[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 360096, member: 25140"] I’ll start by saying validation is not to be worked around. It’s there for our safety as well as the patient. With that said doctors are able to use resins not yet validated for a particular printer just because they have a degree. They get the benefit of the doubt because they took a course in university that taught them the parameters to stay in. Was 3D resins even brought up when they were in school? Are they taking educational classes or just sales pitch classes? Who knows but we as lab techs must stay within the proper protocol. We don’t get the benefit of the doubt we get the inspection. On another note I am a HUGE fan of non dental printers but I have to stay within the protocol. I don’t have a lot of capital and although I’m partially digital I’m moving much slower because I haven’t taken the investment of the $10-15,000 printers. Luckily for me the resin companies are seeing there is a huge market of people like me who just want the option to print outside of the big name printers. Keystone, Pro3dure, Ronin, Dentfab are just a few that are validating as much printers that are capable as possible. It takes times and some are better than others even from the same printer company. Spoke to the person responsible for validation on Ronin resins and he said an interesting comment. He said in regards to Phrozen printers the Sonic and Sonic XL moved along relatively well but the mini for denture resins is in his words was “rough”. So we can just pop a resin in and play around with the settings and hope the chemical bonds will hold the way they were intended to. Maybe some printers and resins aren’t meant to coexist. [/QUOTE]
