A 3D printer for dental clinics and laboratories

DFAB® makes the production of natural-looking dental prosthetics far simpler compared with traditional methods.

Instant Printing

It saves you time by providing an instant personalised 3D printing service, thanks to our patented DWS Photoshade technology.

Complete Control

Working from an .stl file obtained from intraoral scanning or from a model, complete control over prosthesis colour and shading allows you to reproduce an individual patient’s tooth shade exactly for the most natural result.

The operator can select the required shading boundaries using colour codes from A1 to A3.5, and the exact position and width of the desired gradient, with complete control across the entire surface.

Photoshade Software

The Nauta Photoshade software generates a preview in real time and upon confirmation, executes the 3D print to obtain the most realistic result possible.

High Accuracy and Speed

Thanks to the high accuracy and precision, DFAB ensures an accurate fit and correct occlusion. Its high printing speed enables the system to produce a bridge with up to five elements in less than twenty minutes, so treatment can be completed in a single appointment.

Finishing Touches

The prosthesis obtained is ready for fitting into the patient’s mouth after a few finishing touches: easy removal of supports, washing in alcohol, a few minutes’ final UV treatment, and polishing.

Biocompatible Material

DFAB uses disposable cartridges of Irix MAX hybrid ceramc resin which produce aesthetically pleasing permanent restorations that stand out for their translucency, high strength and precise fit.

Silent & Maintenance Free

The 3D printer operates silently and dust-free, and requires no maintenance, installation, or tool changes.

It is available in desktop and chairside versions with integrated computer and 7-inch touch screen.

Digital Workflow

DWS developed the technology for DFAB with the primary objective of reducing the time and steps necessary to create dental prostheses, while making the devices easy to control and within reach of operators who do not possess specific in-depth technical knowledge.
