With so many different 3D printing dental materials available, it can be hard to keep track of and understand the use cases for each one. What are the advantages of mixed materials and mixed trays compared to a specialized, single-material print functionality?
Biocompatible Dental Materials

Mixed Tray Printing
One advantage of the J5 DentaJet is that users can print several of these biocompatible materials on the same tray, mixing different applications on the same print. You don’t need to schedule different trays to different printers or change materials, and you don’t need to worry about balancing load between different applications. Whatever part you receive, the printer has a suitable material for it.
