R&R Dental 3D Printing Materials Equipment Settings Guide

R&R Dental 3D Printing Materials Equipment Settings Guide

3D printer settings: Ransom & Randolph 3D model resins are compatible with DLP and LCD 3D printers. Because every 3D printer, resin, and model is different, achieving the best print quality may require adjusting parameters in the slicing software. This customization ensures optimal settings for R&R resins and the requirements of the specific print. For best results, use the settings in this guide and always follow the printer manufacturer’s instructions.

Curing unit settings: to achieve the highest quality cured prints made from R&R model and castable resins, use the parameters in this document. During curing, follow the device manufacturer’s instructions.
