                           Planmeca Creo™ is our new precise 3D printer for creating
                           a wide range of indications. It is the perfect tool for dental
                           labs and large clinics aiming to expand their production
                           capabilities and increase efficiency.

                           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 Romexis®

                           all-in-one software is in the works. The Planmeca Romexis® Clinic

                           Management module will also support Planmeca Creo in the future.

                           This will enable efficient remote monitoring of ongoing printing jobs

                           and their estimated completion

                           times.                             Indications:
