Charles Georges, Owner of OC Dental Lab, on the cara Print 4.0 from Kulzer
Going digital has increased my small laboratory's business significantly, so the next step in our growth was to add a 3D printer, with the goal of printing various appliances. We considered a popular low-cost option, but ultimately, we chose to invest in the cara Print 4.0 because of its efficiency, speed, and easy maintenance. The cara Print 4.0 has added production value to my laboratory and almost doubled the amount of cases we were receiving from customers. As my business continues to grow, I foresee the need to add another printer, and this time, the cara Print 4.0 is the only option.
How does the cara Print 4.0 save time?
Despite a smaller build table, it can print four to five models in one-third of the time that other printers can.
How much of a factor is maintenance?
I have heard that other printers require extensive work, but the cara Print 4.0 is virtually maintenance-free.
How else is it financially helpful?
Overall total resin costs are significantly lower for the cara Print 4.0 than for the other printer we considered.
