Amann Girrbach Artex Print&Click Workflow for Printed Models
Amann Girrbach describes tool-free insertion, reusable components, open printer compatibility, and model libraries in supported Ceramill M-Build or exocad Model Creator workflows. The software design and physical component set must match.
Design for the base system
Select the correct Print&Click model type in supported design software and confirm model height, position, clearance, and the selected base components. A generic flat model is not automatically compatible.
Run a test pair through design, printing, cleaning, curing, plate insertion, articulation, and removal. Check seating, stability, repeat insertion, occlusion, and damage to the printed interface.
Reusable components shift the control point
Printing less base can reduce material and build time, while reusable plates reduce disposable mounting work. The tradeoff is that the reusable components must be clean, complete, undamaged, and available when the case reaches the bench.
Assign storage, inspection, cleaning, and replacement rules. Keep model plates and distance plates clearly identified so a technician cannot create an unintended height relationship.
Open printer does not mean unvalidated printer
Amann Girrbach describes compatibility with various printers and materials. The lab still needs to confirm dimensional behavior for its printer, resin, orientation, support, wash, and cure process.
Validate the model interface at the actual production settings. If the resin or cure changes, repeat the fit check before assuming the plate relationship remains unchanged.
Where the workflow pays off
Print&Click is strongest where printed models regularly need physical articulation and the lab wants a standardized, plaster-free path. Low model volume or inconsistent software support may reduce the benefit.
Dentcore supplies the set, model plates, and distance plates separately so reusable hardware and production consumables remain visible.
