1 - INTRODUCTION
01
PLASTPRESS BIO-ART is a multi-application equipment that, due to its ease of use and handling, has
become indispensable in laboratories and dental offices. There are many applications and new
techniques are being developed every day, expanding the range of uses.
This manual contains all the necessary information about its operation. Please read it carefully to
ensure the correct use of the machine and best performance.
Considering that the operational process of the product is similar for all applications, we describe the
laminating technique in chapter 8 and then present each application, highlighting its particularities in
chapter 9.
Note that there are several types of plates of different materials and thicknesses, which entails different
laminating times. Therefore, the optimum laminating point is made by observation and this technique is
described along with the operational process of the machine. The specification of the plate indicated for
each application, as well as its ideal lamination point and finishing details are defined in the description
of each application.
Finally, we recommend once again that you read this manual, as we would like you to make the most of
your machine, taking advantage of all its advantages.
As the English say: "Make the most of it!".

7.1 - Carefully unpack the laminator and check that it has not suffered any damage during transport.
7.2 - The laminator must be installed in a ventilated place, free from humidity, excessive heat and
supported on a flat and level rigid surface. Do not embed and do not place any material between the
support base and the bottom of the machine, so that this area is free, allowing air circulation. Leave at
least 20cm free between the entire perimeter of the laminator and another object, for its correct
operation when its moving parts are extended/open.
7.3 - Check the voltage of the local network before connecting the laminator to the outlet, remember that
this machine does not have dual voltage, so check the supply voltage (127V or 220V) before turning it
on. Variations in supply voltage of up to ± 10% of the rated voltage are allowed.
7.4 - Connect the power cable (19) to the input connector (18) located on the back of the equipment.
Connect the laminator power cable (19) to the electrical outlet with a properly installed grounding
system.
7.5 - Connect the compressed air network, with a pressure between 3 and 8 bar (43.5 to 116 psi), to the
quick coupling (17) of the air hose extender (16) of the laminator. Do not let the compressed air hose
bend and form creases. This will interrupt or decrease the airflow, impairing its operation. The
compressed air network must have a pressure regulator with an oil filter in order to avoid damage to the
laminator.
Attention:
The equipment must never be used without the hose extender (16).

Hose: Ø6mm (External)
Pressure Between 3 and 8 bar (43.5 to
116 psi)
Notes:
- The protective grounding for the laminator connection must comply with the NBR 5410 (Brazil)
standard or the standard in force in the importing country.
- For protection against possible failures or short circuits, it is advisable to install a protection device
(thermomagnetic bipolar circuit breaker) in the electrical network where the machine will be installed, to
disconnect the two phases. Use a single-pole circuit breaker if the electrical network has only one
phase.
- Do not use a tee connector or other similar type of plug to connect the laminator to the same outlet
where another product is already installed.
- Do not obstruct the electrical outlet where the laminator is connected, thus allowing its quick
disconnection if necessary.
8 - USE INSTRUCTIONS
Attention:
If the machine is not used in accordance with the specifications described in this chapter,
the protections and functions of the product may be impaired. For the operational process,
follow the instructions below, orienting yourself by the numbers in the figures in chapter 5.
Positive pressure laminating process:
8.1 - To start the laminating process, the machine must have the power cable (19) connected to it and to
the electrical outlet with the correct voltage. It should also have a 6 mm diameter compressed air hose
connected to the quick coupling (17) of the hose extender (16) of the laminator. The main switch (06)
m u s t b e o f f .
8.2 - Using the knob (08), release the pressure chamber by turning the lock 180° (Image 01) and turn
the heating unit (01) 180º to the left until it is in the posterior position (Image 02).
05
Img. 01 Img. 02

06
8.3 - Open the pressure chamber (03), pulling it up and to the left, through its knob (07), until it is
positioned with its opening fully facing up (Image 03).
8.3 - Place the model on the model holder (14) and then place the assembly in the cavity on the cabinet
cover (09) (Image 04).
Img. 03
Img. 04
The model holder can be positioned in two ways:
8.3.1 - Bucket position:
It allows easier removal of the plates, especially when the model has retentions or when using rigid
plates and/or with thicknesses equal to or greater than 1.0 mm.
To use the model holder in this position, place the model on the bucket side of the model holder (14) and
fill with glass grit covering the retaining surface up to the height of the model holder. Then insert the
assembly into the cavity on the cabinet cover (09) (Images 05 and 06).
Img. 05 Img. 06

