Carbon Platform Improvements: April 2025

Carbon, the idea-to-production platform, is helping you at every stage of digital product development and manufacturing. We are excited to share these new innovations now available to you.

Expanded Range of Functional Materials

SprintRay Apex Base and Teeth

Sprintray APEX Teeth Printing

SprintRay’s Apex Base and Apex Teeth resins are now fully validated for Carbon M-series printers, delivering a combination of mechanical performance, aesthetics, and ease of use for labs and clinicians. Engineered with proprietary NanoFusion technology, Apex resins are infused with the optimal amount of nanoceramics for exceptional strength and wear resistance.

Apex materials are optimized for streamlined workflows with less mixing and preparation than other denture resins, making it easier to scale production without sacrificing quality.

  • Apex Denture Base (available in 4 shades): $750/kg
  • Apex Denture Teeth (available in 4 shades): $450/0.5 kg

 

Improved Efficiency

New Parts Retrieval Basket Available for AO Backpack

Technician sorting parts in a basket

The new Parts Retrieval Basket for the AO Backpack allows your team even greater control over how and when they retrieve printed parts without disrupting automation. With this enhancement, the AO Backpack can run in full automation mode 24/7, while still allowing technicians to access finished prints while printing continues.

Better Part Quality

The Lucentra Solution

Holding Lucentra aligners

The Lucentra solution is designed to help aligner manufacturers produce clearer final thermoformed aligners. This stack of products includes software that automatically hollows models, then sorts, labels, and packs them for printing; a new polishing cassette for the Carbon L1 printer; and a next-generation material, UMA 20, which is specifically designed for hollow models. These elements work together to reduce visible layer lines in thermoformed clear aligners by delivering smoother printed models, improving clarity from the start.
