Resin
Dental Resin
Biocompatible resin formulated for dental models, surgical guides and splints.
Dental resins are precision-engineered for dental labs — high dimensional accuracy, low shrinkage and (for some grades) biocompatibility for intraoral use. Used for models, surgical guides, crowns and splints. Requires a calibrated resin printer and correct post-cure.

Print tips
Follow manufacturer post-cure exactly — biocompatibility depends on full cure. Wash in IPA, cure per spec. Wear gloves.
Safety & food contact
Biocompatibility requires full post-cure per manufacturer; uncured resin is a skin irritant.
Food contact: Select grades are biocompatible for intraoral use; verify certification.
