New 3D Printing Solutions from VOXELTEK for Digital Dentistry

The Hungarian company VOXELTEK has introduced two new 3D printing solutions for dentistry: the “Smilemaker” Clear Aligner Printer and the upgraded version of the VOXELTEK Mark IV. Both systems are designed to increase efficiency in dental clinics and laboratories while further optimizing digital workflows.

The production of clear aligners is one of the fastest-growing sectors in dentistry. The market for these transparent dental appliances is expected to grow from $4.66 billion to $28 billion by 2032. Traditionally, manufacturing clear aligners requires multiple steps, including 3D printing of models, thermoforming of the aligners, and manual trimming. The “Smilemaker” Clear Aligner Printer integrates these processes into a single system for the first time. The machine combines 3D printing, thermoforming, and laser trimming, enabling fully automated production without manual post-processing. With a compact size of approximately 80×30 cm, the device is designed for direct use in dental clinics and orthodontic offices. Additionally, VOXELTEK.live offers CAD design services to further streamline digital workflows for orthodontists.

In addition to the “Smilemaker”, VOXELTEK has introduced an updated version of the VOXELTEK Mark IV. The new “FlashPrint” model combines a 3D printer with an integrated post-curing chamber for the polymerization of biocompatible resins. The compact design remains unchanged, making it particularly suitable for dental clinics that want to produce chairside restorations on-site. This reduces production times for dental prosthetics and orthodontic applications without compromising material quality.

These new systems will be presented to a broad professional audience for the first time at the International Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne on March 25, 2025. In addition to these new printing solutions, VOXELTEK will showcase other advancements in digital dentistry, including the VOXELTEK.live platform, which enables seamless integration of hardware and materials into digital workflows, and the VOXEL.IOS intraoral scanner, which delivers high-precision scans for diagnostics and treatment planning. IDS attendees will have the opportunity to explore these new systems at Hall 3.1, Booth K080, and learn more about digital manufacturing solutions in dentistry.
