Stephan Kreimer, a Master Dental Technician and the director of Kreimer Dentallabor GmbH & Co. KG, leads a full-service dental lab that specializes in digital workflows. Over 80% of their cases are sent digitally, and they’re processed by a team of 12 dental technicians in a workspace optimized for digital workflows. Kreimer emphasizes the importance of investing in high-quality hardware and materials. He states, “It’s a smart investment that significantly boosts our efficiency and transforms our workflow. The impact has been nothing short of revolutionary.” His lab is highly productive, averaging around 300 dental models printed monthly, with about 60% being restorative models. They also produce biocompatible appliances like occlusal splints, surgical guides, provisionals, and custom impression trays. To achieve this level of productivity, Kreimer Dentallabor has built a diverse fleet of 3D printers, including the Form 4B for biocompatible production of appliances and the large-format Form 4BL for high-throughput model production. Kreimer explains, “The intuitive workflows and ease of use of the Formlabs ecosystem enable higher efficiency, resulting in time savings and lower costs for the lab.” Kreimer is always evaluating new technologies and materials in the dental 3D printing space. Before adopting them, he rigorously tests resins like Fast Model Resin and Precision Model Resin. He found that producing restorations on restorative models printed with Form 4BL and Precision Model Resin not only saved time and costs but also eliminated unnecessary patient appointments for collaborating dentists. Kreimer Dentallabor’s space is designed specifically for digital dentistry workflows, featuring a CAD/CAM area, a CNC machining room, and a dedicated 3D printing room housing eight 3D printers. Recently, they added the Form 4BL, a large-format printer that triples the build platform size compared to the Form 4B. This has allowed them to print three times as many models per session, significantly reducing the frequency of technician interventions. Form 4B has also made a noticeable impact, enabling the lab to print over 30 restorative models a day. The introduction of Form Wash (2nd Gen) has further enhanced the post-processing workflow, making it more efficient and straightforward. Kreimer shares, “With Form 4BL, we can now produce three times more models with just one user intervention. This frees up technicians for higher-value tasks.” Kreimer highlights the versatility of Formlabs’ dental resins, stating, “We extensively test resins from multiple manufacturers to find the optimal resin for each application.” Among the resins, he uses Dental LT Comfort Resin for occlusal splints, Surgical Guide Resin for guides, and BEGO™ VarseoSmile® TriniQ® Resin for restorations, each offering exceptional precision and accuracy. He particularly praises Precision Model Resin, which he tested extensively, including printing test blocks to evaluate fine details and geometric accuracy. After thorough analysis, he concluded, “The surface accuracy of Precision Model Resin is among the best I’ve measured in any model resin. The print quality is consistently excellent.” Kreimer also leverages Fast Model Resin for less demanding applications, appreciating its speed and efficiency. “Using both Precision Model Resin and Fast Model Resin simultaneously is advantageous,” he notes. “Sometimes you need very precise models, and other times you need fast models that don’t require absolute precision.” The Formlabs ecosystem, with its seamless integration of hardware and software, has been a game-changer for Kreimer Dentallabor. Stephan concludes, “The entire ecosystem is crucial for scaling our business. From PreForm software to the printers, washers, curing units, and materials, everything works together flawlessly. Adding new applications is simple and efficient.” Kreimer envisions a future where 100% of cases are processed via intraoral scanning, ensuring consistent high-quality outcomes for clinicians and their patients. For those interested in learning more about Form 4B, Kreimer encourages attending the webinar or contacting a dental expert to explore the best Formlabs solutions for their practice. In summary, Kreimer Dentallabor’s success lies in its commitment to adopting innovative technologies, rigorous testing of materials, and optimizing workflows for maximum efficiency. Their investment in the Formlabs ecosystem has transformed their operations, enabling them to provide top-tier dental services with minimized downtime and maximized productivity.
