Prismlab 3D Printed Dental Model Post-Processing Innovation: Alcohol-Free Cleaning Solution for a Safer and More Efficient Workflow

In the wave of digital dentistry, 3D printed dental models have become a standard in the industry. However, the post-processing stage often presents significant challenges. All photopolymer-based dental models require cleaning and post-curing to remove residual resin from the surface and maximize material performance. If these residual resins are not thoroughly removed during the cleaning stage, they will be further cured during post-curing and permanently adhere to the model surface, ultimately affecting surface quality. At present, most dental post-processing workflows rely on immersion cleaning using chemical solvents. Common cleaning agents include anhydrous ethanol, acetone, chloroform, tripropylene glycol methyl ether (TPM), isopropanol (IPA), and propylene carbonate. However, these solvents not only pose various safety risks but may also cause potential damage to dental model materials.

Shanghai Prismlab Advanced Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Prismlab”) introduces the PL-A07 automated dental model post-processing system, designed to deliver a simple, efficient, and highly stable workflow that significantly improves post-processing productivity in dental laboratories. With precise parameter control, the system ensures that each dental model receives optimal treatment, fully meeting the high-precision requirements of denture processing facilities. The system’s proprietary alcohol-free cleaning solution has become a new industry choice due to its superior safety and efficiency advantages.

01

Key Advantages of Prismlab Alcohol-Free Cleaning Solution

Alcohol-Free Formula for Safer and More Eco-Friendly Operation

The greatest advantage of the cleaning solution used with Prismlab’s automated post-processing system for 3D printed dental models lies in its alcohol-free formulation, which fundamentally eliminates the risks of flammability and explosion associated with alcohol-based solvents. This cleaning solution is classified as a combustible but non-flammable liquid, with a flash point as high as 132°C. Under normal operating conditions, it is extremely unlikely to ignite and will not explode. This means operators no longer need to worry about safety incidents caused by static electricity or open flames during the post-processing workflow. By significantly reducing operational risks, Prismlab’s alcohol-free cleaning solution makes dental model post-processing safer, more reliable, and more environmentally friendly.

High Cleaning Efficiency with Outstanding Performance

In terms of cleaning performance, Prismlab’s proprietary cleaning solution delivers excellent results. It effectively removes residual resin and contaminants from the surface of dental models. With a processing capacity of 100 models per liter, compared to only 60 models per liter for alcohol-based solutions, it not only reduces consumable usage but also ensures consistently high cleaning quality. In addition, the solution demonstrates excellent compatibility with a wide range of photopolymer resins, ensuring no damage to dental models during the cleaning process and fully preserving both dimensional accuracy and structural integrity.
