The cara Print 4.0 printer utilizes light to print 3-d objects in a photoinitiated liquid
transformed into dental appliances that are then used for medical applications such as:
Splints, Night Guards, Surgical Drilling Guides, Impression Trays, Temporary Crowns and
Bridges, Models and Partial Dentures (for model casting). Printing is done by trained
professionals in dental manufacturing environments (eg. dental laboratories, dentists).
The unit is not suitable nor intended for printing any other type of object, nor is it
intended for any other use or purpose.
NOTE
Any printed 3D dental object must be post cured with an appropriate post-curing device.
For Kulzer liquids we strictly recommend to use Hilite® power 3D device.
It is mandatory to observe and follow material application instructions for post curing
process completely, e.g. post-curing times, positioning, max. temperature, light intensity
& spectrum.
Instruction for use of post curing devices must be observed in parallel. Kulzer will not
become liable for incomplete or wrong production process accompany 3D printing.
3.2 Proper Operation