07
Note: During this operation, it is natural for the shots to come off the plate and fall onto the
bench. To prevent this from happening, we suggest handling it inside a container (tray).
8.3.2 - Flat Position:
Allows a copy of the entire extent of the model. For a better result, cut out the model eliminating its
retentions and obtaining a flat base. Do not use a very tall model in this process, in order to reduce plate
distortion.
To use the flat side of the model holder (14), position the model holder in the cavity on the cabinet cover
(09) of the machine with the mouth facing downwards. Then place the model on the model holder
(Images 08, 09 and 10).
Important: Make sure that the cabinet cover (09) is clean and free of residues for the perfect
accommodation of the model holder.
8.4 - To position the plate, move the knob (12) of the locking ring (11) to the right, counterclockwise,
allowing the plate to be inserted. (Images 11 and 12).

8.6 - Position the plate's locking ring (11) in the pressure chamber opening (03), observing that its knob
(12) and diametrically opposite pin match the pressure chamber slots (Images 16 and 17).
8.7 - Press the locking ring (11) against the pressure chamber (03) using its handle and pin as a guide
and turn it to the left clockwise, locking the plate. (Image 18).

Img. 19 Img. 20
Attention:
It is important to hold with one hand, through
the knob (07), the pressure chamber (03), in
order to keep the set firm when the plate is
locked.
8.8 - Move the pressure chamber (03) backwards until it reaches its end of course and partially return
the heating unit (01) aligning it on the pressure chamber (03). In this position it will be possible to feel a
"click" (Images 19 and 20).
8.9 - Turn on the main switch (06), thus starting the hob heating process. The blue light of the main
switch (06) and the red light of the resistance indicator LED (05) will light up indicating that the
equipment and the resistance will be on.
Attention:
If the pressure chamber (03) is not in the correct position for heating and its lock (08)
is not in the unlocked position, the resistance indicator LED (05) will not light up and
the hob will not be heated.

8.10 - Ideal lamination point:
Due to the existence of various types of plates (different materials and thicknesses), the ideal
plasticization point is identified by changes in the plate and not by time. Therefore, it is the responsibility
of each plate manufacturer to prescribe the most correct form of the ideal lamination point.
In general, the ideal point is observed by the color change (brightness) for more opaque plates, i.e., the
plate will be shiny and transparent (e.g., milky plates) or by the plate flowing by 10 to 12mm, as
indicated in the drawing below (e.g., crystal and soft plates).
Observe the plate heating process described above through the gap between the heating unit (1) and
the pressure chamber (03) (Image 21). In the first uses, if there is any doubt, move the heating unit (01)
back slightly and, if there is a need for more heating, return it to the one above the pressure chamber
(03) (Image 21).
Img. 22 Img. 22a
Caution: Do not allow the plate to be heated beyond the time indicated by its manufacturer, avoiding its
overheating, making it unusable and being necessary to clean the melted material inside the pressure
chamber.
8.12 - Return the pressure chamber (03) to its closed position (turning it forward counterclockwise and
then clockwise to the right. At this time. The resistance indicator LED (05) should go off (Figure 23).
When reaching the ideal lamination
point, move the heating unit (01)
back to the posterior position
(Images 22 and 22a). In the first
uses, if in doubt, move the heating
unit (01) slightly backwards and
then back to the position above the
pressure chamber (03), to facilitate
the visualization of the heating level
of the plate.

10
8.13 - Lock the pressure chamber (03) in its position by turning its lock knob (08) fully to the left,
clockwise. If locking is difficult, it is because the plate locking ring (11) and/or the pressure chamber (03)
are out of their correct position (Image 24).
Img. 24
Img. 25
8.15 - Simultaneously with the locking of the pressure chamber (03), the activation of the air valve will
occur (with its characteristic click) and the pressurization of the preheated plate. During the
pressurization time, the characteristic sound of compressed air being released into the pressure
chamber will be heard.
8.16 - After approximately 15 to 20 seconds, depending on the thickness of the plate used,
turn off the main switch (06) to depressurize the pressure chamber (03). At this moment the air valve will
be closed (with its characteristic click) and the flow of compressed air will be interrupted. After complete
depressurization, turn the pressure chamber lock knob (08) fully to the right, counterclockwise, to
release the pressure chamber opening (03) (Image 25).
Attention:
Never force the pressure chamber lock knob (08) to try to open the pressure chamber
(03) before interrupting the flow of compressed air, by turning off the main switch (06).
Failure to follow this safety procedure could result in accidents causing injury to users
and damage to the product.
Attention:
Only activate the pressure chamber lock knob (08) when the pressure chamber (03) is
correctly positioned in the closed position, thus avoiding the escape of compressed air
directly into the environment.
Img. 23

11
8.17 - Carefully open the pressure chamber (03), pulling it up and to the left, through its knob (07), until it
is positioned with its opening fully facing up (Image 26). Move the plate lock ring knob (12)
counterclockwise to the right to release it and allow the plate to be removed. To do this, hold the
pressure chamber handle with the other hand in order to have a firm movement and keep the laminator
in position.
Note: If you are using the model holder in the bucket function, at this moment of opening the pressure
chamber, eventually the shots that were stuck in the plate may come loose.
Img. 26
8.18 - After removing the plate already with the plasticized model, replace the locking ring (11) in the
pressure chamber (03), returning it to the initial position, that is, closed. Also return the heating unit (01)
to the front position, reducing the space occupied by the laminator during its storage (Image 27).
Attention:_____________________________________________________________
To remove the template and finish the plate, cut out the excess material with scissors, a
stylus, steel, or carbide disc, depending on the stiffness and thickness of the plate. For
rigid plates or plates over 1.0mm thick, we strongly recommend using the Bucket Holder
for the lamination process, as mentioned above._______________________________
The final finishing of the edges can be done with mounted stones, Scotch-Brite brushes
or rubber discs.
Img. 27
8.19 - Let the model cool down for about 30 seconds
before working on it.
8.20 - If the laminator is not used frequently, we
recommend removing the power cord from the electrical
outlet and disconnecting it from the compressed air
hose.

The brackets must be positioned on the study model before
lamination with glue that is not very adherent so that they can be
easily removed together with the plate after lamination.
Next, the patient's teeth are properly prepared and the plate is
placed with the brackets, thus fixing all the brackets at once.
Carefully remove the plaque with a knife or scalpel.
For better use of the plate, several dies can be placed on the
model holder, as long as there is enough space between them for
laminating.
The dies can be placed on the model holder on a mold or
children's colored clay.
Dental reconstruction is performed on the study model with
material that withstands the heating temperature (plaster, resin,
mold, teeth, artificial teeth...). If using wax, a duplicate of the
plaster model must be made, as the wax melts with the heat of the
machine. Use only the indicated material (Milk or Soft plate), as
other types of material may chemically react with the resin.

Considerations Dental reconstruction is performed on the study model with
material that withstands the heating temperature (plaster, resin,
mold, teeth, artificial teeth...). If using wax, a duplicate of the
plaster model must be made, as the wax melts with the heat of
the machine. The new (rehabilitated) model is laminated.
Note: Use only the indicated material (Milk or Soft plate), as
another type of material adheres to the resin. After laminating,
carefully remove the plate from the model and fill the plate space
where the temporary bridge will be built with self-curing resin,
then take it to the dental preparation. For use in the mouth, the
tray should be adapted to protect the limit of 1 or 2 teeth on each
side of the area and provide approximately 3 mm around the
gingival margin.
During preparation, the tray can be inserted into the mouth and
used as a reference for the preparation contour. It will provide an
anatomy similar to natural teeth and convenient occlusion with the
antagonist arch. The correct relationship is established in the
mouth and can be observed if all edges are well demarcated and
flawless. When the resin starts to heat up, the resin/tray assembly
can be detached and reseated so that it does not polymerize on
the preparations.
When the acrylic is fully polymerized, the tray must be removed by
bending or stripping it. The acrylic obtained will be practically
polished.

