A look at the Asiga PICO2 3D printer

Asiga 3D printers are fully compatible with leading 3D scanners and CAD software, such as 3Shape, Exocad and Dental Wings.

They operate in an open system that allows users to use any suitable resin material they choose, including a full line of Whip Mix VeriBuild^® Resins. Nesting software is included on all Asiga printers at no additional cost.

What Steve Edmonds, President/Owner of Edmonds Dental Prosthetics, Inc., says about Asiga PICO2:

"Whip Mix contacted Edmonds Dental Prosthetics, Inc. and asked us to beta test the new Asiga high resolution 3D printer. We received the smaller PICO2 for initial testing and it quickly became our go-to for printing quads and crown carriers due to the consistency and accuracy of the print runs. We then received the larger PRO2 unit to beta test and, after some tweaking in the printer software, we experienced the same consistent results. We are very happy with the accuracy and overall quality of the products that we are able to build in the Asiga high resolution 3D printers.”
