Before & After
Before
AfterWhy ODYX?
- Faster SeriesPrint models in-house as staging advances.
- Cusp FidelitySharp models improve thermoform fit.
- Open SoftwareExport STL stages from your aligner suite.
- Lower Cost/UnitBatch printing reduces per-aligner overhead.
Printing Parameters (P1-26)
| Layer Thickness | 50 – 100 μm |
|---|---|
| Exposure Time | 1.8 – 2.4 s |
| Bottom Exposure | 20 – 28 s |
| Bottom Layers | 4 – 5 |
| Build Plate Temp. | 28 – 32 °C |
| Resin | Model Resin |
Clinical Tips
- Nest models efficiently to maximize build plate use.
- Fully dry models before thermoforming sheets.
- Inspect attachments on each staging model.
- Label stages clearly to avoid sequence errors.
Real Case
20-stage aligner series. Models printed in two overnight batches.