10 - FUSE REPLACEMENT
11 - REPLACEMENT OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD
10.1 - Disconnect the power cable (19) from the socket and the input connector (18) before replacing
the fuse.
10.2 - Insert a small screwdriver into the slot on the bottom of the fuse holder cover, located above the
input connector pins (18), forcing it out until the assembly is released.
10.3 - Pull the fuse holder assembly out to the end and observe the existence of two fuses fitted in the
holder.
10.4 - The fuse that is visible is the one with the problem and must be replaced. The other, inside a
plastic housing, is the spare fuse that should be used to replace the faulty fuse.
10.5 - Insert the assembly back into the compartment and press it until it is completely seated.
Remember to buy another fuse of the same specification and fit it in the spare position, so that, if
necessary, it can be used on another occasion.
10.6 - Turn on the machine to check if the operation is correct. If the fuse fails again, send the equipment
to the Authorized Technical Assistance to check the possible cause of the problem and solve it.
Attention:
Only replace blown fuses with the same type as specified in the table below:
Attention:
Only replace the power cable with others with the following specification: PP cable, 2P +
T Plug at 180º, C13 connector, 10A/250V, 3x1.00 mm², 1.50m.

12 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
12.1 - Leave the model as low as possible to avoid large deformations of the plate.
12.2 - When working with the flat part of the Model Holder (14), leave the base of the plaster model flat to
prevent the plate from penetrating between the plaster model and the Model Holder (14).
13.3 - Due to the diversity of plates and jobs that can be performed, we suggest a careful analysis of the
process before starting each job.
13.4 - Handle the heating unit (01) only through its knob (02), avoiding touching it directly, as its surface
and underside heat up a lot during the lamination process, which can cause burns.
13.5 - Do not allow children or untrained people to operate the laminator.
13.6 - Do not attempt to operate the laminator if any damage is identified in any of its parts.
13.7 - Do not attempt to operate the laminator in any position other than its five supports correctly
positioned on a firm, flat surface.
13.8 - Do not leave the laminator turned on without supervision.
13.9 - Do not leave the laminator turned on in heating mode longer than the time necessary for the
plates to soften correctly.
13.10 - If any abnormal noise or smell is observed during the operation of the laminator, turn it off
immediately.
13.11 - Do not use the laminator near solvents or other flammable materials.
13.12 - During installation and operation of the laminator, check if there are no air leaks.
13.13 - Do not connect the laminator to compressed air lines with pressures greater than 8 bar (116 psi).
13.14 - Do not disconnect the air hose extender (16) that is connected to the laminator. It has a silicone
tube to protect against heating the resistor and a quick "sacrificial" connection (after many connections
and disconnections, it may be necessary to replace it with a new one, without the need to disassemble
the laminator). This connection can also be changed to adapt the laminator to other compressed air
network standards, e.g. 8 or 10 mm.
13.15 - Do not activate the pressure chamber lock (08) with the pressure chamber (03) open, out of
position for the correct pressurization of the plates.
13.16 - Never try to force the pressure chamber lock knob (08) to open the pressure chamber (03)
without depressurizing it first, through the main switch (06).
13.17 - Confirm that the locking ring (11) of the plates is correctly positioned before starting the heating
and pressurization phase.
13.18 - Never bring your face close to the air pin (15), as compressed air can unexpectedly be released
through it and cause damage to your eyes.
13.19 - Do not use the laminator for any purpose other than that intended by the manufacturer.

17
13 - MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
14 - SPECIAL STORAGE CONDITIONS
15 - TROUBLESHOOTING
13.1 - Keep the laminator always clean and protected from moisture, especially the resistance located
in the heating unit.
13.2 - To clean the cabinet, use only a cloth dampened with water and neutral detergent. Do not use
abrasive materials, alcohol or flammable liquids.
13.3 - Resistance is a component that requires some care, under no circumstances can it receive
moisture while it is heated and it should not be touched with tools, metal objects or hands.
13.4 - If there is a need to replace the resistance, this should preferably be done by an Authorized
Technical Assistance.
13.5 - If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by another that has the same characteristics
and certifications.
If the machine needs to be left unused for a long period, we recommend after cleaning it as described in
chapter 13, and storing it in its original packaging in a dry, ventilated place, free from vibrations and
protected from sunlight.
