Graphenano G-PRINT V2: prepare a dental model printing workflow

Graphenano G-PRINT V2 is a resin for dental models, now available at Dentcore in a 1-litre bottle. Its role is the physical model used in the laboratory workflow. It is not a resin for directly printing crowns, splints or aligners for use in the mouth.

Before adding a bottle to the production shelf, define the model your lab needs and prepare the printer-specific process. That keeps the evaluation focused on usable models rather than whether a first print simply finishes.

Define the model's job

Graphenano describes G-PRINT V2 for solid and hollow dental models, including workflows with removable dies. Decide what the technician will check on the finished model and how it will be handled after printing.

For a model with dies, include die seating and identification in the review. For a hollow model, include the preparation and cleaning steps in the work instruction. Choose a permitted training file that represents the model work the lab expects to produce, and keep the original file available for later comparisons.

Get the setup for your specific printer

The manufacturer describes a DLP printing workflow and provides a calibration file and technical protocol for establishing suitable settings. Give the support team the exact printer model, resin version and intended layer height when requesting the current setup.

A wavelength or broad exposure range on a product page is not a complete printer profile. Keep the approved settings with the workstation's material record. Note the printer software and profile version as well, so the technician can identify what changed if a later model behaves differently.

Include cleaning and post-curing in the trial

The manufacturer's workflow continues through cleaning and post-curing after printing. Obtain the current G-PRINT instructions for those steps and use the specified equipment and parameters. Avoid carrying over a routine from a different model resin simply because the uncured liquids look similar.

Assign a place for each stage of the work and make it clear when a model is ready for inspection. The person checking the result needs to know that the complete process has finished. Retain the material lot and processing record with the trial result.

Inspect the finished model against a repeatable checklist

Review the areas that matter to the intended use, such as visible margins, contact areas, die seating and surface condition. Use the lab's established acceptance method and record the result. Keep an approved reference model or documented reference measurements for the training case.

If the result is unacceptable, identify the stage to investigate before changing settings. A print failure, a cleaning issue and a fit discrepancy need different follow-up. Change one controlled variable at a time with the relevant technical support, and document the new result.

Measure cost per accepted model

Record resin use, hands-on processing time and rejected models during the trial. Use accepted models as the denominator when reviewing cost. The bottle price alone does not describe the work required to produce a usable model.

Run representative jobs before making the resin a default choice. A successful demonstration on one geometry is a useful starting point; the lab still needs a process that its operators can repeat for the model types they produce.

To compare material categories, read dental resin selection. For another model-material lineup and the distinctions between model applications, see RAYSHAPE model resins. Printer profiles and processing instructions stay specific to each material.
