Kexcelled MOLEGRID Dental Resins: Practical Materials for Digital Dentistry Workflows

Kexcelled MOLEGRID dental resins are designed for professional dental 3D printing applications, covering a wide range of laboratory and clinical workflows including dental models, orthodontic models, gingiva masks, surgical guides, denture bases, impression trays, try-in parts, casting patterns, and temporary crown and bridge work.

For dental laboratories, clinics, and production environments, resin choice has a direct impact on print accuracy, handling, post-processing, workflow reliability, and the final use of the printed part. A general-purpose resin may be fine for basic prototypes, but dental applications often require materials with specific mechanical behaviour, surface finish, flexibility, transparency, burnout performance, or biocompatibility depending on the intended use.

The MOLEGRID dental range helps separate these workflows into application-specific materials, making it easier for users to select the correct resin for each job rather than relying on one resin across every indication.

A Resin Range Built Around Real Dental Applications

Dental 3D printing is not one single process. A model resin used for aligner production has very different requirements from a surgical guide resin, gingiva mask resin, denture base resin, or temporary crown and bridge material. The MOLEGRID range reflects this by offering materials for different parts of the digital dentistry workflow.

Model resins for accurate dental models, diagnostic models, crown and bridge models, orthodontic models, and aligner models.
Ortho Model resin for orthodontic applications where dimensional consistency and clear model detail are important.
Gingiva Mask resin for flexible gum tissue reproduction in implant and restorative workflows.
Casting Wax resin for dental casting patterns where clean burnout is required.
Tray resin for custom impression trays and dental tray production.
Try-In resin for checking fit, form, and function before final restoration or denture production.
Denture resin for digital denture base workflows.
Temp C&B resin for temporary crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, veneers, and denture teeth.
SG resin for surgical guide production where accuracy and biocompatibility are key requirements.

Why Application-Specific Dental Resins Matter

In a dental workflow, the printed part is not always the final product. Sometimes it is a model used for planning, sometimes it is a guide used during a procedure, and sometimes it is a temporary restoration that must function in the mouth for a limited period. Each situation places different demands on the material.

For example, a dental model resin should prioritise detail, dimensional accuracy, and reliable surface quality. A gingiva mask resin needs flexibility and realistic soft tissue behaviour. A casting resin needs to burn out cleanly with minimal residue. A surgical guide resin must support accurate drilling guidance and meet relevant biocompatibility expectations for clinical use.

Using the correct resin for the correct application helps reduce print failures, improve fit, simplify finishing, and create more predictable results across repeat jobs.

MOLEGRID Model Resins for Dental Models and Planning

Dental models remain one of the most common uses for resin 3D printing in dentistry. MOLEGRID Model resin is intended for durable, accurate dental models used in workflows such as full arch models, diagnostic models, models with dies, aligner models, crown and bridge models, and orthodontic models.

For dental labs, the value is not only in print accuracy but also in repeatability. When a material behaves consistently across multiple prints, it becomes easier to standardise exposure settings, post-processing, and production planning.

Suitable for dental models, aligner models, orthodontic models, and diagnostic models.
Designed for accurate detail reproduction and dimensional consistency.
Useful for laboratories producing repeat model work throughout the day.

Gingiva Mask Resin for Implant and Restorative Workflows

MOLEGRID Gingiva Mask resin is used to reproduce soft gum tissue around printed dental models. This is particularly useful for implant planning, emergence profile checks, restorative case assessment, and situations where the technician needs a more realistic soft tissue reference.

Rather than producing the entire model from a rigid resin, gingiva mask material allows the soft tissue area to be represented with a flexible material. This gives technicians a more practical way to evaluate margins, contours, contact areas, and restoration fit around the gum line.

Used for gum tissue simulation in dental models.
Flexible material behaviour supports implant and restorative case assessment.
Helps technicians review fit and aesthetics around soft tissue areas.

Casting Wax Resin for Dental Casting Patterns

MOLEGRID Casting Wax resin is designed for producing detailed dental casting patterns. In casting workflows, the printed part needs to provide good detail while also burning out cleanly during the casting process.

