Embodiment Construction
[0029] The present invention generally relates to a rapid prototyping system for manufacturing dental devices such as, for example, artificial teeth, dentures, splints, veneers, inlays, onlays, copings, framework patterns, crowns and bridges , models, orthotics, etc. More specifically, such dental devices can be fabricated using a support material that can be sculpted by ablation to build the dental device from a novel liquid into a three-dimensional object. The support material can be printed by LIFT (Laser Induced Forward Transfer), SLA (Stereolithography), DLP (Digital Light Processing), inkjet or mechanical systems, and undesired parts can be removed by laser beam and each layer can be sequentially shape to form. Support materials can be phased or cured prior to ablation and can be removed with water or other environmentally friendly solvents after the model is complete.
[0030] In an embodiment of the invention, an ablation-based 3D printer is used to create material s...
