Case Study: Schollmeier Dental boosts efficiency and reduces resin cleanup with PostProcess

Schollmeier Dental Optimizes Resin Removal and Boosts Efficiency with PostProcess Technologies

Schollmeier Dental, a dental laboratory in Germany, faced significant challenges in the post-processing of its 3D-printed dental components. Their previous semi-automated method using isopropyl alcohol (IPA) resulted in high chemical consumption, health risks for employees, inconsistent cleaning results, and maintenance overhead. To overcome these issues, they turned to PostProcess Technologies for an automated solution.

PostProcess implemented its DEMI 430 system and proprietary detergent to automate resin removal. This solution drastically reduced IPA consumption from 180 liters per year to just 60 liters of PostProcess detergent, creating a safer work environment and yielding substantial cost savings. The reliable and consistent cleaning process also streamlined the lab's workflow, saving a full hour of labor each day and allowing for greater production efficiency. The success with PostProcess has positioned Schollmeier Dental to further automate its operations and advance its digital dental technology.
