The fastprint.io 3D Printing Solution functions as a compact, office-ready version of the same LuxCreo hardware and AI-backed software used at Glidewell to create thousands of appliances every year. About the same size as a large microwave, fastprint.io easily fits into any office, allowing doctors to offer more comprehensive treatment options to their patients. The unit pairs seamlessly with the rest of the glidewell.io In-Office Solution suite of products for a smooth and efficient workflow.

“Clinicians are looking for simplified, low-labor workflows,” said Robert Brenneise, senior vice president of sales, marketing and education at Glidewell. “That’s why we’re committed to delivering products that are user-friendly, affordably priced and backed by manufacturer-direct support. With LuxCreo’s mission to simplify sustainable production with additive manufacturing, we found a partner who shares our core value of improving the lives of dentists and their patients through digital innovations that make dentistry easier and more effective.”

With the streamlined process of the fastprint.io 3D Printing Solution, taking control of your restorative 3D printing has never been easier — just confirm design, load, print and finish with minimal post-processing. With a range of resins developed and used by Glidewell, dental professionals can create a wide range of appliances in a smooth, easy workflow. Use TuffSplint™ Appliance Resin to create appliances with high flexural strength and flexural modulus, with a higher efficiency for printing and post-curing than the leading bite splint resin. Glidewell Modeling Resin provides doctors with a durable printing material for models with low volumetric shrinkage. Additional indications, including dentures, retainers and crowns, are currently in development at Glidewell. However, fastprint.io is also compatible with other popular resins available on the market.

The fastprint.io 3D Printing Solution requires minimal post-processing compared to other 3D-printing technologies and can directly print clear appliances with LuxCreo Digital Polishing™. Clear appliances are more desirable because they allow patients to undergo treatment without affecting their esthetics. But fabricating clear appliances is usually a difficult and time-consuming process. After the printing stage the device must be polished several times to achieve a see-through appearance. With fastprint.io, doctors can now make clear, transparent appliances direct from the printer with no manual polishing required with the first FDAclass II, 510(k) cleared direct-print clear aligner workflow. Thanks to the revolutionary additive technology of LuxCreo Digital Polishing, doctors can skip the time, skill, and labor that is usually required for post-processing and deliver reliable results for every patient. 

“One of our primary goals with glidewell.io is to make digital dentistry more accessible and affordable to dentists everywhere,” said Jim Glidewell, founder and president of Glidewell. “By adding fastprint.io, we’re building toward a future where every dentist can control their own restorative workflow — bringing value to the practice and patients alike.”
