	Primotec’s curing light, metalight, has a new handheld model designed to increase flexibility and ease of use in the dental lab.

	The handheld version, like other metalight options, was specifically developed to cure all 

 materials, including metacon light-cured wax, 

 light-cured universal modeling resin, primosplint composite material for night guards, primobase light-cured base plate material and primotray custom impression tray material.

	To allow for long working times, primotec light-cured materials cure at a very low wavelength that does not cure under normal florescent lab lights. Additionally, the materials are engineered to provide distortion-free curing due to constantly low polymerization temperature.

A more portable way to cure

	Engineered to make dental welding easier, faster, efficient and more user-friendly, the third-generation phaser as2 micro pulse arc welding unit features improved micro-electronic pulse shapes, individually defined for the specific alloys, to eliminate potential welding spot cracks. Special pulse shapes in combination with high-frequency overlapping further facilitate welding of palladium and titanium alloys. With 40 preset programs for a range of welding procedures, the user simply selects the alloy type and the energy level with the turn and push controller and starts welding safely and reliably. Power and pulse duration are freely adjustable for precise control of the welding spot diameter and penetration depth.
