The new printing systems set a new standard in flexibility and versatility, as they can print on both roll media and boards. With a unique multiroll option for the P5 350/210, users can even load rolls during printing to reduce setup times and increase efficiency. The printing systems are equipped with energy-efficient LED technology and are supplied with integrated Durst Workflow Print software and the monitoring tool Durst Analytics. Both print systems offer the highest print quality of up to 1200 dpi, multi-track options for up to 6 parallel boards, automatic media width and thickness detection, foldable and smooth-running roller tables and a secure ink refill system. Both printing systems can be equipped with peripheral systems for ¾ automation or full automation.

P5 250/200 HS – the new productivity

With the further development of the HS-Series, the P5 portfolio offers two industrial printing systems with print widths of up to 2.5 m. The P5 250 HS and P5 200 HS feature MEMS printhead technology and achieve with 5pl highest print quality at print speeds of up to 600 m²/h. The printing systems can also print on roll media and boards and also enable sensor-controlled double-sided printing on roll media. The printing systems are also supplied with the integrated Durst Worflow Print software and the monitoring tool Durst Analytics. In addition to the highest print quality of up to 1,200 dpi, the printing systems offer dualtrack options for boards and a secure ink refill system and can be equipped with peripheral systems for ¾ automation or full automation.

EnvisionTEC and uLab Systems Team Up to Simplify Digital Orthodontics With Integrated Solution

EnvisionTEC, a leading global manufacturer of desktop and full-production 3D printers and materials, and uLab Systems, a creator of aligner planning software, are proud to announce a strategic partnership to simplify aligner planning and production for orthodontic professionals. Both companies will be exhibiting at the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) 119th Annual Session and will be offering an exclusive hardware and software bundle to celebrate their collaboration.

uLab software imports patient 3D digital scans and allows orthodontists to develop a movement plan chairside in as little as 10 minutes.   The software then exports a file to 3D print a dental model to create aligner trays and retainers.

uLab originally validated EnvisionTEC’s Vida and Micro XL 3D printers in early 2018 and worked closely with EnvisionTEC to validate EnvisionTEC’s now best-selling 3D printer, the Envision One cDLM prior to its release at the beginning of this year.

“We were attracted to the speed and ease of use of the Envision One,” said Charlie Wen, Chief Technological Officer and President of uLab Systems, “It will allow our customers the ability to easily transfer their cases directly to a powerful 3D printing solution capable of printing 6 horseshoe arches for clear aligners in 15 minutes. Providing the highest quality patient care is now faster and more streamlined.”

The two companies went beyond the validation and worked on simplifying the integration, including a one-touch functionality that will allow clinicians to move from the planning software directly to the 3D printer with the touch of a button.  Scheduled for an upcoming software update, this one-touch integration will complement the Envision One’s user-friendly interface.

​​​​​​​“From the very earliest development plans for the Envision One, our goal was to make fast production effortless,” said Al Siblani, Chief Executive Officer of EnvisionTEC. “The Envision One has an exceptionally friendly UI, but without an equally friendly treatment planning software, adoption was still limited to those orthodontists already familiar with digital orthodontics.  This collaboration allows for an intuitive experience throughout the entire process and we are excited to see what this means for the orthodontic industry as a whole.”
