Kexcelled MOLEGRID™ Ortho Model High-Precision Dental Resin - 1 kg

High-Precision Grey Resin for Orthodontic Dental Models

Key Performance Benefits

• Dedicated orthodontic formulation: Developed specifically for the production of physical orthodontic dental models.
• High printing precision: Supports reproduction of full-arch geometry, tooth position, occlusal surfaces and gingival contours.
• Good precision retention: Designed to retain model geometry after printing, cleaning and correct post-curing.
• Rigid model performance: 84 Shore D hardness and a tensile modulus of 2,550 MPa support stable models for routine laboratory handling.
• Low-viscosity processing: 300–400 cps viscosity at 25°C supports resin flow, layer replenishment and post-print drainage.
• 385–405 nm compatibility: Suitable for many compatible open-material LCD, MSLA and DLP resin printers operating within this wavelength range.
• Opaque Grey finish: Provides a neutral, professional appearance for visual inspection of tooth anatomy, occlusion and model geometry.

Designed Around Orthodontic Model Production

Orthodontic models need to reproduce the complete dental arch accurately while retaining tooth position, occlusal detail and overall geometry throughout printing and post-processing.

MOLEGRID™ Ortho Model is designed specifically for this task. Its rigid mechanical profile helps the completed model retain its shape during laboratory handling, inspection, treatment planning and suitable downstream production processes.

This focused orthodontic positioning differentiates it from a broader general-purpose dental model resin. It is particularly suited to users whose priority is consistent and repeatable production of orthodontic arches and study models.

Orthodontic Applications

Full-Arch Orthodontic Models

Produce rigid upper and lower arch models with clear tooth anatomy, gingival contours and occlusal detail for routine orthodontic laboratory workflows.

Study and Diagnostic Models

Create physical models for case review, treatment planning, comparison and documentation. The opaque Grey finish provides clear visual presentation of dental anatomy and surface geometry.

Clear-Aligner Production Models

MOLEGRID™ Ortho Model may be used to produce physical models for appropriately validated clear-aligner thermoforming workflows.

The complete process should be tested using the laboratory’s chosen thermoforming material, model design, wall thickness, forming temperature, cycle duration and equipment.

Treatment-Progress Models

Produce sequential physical models representing different stages of orthodontic treatment for laboratory production, clinical reference, training or case communication.

Dental Education and Demonstration

Suitable for orthodontic teaching, practical demonstrations, clinical training and communication between dental technicians, clinicians and students.

Professional Grey Finish

This listing is specifically for MOLEGRID™ Ortho Model Grey in the 1 kg format.

The opaque Grey colour provides a neutral, professional appearance that helps tooth anatomy, occlusal features, gingival contours and overall model geometry remain clearly visible during laboratory inspection.

Kexcelled also manufactures MOLEGRID™ Ortho Model in a Skin colour for users who prefer a more natural model presentation. The Skin version is a separate product and is not supplied through this Grey listing.

When Should You Choose MOLEGRID™ Ortho Model?

MOLEGRID™ Ortho Model is the more focused choice when the main requirement is repeatable production of rigid orthodontic arches, study models and treatment-planning models.

The broader MOLEGRID™ Model resin is intended for a wider range of dental applications, including general working models, diagnostic models and suitable crown-and-bridge or orthodontic workflows.

Choose Ortho Model when orthodontic production, arch stability and precision retention are the principal requirements.

Technical Specifications

Recommended Applications

• Full-arch orthodontic dental models
• Orthodontic study models
• Diagnostic and treatment-planning models
• Sequential treatment-progress models
• Appropriately validated clear-aligner production models
• Clinical reference models
• Orthodontic education and training models
• Dental laboratory and clinician case communication

Use in Clear-Aligner Thermoforming Workflows

MOLEGRID™ Ortho Model may be considered for the production of models used in appropriately validated clear-aligner thermoforming workflows.

Suitability cannot be determined from the resin specification alone. The final result will also depend on:

• The thermoforming material and sheet thickness
• The forming temperature and heating duration
• The pressure or vacuum applied
• The thermoforming equipment
• The printed model’s wall thickness and internal structure
• The model design and drainage features
• The resin washing and post-curing process

A complete test cycle should be carried out before the material is introduced into routine aligner production.

Printer Compatibility

MOLEGRID™ Ortho Model is formulated for compatible resin printers using light sources within the 385–405 nm wavelength range.

It may be suitable for many open-material LCD, MSLA and DLP systems, provided the printer accepts third-party materials and allows suitable control over exposure settings.

Compatibility cannot be confirmed from wavelength alone. Screen intensity, pixel size, layer height, exposure control, model geometry and post-curing equipment will all affect the result.

Complete a small validation print before production use and confirm dimensional accuracy against the original digital model.

Recommended Processing Workflow

1. Mix: Shake or mix the resin thoroughly before use to redistribute any settled pigment.
2. Prepare the model: Confirm model orientation, support placement, wall thickness and drainage before slicing.
3. Print: Use suitable starting parameters for the printer wavelength, light intensity and selected layer height.
4. Validate: Check the first model for dimensional accuracy, surface detail and complete curing before repeat production.
5. Wash: Clean the printed model using the method and solvent stated in the current manufacturer documentation.
6. Dry: Allow the model to dry completely before post-curing.
7. Post-cure: Follow the manufacturer recommended curing procedure. The published mechanical values were measured after a reference post-cure of 10 minutes at 10 mW/cm².
8. Inspect: Confirm complete curing, dimensional accuracy and model suitability before using it within a laboratory production workflow.

Processing requirements may vary according to the printer, wash equipment, curing chamber, model geometry and laboratory environment.

Storage and Safe Handling

• Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
• Store the resin in accordance with the temperature range stated in the current manufacturer documentation.
• Protect the resin from sunlight, UV exposure and excessive heat.
• Wear suitable protective gloves and eye protection when handling uncured resin.
• Avoid direct skin contact with uncured material.
• Read the current Safety Data Sheet before use.
• Keep away from children and unauthorised personnel.
