Case Study: Dental Lab Cuts Resin Costs by 50% with SureHold® Clear 3D Printing Resins

Industry: Dental Manufacturing | Customer: Confidential Dental Lab (USA) Testimonial by: Bob Racine, Product Development Engineer

The Challenge

A leading U.S.-based dental modeling facility was struggling with rising material costs and production inefficiencies while using premium-priced, name-brand resins. Despite paying more, they continued to face:

  • Warping and cracking in printed models
  • Yellowing under UV exposure
  • Inconsistent part quality and accuracy

The lab needed a reliable, cost-effective solution that would deliver consistent performance without compromising clarity or durability.

The Solution: SureHold® DLP 385 Clear Resin

The dental lab switched to SureHold® DLP 385 Clear Resin, designed specifically for precision dental modeling. This resin combines high-performance printing with cost efficiency, maintaining clarity and dimensional accuracy while reducing stress during curing.

Key Advantages

  • High optical transparency – Clarity maintained even after extended UV exposure (non-yellowing)
  • Low-stress formulation – Reduces cracking and warping risks
  • Durable & resistant – Scratch, chemical, and impact resistant
  • Simplified curing – No inert gas required, optimized with SureHold’s proprietary lacquer system
  • Printer compatibility – Works with all open-platform printers

Certified safe – ISO 10993 & USP Class IV compliant

Results After One Year

  • 50% reduction in material costs
  • Zero compromise in print quality or accuracy
  • Responsive customer support, including same-day expedited shipments
  • Simplified workflow, eliminating the need for nitrogen chambers or specialized curing equipment

Customer Testimonial

“We’ve been using the SureHold® DLP 385 clear resin for over a year with nothing but positive results. We reduced our material costs by 50% without sacrificing part quality. It’s a high-quality resin from a company that’s very easy to work with. When we miscalculated how much resin we needed, SureHold expedited our shipment to keep production on schedule.”
