HeyGears UltraCraft A2D HD - DLP 3D Printer

Resin 3D printers are transforming the dental sector, offering innovative solutions for the production of high-precision models, prototypes, and final parts. The Ultracraft A2D HD from HeyGears is a 3D printing equipment that redefines efficiency and quality in the lab by offering solutions such as fixed prosthetics, removable prosthetics, implants, and orthodontics.

This compact system stands out for three key features. First, it's an ideal solution for batch production, thanks to its high speed and repeatability. With the A2D HD, it's possible to print five full-arch models in just 20 minutes. The precision between consecutive prints of the same design varies by only ±5%, ensuring 95% consistency in multi-batch manufacturing.

Secondly, the A2D HD dental printer is a key ally for the dental sector, as it incorporates technology that allows 3D printing of dental parts without the need for subsequent polishing. Additionally, the equipment is upgradable to 4K resolution, further improving the surface quality of printed models.

Finally, the A2D HD establishes an intelligent and efficient workflow that optimizes every stage of the process. One-click part extraction and easy support removal significantly simplify post-production. Furthermore, NFC technology for automatic material recognition and printing strategies ensures error-free setup and optimal performance for every job. This means that the printer automatically identifies the type of resin loaded and adjusts printing parameters, such as light intensity and exposure times, to ensure maximum quality and consistency in each part. This comprehensive approach not only saves time but also improves the consistency and quality of printed parts, which is fundamental for professionals seeking impeccable results.

Economic Benefit and Superior Quality

From an economic perspective, the durability of DLP technology in the Ultracraft A2D HD far surpasses other alternatives. A single DLP system in this printer offers a lifespan equivalent to more than thirty LCD screens (1 DLP ≥ 30 LCD). This is because DLP technology (Digital Light Processing) uses a digital light projector that lasts significantly longer than LCD screens, which tend to degrade with intensive use. This greater durability translates into substantial long-term savings by reducing maintenance and replacement costs, which increases the profitability of the investment.

The A2D HD stands out for offering 3D prints with high transparency and superior finishes, drastically reducing post-processing times and associated costs. The option to upgrade to 4K resolution further enhances surface quality, allowing for extraordinary details. 4K resolution, which doubles the pixels of the HD version (from 1920x1080p to 3840x2160p), allows for much greater printing precision, resulting in parts with a smoother surface and finer details. This is crucial for dental applications where accuracy and aesthetics are paramount.

Technical Specifications and Auxiliary Equipment

The Ultracraft A2D HD's capabilities include a build volume of 163.2x91.8x110 mm, with an XY resolution of 85 μm in HD and 21.3 μm in 4K. The precision of ±42.5 μm (HD) and ±21.3 μm (4K) ensures the fidelity of every detail. The 385nm and 405nm light sources with a lifespan exceeding 30,000 hours, guarantee consistent and reliable performance. To complement the printer, a series of essential auxiliary equipment for a perfect finish is offered.

The Ultracraft Wash system provides automatic one-click cleaning and drying via atomization, eliminating the need for manual contact with resin and ensuring a fast, clean, and odor-free process. This unit allows for deep cleaning of printed parts in a reduced time of 2 to 4 minutes. Its innovative vibration-based washing technology is up to five times more effective than traditional ultrasonic cleaning systems, ensuring the complete removal of uncured resin from the surface of the parts.

Production Optimization and Finish Quality

To further optimize production, the Ultracraft Pulse Release Module is a revolutionary addition. This module reduces peeling force by approximately 90%, generating a larger separation angle that minimizes the effort required to release the part from the release film. This not only reduces support resin usage by between 42% and 71% but also reduces the support contact area by between 74% and 88%. The Pulse Release Module opens the door to printing resins with special properties, parts with sharp angles, and closed cavity structures without supports, facilitating the creation of complex geometries.

Finally, the HT Resin Tank, made from a highly transparent material, helps ensure the surface of finished products is smooth and translucent, drastically reducing manual polishing time or, in many applications, eliminating the need for polishing entirely. When combined with the pulse module, the peeling force is reduced by 90% compared to other trays, further simplifying post-processing and offering a low-cost solution with self-replacing film capability. Together, these auxiliary equipment complement the Ultracraft A2D HD, creating a 3D printing ecosystem that maximizes efficiency, quality, and profitability for any dental professional.
