Planmeca Creo™
New possibilities
with 3D printing
PLANMECA CREO™ is a versatile 3D printer for creating dental
models and surgical guides with true precision and efficiency.
In the near future, the device will also support the creation of
other dental objects of intricate detail, such as dental splints.
“3D printing is the way of the future, as it permits labs
and larger clinics to expand their production capabilities and
increase efficiency,” says Jukka Kanerva, Vice President of
Planmeca’s Dental care units & CAD/CAM division.
Planmeca Creo uses DLP technology which stands for Digital
Light Processing. This means it is a light-curing 3D printer that
utilises a digital projector as a light source – the main benefit
being that printing times are not affected by the number of
models printed. The projector will cure the entire print area
(130 x 81.5 mm) with the same effort.
Planmeca Creo creates objects out of UV curable resin.
The 3D printer's surgical guide material is a Class 1 medical
material and has been approved for use in contact with soft
tissue, bone, and blood. The contact is restricted to under
30 days.
The printer has its own dedicated software which is
included as part of all deliveries. Integration with the Planmeca
