Desktop Health Flexcera Resins Validated for LuxCreo 3D Printers
Flexcera is a family of popular, FDA 510(k) cleared nanoceramic polymers used for 3D printing dental cosmetic, restorative and removable indications.

Desktop Health, production-grade dental 3D printing brand of Desktop Metal, reports that Flexcera family resins are qualified for use with LuxCreo 3D printers.
Flexcera dental resins are FDA (510)k cleared, MDR (medical device regulation) certified, and CE marked for 3D printed restoratives, such as provisional implant supported dentures, veneers, crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, cosmetic snap-on smiles, and removables such as full and partial dentures.
Flexcera for LuxCreo, offered on the iLux Pro Dental and fastprint.io 3D printers, is now available for purchase in the United States, United Kingdom, European Economic Area, and Canada. Not all versions of Flexcera may be available in all of these regions.
“We are excited to welcome LuxCreo into the Flexcera family—which will enable this popular brand of dental printers to now offer beautiful, high performance dental prosthetics,” says Lou Azzara, president of Desktop Health. “Everyday, patients around the world are being fitted with custom, affordable implants, dentures and other dental prosthetics that are improving their lives.”
While LuxCreo offers resins for aligners, surgical guides and night guards, Flexcera now offers LuxCreo's users a range of dental resins for restorative, cosmetic, implant and denture applications that provide aesthetic and mechanical properties. LuxCreo is the only 3D printer manufacturer to offer a direct printed aligner solution for orthodontists via its iLux Pro Dental and fastprint.io dental 3D printers.
The LuxCreo fastprint.io printer is made for dental offices with a smaller footprint and build area. Offered in partnership with Glidewell, the largest dental lab in the world, the system will now enable more patients to benefit from Flexcera family resins.
Passing a suite of ISO testing, Flexcera-approved digital dental workflows deliver accuracy of prints, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility.
The first Flexcera family resins validated for LuxCreo systems are:
- Flexcera Smile Ultra+—used for permanent and temporary, 3D printable dental restorations
- Flexcera Smile—used for removable 3D printable denture teeth
- Flexcera Base Ultra+—used for 3D printable full, removable denture bases and partials
All Flexcera for LuxCreo resins are FDA 510(k) cleared, MDR certified, and CE marked.
