Precision Stone is a high-precision SLA 3D printing resin from NextShapes, specifically designed for dental model applications. This material performs exceptionally well in removable mold scenarios for crowns and bridges, providing clear margins, accurate contact points, and consistent fit. It is widely used in dental laboratories and clinical settings.

At NextShapes, we believe one of the core advantages of stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing is its ability to combine high precision with a wide range of material properties. Precision Stone embodies this philosophy—this white dental model 3D resin delivers high forming accuracy, sharp detail, fine textures, strong mechanical properties, hardness, good heat resistance, and dimensional stability. These features help dental professionals consistently achieve 3D printed models with clear margins, precise contacts, and reliable seating, meeting daily production demands for both precision and efficiency.

This article introduces the properties of Precision Stone. It explains how it enhances precision, efficiency, and consistency in digital dentistry, making it an essential material for 3D printing for education and clinical workflows.

High-Precision Model 3D Printing for Diverse Dental Applications

With the rise of digital dentistry, dental laboratories and clinics are demanding higher precision and usability from model materials. From crown and bridge models to orthodontic study models and educational demonstration models, dental professionals increasingly rely on 3D printing to achieve accurate reproduction of detailed anatomical structures. Meanwhile, the widespread adoption of internal digital workflows drives demand for materials that ensure not only printing accuracy but also simplified post-processing.

Precision Stone was developed to meet these needs:

• White dental model 3D resin designed for high-precision models
• Excels in removable mold applications for crowns and bridges
• Offers high forming accuracy, sharp detail, and fine textures
• Clearly reproduces margins and contact points while maintaining a consistent fit
• Formulated for easy cleaning and efficient workflow in dental laboratories

Precision Stone provides multiple advantages within a digital dental workflow:

• Enhanced Precision and Fit: High forming accuracy precisely reproduces margin details and contact points, ensuring more reliable restoration seating. Strong and hard samples with dimensional stability maintain their shape and integrity throughout modeling, trimming, and handling processes.

• Simplified Post-Processing: Easy to clean and compatible with removable mold operations, the material preserves fine details while reducing post-processing time, helping dental labs achieve both efficiency and quality.

In addition to mechanical performance, the material exhibits good heat resistance, adapting well to post-processing and transportation temperature changes to maintain model stability. Its high opacity and matte white surface facilitate margin marking, scanning, and visual inspection. The combination of precision, strength, and usability makes Precision Stone an essential component in digital dental 3D printing workflows, including 3D printing for education.

“In our daily lab production, we have been looking for a material that meets the precision requirements of crown and bridge models while being easy to handle. Precision Stone offers excellent forming accuracy, clear margins, and stable removable mold performance. Its dimensional stability ensures that final restorations are of high quality. When paired with a stable 355nm SLA printer, the entire workflow becomes efficient and reproducible. This allows us to gradually move away from traditional labor-intensive modeling and truly achieve a digital transformation in our lab,” said a product manager from a regional dental lab.

High Precision and Strength Optimized for Dental Workflows

Precision Stone is designed for dental professionals and labs requiring consistent model quality across various applications. Manufactured under a quality management system, it ensures batch-to-batch consistency and is compatible with standard SLA 3D printing workflows.

For dental labs, this means printed models accurately reproduce intraoral scan or design data, reducing deviations. Clear surface details and stable, removable molds allow technicians to work more reliably when fabricating restorations, lowering rework rates and increasing overall efficiency. High hardness and heat resistance further ensure dimensional stability during post-processing, transport, and storage.

In orthodontics and educational applications, Precision Stone provides durable and repeatable models for study, treatment simulation, and training. Its strength and detailed performance allow 3D printed models to maintain form and accuracy even under repeated use, making it ideal for 3D printing for education.

Choosing Materials for High-Precision Dental Models

Precision Stone is widely applicable for dental model printing, including crown and bridge models, orthodontic models, and educational models. With high forming accuracy, sharp detail, and dimensional stability, it meets the continuous quality requirements of dental laboratories and clinical users.
