A Partnership Built on Innovation and Trust
The partnership between Carbon and Keystone Industries began with a shared vision: to revolutionize dental manufacturing by combining cutting-edge technology with world-class materials. This vision came to life with the release of KeySplint Soft Clear, a groundbreaking material that offers advanced comfort, durability, and aesthetics to dental appliances. KeySplint Soft Clear was explicitly designed for Carbon's Digital Light Synthesis™ (DLS™) technology, enabling dental labs to produce high-quality, patient-specific parts with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
Since introducing KeySplint Soft Clear, the relationship between Carbon and Keystone has only grown stronger. Together, the two companies have continued to innovate, developing new materials and processes that empower dental labs to meet the evolving needs of clinicians and patients alike. This collaboration has been important in advancing 3D printing and high-volume manufacturing.
Expanding the Range of Possibilities with Keystone Materials
As the partnership has evolved, the range of Keystone materials validated for use with Carbon printers has expanded, offering dental labs a comprehensive suite of solutions to meet various clinical needs:
- KeySplint® Soft Clear: For nightguards, offering exceptional comfort and flexibility
- KeySplint Hard: A durable option for rigid nightguards
- KeyGuide™: Designed for surgical guides, providing precision and clarity
- KeyDenture Try-In™: For removable denture try-ins, ensuring optimal fit before final fabrication
- KeyMask®: For gingival masks in dental restorations, offering a lifelike simulation of gum tissue
- KeyGuard: A robust material for 3D printed sportsguards, ensuring protection and durability
Keystone's materials, combined with Carbon's DLS™ technology, help dental labs deliver custom, high-quality parts to clinicians with exacting standards.
The Future of Dental Manufacturing is Here
Carbon's robust technology demonstrates its ability to deliver at scale, with over 1,000,000 dental parts now printed in 314,000 hours using 11,200 liters of Keystone materials. This milestone is a testament to Carbon's commitment to quality, reliability, and innovation. Unlike traditional 3D printing companies, Carbon is redefining what it means to manufacture dental products at high volumes. By leveraging our DLS™ technology and a robust ecosystem of validated materials like those from Keystone, Carbon is helping dental labs produce custom parts faster, more efficiently, and with greater precision than ever before.
"Reaching this milestone is a significant achievement for our partnership with Keystone and a clear indicator of the direction in which dental manufacturing is headed," said Phil DeSimone, CEO and Co-Founder of Carbon. "We are not just a 3D printing company; we are pioneering a new era of high-volume custom manufacturing to meet the demands of today's dental industry."
Continuing the Legacy of Innovation
Both Carbon and Keystone remain committed to driving innovation in the oral healthcare space. With a focus on expanding the range of available materials and enhancing the capabilities of Carbon's DLS™ technology, the future looks bright for digital dentistry. The collaboration is poised to deliver even more advanced solutions, providing dental labs worldwide the tools they need to stay ahead in a competitive market.
