. Choose "Custom Tray" as the material and select a 200-micron layer height for the fastest print speed. Orient the tray with its intaglio surface facing away from the build platform to minimize support structures on critical surfaces. Use automatic support generation or add them manually. After setup, shake the resin cartridge, load it into the printer with a build platform and a compatible tank, and start the print.

Important: To maintain biocompatibility and prevent cross-contamination, Custom Tray Resin requires the use of a dedicated resin tank and build platform. This tank should only be used with other Formlabs biocompatible resins, such as Surgical Guide Resin.

Step 4: Post-Process

After printing is complete, follow these steps meticulously:

1. Remove Parts: While wearing gloves, carefully detach the printed trays from the build platform with a removal tool.
2. Wash: Submerge the parts in a Form Wash containing IPA (≥99%) and run a 10-minute wash cycle. Do not exceed this duration to maintain dimensional accuracy.
3. Dry: Take the parts out of the IPA and allow them to air dry for at least 30 minutes. You can use compressed air to expedite this. Ensure no liquid resin or alcohol remains.
4. Post-Cure: For optimal mechanical properties and full biocompatibility, place the clean, dry parts in a Form Cure and cure them at 60°C for 30 minutes.
5. Remove Supports: Use a cutting disk on a handpiece to carefully remove the support structures. Avoid pulling or ripping them off to prevent surface damage.
6. Finish and Polish: Use a carbide rotary tool to smooth any marks left by the supports, ensuring patient comfort. For a high-gloss finish, you can polish the tray using standard dental acrylic polishing techniques.

Step 5: Clean and Disinfect

Before use in a clinical setting, clean the finished tray with a soft toothbrush, neutral soap, and water. Inspect it for any cracks. Disinfect the tray based on your facility's protocols. A validated method involves soaking the tray in fresh 70% IPA for 5 minutes. Do not exceed this time. Inspect the tray's integrity again after disinfection.

Note: IPA disinfection is not compatible with Impregum polyether impression materials. Alternative disinfection methods must be validated by their respective manufacturers.
