3D  PRINTING -  MOONRAY  Desktop  3D  Printer

​
MoonRay S100 allows you to quickly print multiple precise dental models, surgical guides, or night guards.  MoonRay works with  easy-to-use software, and is compatible with a wide range of dental materials.  Digital dentistry demands a modern 3D printing solution to provide patients with the best experience possible. The MoonRay 3D printer was created to bring the power of 3D printing to your desktop and to make this amazing technology easy to use and accessible for professionals. The MoonRay enables dental professionals to create models and appliances in-house/on-demand with unparalleled levels of speed, quality and precision. Now you can quickly and easily print surgical guides, night guards, accurate dental models for vacuum forming, castable crowns, bridges and partials.
​
The MoonRay was built to be an all-in-one system that meets the needs of the dental industry.
Setup is simple, and the RayWare software makes it easy to go from intraoral or 3D scan to printed part. The MoonRay requires less maintenance than similar 3D printers, as the durable resin tank lasts for printing with up to 50 L of resin before it needs to be changed. The MoonRay is compatible with a variety of materials for a wide range of applications and appliances.

about  the printer

MoonRay was built to be an all-in-one system that meets the needs of the dental industry. Setup is simple, and the RayWare software makes it easy to go from intraoral or 3D scan to printed part. MoonRay requires less maintenance than similar 3D printers, as our durable resin tank lasts for printing with up to 50L of resin before it needs to be changed. 

Moonray offers a wide range of materials, including our own Gray Model Resin, Castable Resin, Surgical Guide Resin, Night Guard Resin, and Denture Base Resin. MoonRay is also compatible with the NextDent family of materials, further expanding your dental 3D printing capabilities with MoonRay.

What  you   can   print 

Maximize MoonRay's potential by printing multiple models at once, making your workflow faster and more economical. Here's a break down of the cost and production time of the most common types of dental parts you can print with MoonRay:

moonray  vs  formlabs   printer

#1. Type of 3D Printing Technology
DLP Technology cures a layer of resin at a time - Light Projected full layer where Form2 (SLA) cures with laser pointed light. MoonRay cures 1"/hour at 100 Microns - CEREC .STL file size is 100microns with Form2 at 140 Microns Resolution
DLP Technology is 2-3X faster than SLA and up to 10X faster on complex prints.

#2. MoonRay is an open Resin system 
www.nextdent.com is leading manufacturer of Dental Resin Materials)
Form2 has a proprietary cartridge system which has fewer materials and customer has to purchase all resins from FormLabs (like HP ink cartridges with their printer). Example: New Ortho Clear Formlabs $499/liter - Exact Same Material as NextDent $299/liter, Surgical Guide Resin Form2 $399, MoonRay $249

#3. Cost of Ownership/Maintenance:
MoonRay - Change Resin Tank up to every 50 Liters of Resin
Form2 - Change Resin Tank ($60/ea) every 1-2 Liters of Resin
 
#4. Miscellaneous:
• Remote printing available with MoonRay/not available with Form2
• One Resin Tank for all Resin Materials (MoonRay) and different Resin Tank required for each Form2 Resin Material used
• Cost: Form2 $3499 plus $500 Live Support & MoonRay S $3999 with Live/Training included
• Both offer Plans to Replace 3D Printer "HOT SWAP" $499/year Form2 and $399/year MoonRay
