At eye level with Marilyn Monroe: the new 3D printer Sheraprint 50

What do Marilyn Monroe and the new 3D printer Sheraprint 50 have in common? 166 centimeters tall. While the film star shone in the spotlight, Sheraprint 50 shines with a long-lasting LED and lots of printing power. The DLP printer is designed for professional use in dental technology, for example when it comes to the mass production of models. It works quickly and precisely to an accuracy of 30 micrometers. The projector's resolution is big cinema and corresponds to 4K or 3840 by 2160 pixels. To ensure that the printer remains permanently precise, it is regularly calibrated (Certified Auto-Calibration). A heated interior ensures consistent printing processes - regardless of fluctuating room temperatures in the laboratory environment, for example at night or on weekends.

Print large quantities overnight

While movie stars need their beauty sleep, Sheraprint 50 continues printing at night. The material tray is automatically filled with the desired printing resin. The printer also recognizes that the correct printing material is being used via an RFID chip on the resin bottles.

New peeling function

Sheraprint 50 includes the patented Automatic Separation Module (ASM): This automatically separates finished print objects from the construction platform. They then fall into a storage basket and are stored there in a protected manner until they are processed further.

XXL construction platform

The heart of Sheraprint 50 is the printer's large build space. The area of ​​the build platform is 231 by 130 millimeters. For example, up to ten aligner models can be printed flat on it at the same time. The printing time depends on the height of the print objects, not on their number.

Full speed with force feedback technology

Sheraprint printers are equipped with the patented Force Feedback Technology (FFT). The printer's software calculates the pulling force that must be used to control the construction platform for each layer to be polymerized and reports as soon as the print object has detached from the tank bottom. The next print layer is then started immediately without wasting any "waiting time". In this way, the system always achieves the fastest possible processing and very precise printing. Other printers usually work with constant forces. This makes these printers slower. In the Sheraprint, on the other hand, solid and thin areas with different pulling forces are taken into account.

Little space required – huge performance

The footprint of the printer is 60 by 57 centimeters. The mass production of models therefore requires about as much space as half a bath towel. The operation is intuitive via a 10-inch touch screen. All Sheraprint printers are LAN/WLAN capable, but can also be equipped via USB.

Great support

To Sheraprint not only the Rapidshape based printer itself, but also the support from the Sheradigital team. Experience shows how important a coordinated, validated process is in 3D printing. The Sheradigital team has determined optimal printing parameters and coordinated printing plastics. Support includes valuable tips on printing strategy, post-processing and the sensible integration of 3D printing into the dental workflow. Printing specialists with dental training are available to answer questions directly. When setting up the printers, a one-day introduction is given so that handling, process safety and reliable printing results can be practiced in the laboratory.