A clean burnout process is important because ash residue or poor burnout behaviour can affect the quality of the final cast restoration. For labs using digital workflows to create casting patterns, this type of resin helps connect CAD design, resin printing, and traditional casting methods.

Suitable for dental casting patterns and detailed wax-up style prints.
Formulated for clean burnout during casting.
Helps reduce manual pattern-making time in digital dental workflows.

Tray and Try-In Resins for Practical Chairside and Lab Work

MOLEGRID Tray resin is used for custom dental tray production, while MOLEGRID Try-In resin is used for temporary try-in parts. These materials support practical workflow steps where fit and handling matter before the final restoration or appliance is produced.

Custom trays help improve impression workflows by creating a tray suited to the patient’s anatomy. Try-in parts allow the dental team to check fit, shape, and function before committing to a final material or restoration.

Tray resin supports custom impression tray production.
Try-In resin helps check fit and form before final production.
Useful for reducing remakes and improving workflow confidence.

Denture and Temp C&B Resins for Temporary and Functional Dental Parts

MOLEGRID Denture resin supports digital denture base production, while MOLEGRID Temp C&B resin is intended for temporary crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, veneers, and denture teeth.

These materials are used closer to the functional end of the dental workflow, where mechanical performance, finishing, fit, and appearance become especially important. Temp C&B resin is also designed to support finishing and polishing, which matters when producing temporary restorations that need to look clean and professional during use.

Denture resin is used for digital denture base workflows.
Temp C&B resin supports temporary crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, veneers, and denture teeth.
Designed for dental workflows where fit, finish, and practical handling are important.

Surgical Guide Resin for Guided Dental Procedures

MOLEGRID SG resin is designed for surgical guide applications. Surgical guides need to be printed accurately because they are used to help transfer digital planning into a clinical procedure. Hole placement, dimensional stability, and material reliability are all important in this type of workflow.

For clinical applications, it is also important to check the relevant certification, printer validation, washing process, post-curing settings, and intended use instructions before using any dental resin in a patient-facing workflow.

Designed for surgical guide production.
Supports guided implant and dental procedure workflows.
Requires correct printing, cleaning, post-curing, and validation procedures.

Printer Compatibility and Workflow Considerations

Most modern dental resin workflows are built around 405nm LCD, DLP, or SLA resin printers. When choosing a dental resin, users should always confirm printer compatibility, exposure settings, layer height, washing process, post-curing requirements, and any clinical documentation needed for the application.

Kexcelled has also announced validation of selected MOLEGRID dental resins for Ackuretta SOL, SOL Plus, CURIE, and CURIE Plus dental 3D printers, including MOLEGRID Model Skin, MOLEGRID Model Grey, and MOLEGRID SG. This kind of printer validation is useful because it gives dental users more confidence when pairing a resin with a specific printer system.

Choosing the Right MOLEGRID Resin

The best resin depends on the part being produced. For general dental models, a model or ortho model resin is usually the correct starting point. For soft tissue reproduction, gingiva mask resin is more suitable. For castable parts, casting wax resin is the better choice. For temporary restorations or surgical guides, users should choose the material specifically developed for that application.

Use Model or Ortho Model resin for dental models, aligner models, and orthodontic work.
Use Gingiva Mask resin for flexible gum tissue reproduction.
Use Casting Wax resin for dental casting patterns.
Use Tray resin for custom dental trays.
Use Try-In resin for trial fitting workflows.
Use Denture resin for denture base production.
Use Temp C&B resin for temporary crowns, bridges, and related restorations.
Use SG resin for surgical guide applications.

Final Thoughts

The Kexcelled MOLEGRID dental resin range gives dental labs and clinics a more structured way to approach resin 3D printing. Instead of treating dental resin as one broad material category, the range separates materials by real applications, helping users choose based on workflow, accuracy requirements, handling needs, and final use.

For dental professionals already using digital design and resin printing, the main benefit is clarity. Each resin has a defined role in the workflow, whether that is printing models, guides, trays, try-in parts, denture bases, soft tissue masks, casting patterns, or temporary restorations. That makes the range easier to explain, easier to sell, and easier for customers to match with their own dental production setup.
