[QUOTE="PressTech, post: 357200, member: 1539"] That printer will be good enough to make models suitable to thermoform clear aligners or clear retainers, however to make hawley retainers you will have to use a very dedicated separator that is high on cost, it is needed because to separate acrylic from the surface of a printed model is very difficult if not impossible. The slicer software might be another expense if you want to open more posibilities with other resins as the basic slicer from phrozen is limited to their resins and a few others. Make sure of the dimensional stability of the resin you will use as the water based resins tend to keep and loose water and might loose its correct dimension, more important even if the models are for crown and bridge or implant work, hope this little info helps.
