Asiga can now offer the formulation to thousands of dental labs and practices that use its 3D printers in the United States, United Kingdom, European Economic Area, and Canada.

Flexcera Smile Ultra+ delivers lifelike beauty and strong, long-term performance. This proprietary dental resin has been growing since its 2021 launch, delivering 3D printed permanent and temporary restorations, including dentures, crowns, bridges, veneers and more. Flexcera Smile 3D printed denture teeth paired with Flexcera Base for denture bases surpasses the traditional gold standard denture acrylic material in both strength² and beauty.

"We are extremely pleased by the exceptional performance of our Flexcera family of dental resins,” said Lou Azzara, President of Desktop Health. “By expanding access to our world-class solutions, we're empowering dental laboratories and practices with groundbreaking innovations like Flexcera. Asiga, with its extensive high-quality customer network, takes accessibility in the industry to unprecedented heights."

Now validated for a wide range of Asiga dental 3D printers, Flexcera can be printed on both desktop and production models — such as the Max UV, Max 2, Ultra, and Pro 4K. This expansion of hardware systems delivers on the promise of making Flexcera more widely available on other premium, high-powered 385 nm wavelength 3D printers.

“Flexcera is an undeniable leader in the dental market for 3D printed nanoceramics, and we continue to make this popular choice available to other high-powered platforms. We are absolutely delighted to welcome Asiga customers into the Flexcera family,” said Ric Fulop, CEO of Desktop Metal. “Asiga has one of the largest installed bases of DLP printers in both North America and Europe, and we look forward to more customers being able to enjoy the material.”
