Desktop Health ? the trusted production-grade medical 3D printing brand of Desktop Metal, Inc. (NYSE: DM) ? and Asiga, a leading dental 3D printing brand, have validated Flexcera Smile Ultra+, Flexcera Smile, and Flexcera Base for use on the Asiga 3D printing platform, expanding access to the innovative nanoceramic resin.

Asiga can now offer the formulation to thousands of dental labs and practices that use its 3D printers in the United States, United Kingdom, European Economic Area, and Canada.

Flexcera Smile Ultra+ delivers lifelike beauty and strong, long-term performance. This proprietary dental resin has been growing since its 2021 launch, delivering 3D printed permanent and temporary restorations, including dentures, crowns, bridges, veneers and more.

Now validated for a wide range of Asiga dental 3D printers, Flexcera can be printed on both desktop and production models ? such as the Max UV, Max 2, Ultra, and Pro 4K. This expansion of hardware systems delivers on the promise of making Flexcera more widely available on other premium, high-powered 385 nm wavelength 3D printers.

We are absolutely delighted to welcome Asiga customers into the Flexcera family," said Ric Fulop, CEO of Desktop Metal.
