Description

ZonMed PRS-R-14 Direct Printed Shape Memory Clear Aligner Resin

ZONMED PRS-R-14 Clear Aligner Resin for Direct-Printed Orthodontic Aligners

The ZONMED PRS-R Clear Aligner Resin is a medical-grade photopolymer material developed for the direct 3D printing of clear orthodontic aligners. Designed for professional dental applications, it combines high tensile strength, above-average elongation at break, low shrinkage, wear resistance and transparent aesthetics to support accurate, durable and comfortable clear aligner production.

Compatible with LCD and DLP 3D printers, ZONMED PRS-R provides dental clinics, orthodontic laboratories and dental 3D printing providers with a dedicated material for digitally manufactured invisible aligners.

Its low-shrinkage formulation helps maintain dimensional accuracy between the digital design and printed appliance, while its mechanical properties support the demands of everyday orthodontic use.

Key Features & Benefits

Direct-Printed Clear Aligner Material

ZONMED PRS-R-14 is specifically formulated for producing 3D-printed clear orthodontic aligners, providing an alternative to workflows that rely on printing models and subsequently thermoforming sheets.

Its transparent formulation is designed to produce discreet, natural-looking orthodontic appliances.

High Tensile Strength

Clear aligners are exposed to continuous mechanical forces during orthodontic treatment. The resin’s high tensile strength helps printed aligners maintain their structural integrity during use.

Above-Average Elongation at Break

The material’s above-average elongation at break contributes to the flexibility required for clear aligner applications, helping the finished appliance maintain its shape during everyday wear.

Low Shrinkage

Low polymerisation shrinkage helps improve dimensional accuracy and maintain the relationship between the digital orthodontic design and the final printed aligner.

This can also help reduce the need for post-processing adjustments and support a more efficient digital orthodontic workflow.

Transparent Appearance

The transparent resin is designed for producing discreet clear aligners suitable for patients seeking an aesthetic orthodontic treatment option.

Wear Resistant

ZONMED PRS-R-14 is described as wear resistant, helping the printed aligner withstand the stresses and abrasion associated with regular use.

Medical-Grade, Non-Toxic Formulation

The material is specified as medical grade and non-toxic, supporting its intended use in professional dental and orthodontic applications.

Designed for Digital Orthodontics

ZONMED PRS-R-14 is intended for modern digital orthodontic workflows where patient scans are converted into digitally designed aligners and manufactured using compatible LCD or DLP 3D printing technology.

The resin supports the production of custom clear aligners with precise geometry, transparent aesthetics and mechanical properties suited to orthodontic applications.

This makes it suitable for:

• Dental clinics with in-house 3D printing
• Orthodontic practices
• Dental laboratories
• Clear aligner manufacturers
• Dental 3D printing service providers

LCD & DLP 3D Printer Compatibility

The ZONMED PRS-R clear aligner resin is compatible with LCD and DLP 3D printers.

Its recommended layer thickness is 50 microns, supporting the production of detailed orthodontic appliances with accurate printed geometry.

For optimal results, printer-specific exposure, washing and post-curing parameters should follow the manufacturer’s recommended settings and technical documentation.

Clear Aligner Resin for Professional Dental Production

The combination of low shrinkage, high tensile strength, flexibility and wear resistance makes ZONMED PRS-R suitable for professional clear aligner manufacturing.

Its transparent appearance supports the aesthetic requirements of invisible orthodontic appliances, while its dimensional stability helps maintain the accuracy of the digitally designed appliance.

The material can therefore fit into workflows focused on direct-printed invisible braces and digitally manufactured orthodontic aligners.

Technical Specifications

Storage & Handling

For consistent printing performance, store the resin in a cool, dry and dark environment, away from direct sunlight.

Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use and avoid contamination. The supplied product information specifies a 12-month shelf life when stored under recommended conditions.

Proper ventilation and suitable protective equipment should be used when handling uncured resin. Printer vats and build platforms should also be cleaned regularly to prevent material residue from affecting print quality.
