cara Print 4.0
Quick, precise, economical: The perfect fit.
cara Print 4.0: a 3D printer developed by dental experts
cara Print 4.0 offers dental technicians a faster, more economical method of producing polymer-based dental appliances in-house. Not only does it provide a cost-effective alternative to milling for certain indications, it is more competitively priced than other 3D printers on the market, while still meeting all the accuracy requirements.
The technology in brief
- Digital Light Projection (DLP) makes cara Print 4.0 quicker, more economical and more accurate than laser-light technology.
- In comparisons with other 3D printers used for dental appliances, it has proven faster than most DLP systems.
- The intelligent illumination sequence and mechanical movement of the z-axis speed up the printing process significantly.
- The long-lasting resin tray remains transparent and stable as long as it is not mechanically damaged.
- Thanks to these properties, cara Print 4.0 results in smoother, more homogeneous surfaces than competing 3D printers.

Technology explained
Digital Light Projection (DLP) vs. Laser
Digital Light Projection is quicker, more economical and more accurate than laser light technology. It can deliver highly uniform and aesthetic surfaces that are unattainable using laser technology.
Laser-based 3D printers ‘trace’ each layer, point for point, line for line. With DLP technology, cara Print 4.0 projects an entire layer in a single flash, with a finer level of detail than laser – for greater precision, faster production and smoother surfaces.
Automatic speed adjustment
Unlike many other 3D printers, cara Print 4.0 automatically adapts printing speed according to the accuracy requirements of the current layer, often reaching speeds in excess of 100 mm/hour (e.g. when printing temporary support structures).
Variable layer thickness (30 - 100 μm)
The ability to vary layer thickness means that you can select the optimal balance of accuracy and speed. This makes it possible to optimize the process for appliances that don’t have high accuracy requirements (e.g. impression trays) by increasing the layer thickness and thereby reducing build time.
