3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) announced today it has entered into a
multi-national distribution agreement with Henry Schein, Inc.
(Nasdaq:HSIC), the world's largest provider of healthcare products
and services to office-based dental, animal health and medical
practitioners. Under the new agreement, Henry Schein will offer
3DS' dental 3D printers to its dental laboratory customers in the
United States, Canada, France, Germany, Australia and Thailand. The
agreement substantially expands 3DS' dental labs reach and
integrates its printers into Henry Schein's complete digital dental
solution.
Under the terms of this agreement, Henry Schein will market and
sell 3DS' micro-SLA ProJet® 1200 and its new ProJet® 3510 DPPro as
part of its digital dental laboratory offering, which includes 3D
scanners, software, installation and post-sales support.
"3D Systems is an industry leader in high-fidelity, precision 3D
printing," said Robert Gottlander, Vice President, Global
Prosthetic Solutions, Henry Schein. "We are very pleased to offer
our dental lab customers 3D Systems' high-performance 3D printers
as part of our integrated digital dental solution."
Engineered specifically for the demanding dental lab
environment, the new multipurpose ProJet 3510 DPPro 3D printer
provides round-the-clock printing capabilities and features a large
build volume, allowing lab managers to rethink maximum throughput
and tighten production schedules. With the ProJet 3510 DPPro, labs
can print enhanced, highly accurate wax-ups for crowns, bridges and
partial denture frameworks, in addition to working models for crown
and bridge, orthodontic, partial dentures, and dental models in USP
Class VI-capable VisiJet® Stoneplast.
The desktop ProJet 1200 puts industrial-grade SLA 3D printing in
an affordable lab bench-top package. With specially engineered
materials, including VisiJet® FTX Green and VisiJet® FTX Cast, this
compact machine quickly produces dental wax-ups — for copings,
bridges and pressed ceramics — that are compatible with traditional
workflows.
"We are excited to work with a leading digital dental solution
provider of the caliber of Henry Schein," said Kevin McAlea, Chief
Operating Officer, Healthcare Products, 3DS. "This agreement
provides unprecedented access for our latest dental 3D printers
with a world-class organization that is uniquely qualified to
deliver integrated digital dental solutions, services and support
to our mutual dental customers."
3DS' dental solutions were showcased at the LMT LAB DAY Chicago
February 27 – 28, 2015, and will also be on display at IDS 2015,
March 10–14, 2015, in Cologne, Germany.
