Asiga 3D Printers for Dental: Which One Is Right for You?

Asiga makes several dental 3D printers. They're all DLP, they're all good, and they're all confusingly similar-sounding if you're just reading spec sheets. So let's skip the jargon and figure out which one actually matches your practice.

Tell Me About Your Practice, and I'll Tell You Your Printer

"I'm a solo dentist doing chairside restorations"

Your printer: Asiga Ultra

Asiga Ultra, 50 micron precision in a compact package

You need speed and accuracy in a compact package. The Ultra prints at 50 micron resolution, the finest in Asiga's lineup. You're printing surgical guides before lunch and models before the patient comes back. Small footprint, big precision.

What you'll print: Surgical guides, crown & bridge models, temporary restorations, night guards

"I run a dental lab with 5-15 cases per day"

Your printer: Asiga MAX 2

Asiga MAX 2, reliable desktop production for growing labs

The MAX 2 is Asiga's latest-generation desktop printer. Compact at just 19.3 kg, it delivers a build volume of 119 × 67 × 76 mm (62 µm pixel size), enough to batch several cases per print. Latest gen light engine means faster prints and more consistent curing. If you need a workhorse that fits on a desk, this is it.

What you'll print: Models, surgical guides, splints, castable patterns, small denture components

"We're a high-volume lab doing 30+ cases per day"

Your printer: Asiga Pro 4K 80

Asiga Pro 4K 80, the production powerhouse

The Pro 4K 80 is Asiga's full-scale production machine. With a massive build volume of 217 × 122 × 200 mm, roughly 5x the MAX 2, you can nest dozens of parts per print. 4K resolution at 80 µm pixel size means you're not sacrificing quality for throughput. At 140 kg with a 600W power supply, this is serious production equipment.

What you'll print: Everything. At volume. Models, guides, splints, castables, denture bases, full-arch components. The Pro 4K 80 handles it all.

What all Asiga printers have in common

• DLP technology: projects an entire layer at once (faster than laser-based SLA)
• Open material platform: use Asiga resins or compatible third-party materials like Graphy, DETAX, and Keystone
• Asiga Composer software: included, handles slicing and print management
• LED light engine: long lifespan, consistent output over time

One more thing: materials

Asiga makes their own resin line (DentaMODEL, DentaCAST, DentaGUM, DentaBASE, DentaTRAY, and more), but the real power is the open platform. You can run Graphy, DETAX, Keystone, and other resins, which means you're never locked into one material ecosystem.
