Provide STL, OBJ, or STEP files along with material preferences and quantity needs. Clear project details allow faster initial guidance within 24-48 hours via email.
Key Considerations for Dental Model Projects
- File preparation: Clean, watertight meshes reduce print issues and improve accuracy for fit verification.
- Material choice: Rigid resins suit study models while flexible options work for certain prototype checks.
- Quantity and finish: Single models or small batches can be produced with surface smoothing applied as requested.
Each project receives review for geometry and printability before production begins.
Project Fit and Common Requests
Customers often request models from intraoral scans for crown and bridge verification or orthodontic study casts. Zagnat works with provided files to produce durable prints that hold dimensional stability for handling and measurement. Tolerance capability can reach as low as 0.04 mm depending on geometry, material, and process after review.
How to Request a Dental Model Quote
Start by uploading your files through the quote form. Include notes on desired material, layer resolution preferences, and any post-processing such as support removal or light sanding. Quantity, timeline needs, and shipping destination help refine the estimate. Initial price guidance is commonly sent by email in about 24-48 hours when enough details are provided. Shipping after completion commonly takes about 3-7 days and rarely more than 10 days.
