- Resolution: 62 µm
- Technology: DLP with 385 nm UV LED
- Materials: Open system, compatible with over 500 materials
- Connectivity: WiFi and Ethernet
- Software: Asiga Composer-software for easy print preparation
- Features: SPS® technology for precise layer formation and a user-friendly interface
Asiga Max 2 compared to Max 1
- Improved user interface
- Transparent mode for printing clear, transparent materials
- Heated print chamber for temperature-sensitive materials
- UltraGLOSS™ technology for glossy, crystal-clear surfaces without intensive polishing
The Asiga Max 2 offers more advanced features than the Max 1, such as the updated interface, transparent printing options, and a heated print chamber. However, both models are suitable for professional use and provide an open material platform.
In practice, these printers are used daily to produce various dental instruments, such as study, try-in, and implant models, as well as for medical applications in both MDR-certified class 1 and class 2a materials, including splinting fluids, crowns and bridges, orthodontic tools, and gingiva masks.
Asiga Ultra advanced desktop 3D printer

- 50 µm for balance between speed and detail
The Asiga Ultra dekstop dental printer large size.
Key Features of the Asiga Ultra (50 & 32):
- Technology: DLP with a 4K projector and 385 nm UV LED
- Materials: Open material platform, compatible with over 500 qualified resins from top manufacturers such as Detax, Pro3dure, Keystone, and Nextdent
User-Friendly Features:
-
Touchless Entry: Easy access thanks to sensor technology, with no direct contact required.
-
Magnetic Build Platform Holder: Simplifies workflow by allowing quick swapping of the build platform holder without calibration.
-
Transparent Mode: Option to print crystal-clear materials with high precision.
-
Infrared Heating System: Heats the resin bath to 70°C, optimizing the performance of temperature-sensitive materials.
With these advanced features, the Asiga Ultra is one of the most versatile and reliable printers in the dental sector.
Asiga Pro 4K large size printer
Asiga Pro 4K
The Asiga Pro 4K is a professional DLP 3D printer that combines advanced technology for high precision, reliability, and speed in production environments. With a build volume up to three times larger than the Asiga Max models, the Pro 4K is ideal for applications in dentistry, audiology, the jewelry industry, and other sectors that require detailed and accurate 3D prints.
Key Features of the Asiga Pro 4K:
- Build Volume: Available in three models:
- Pro 4K45: 122 x 69 x 200 mm
- Pro 4K65: 176 x 99 x 200 mm
- Pro 4K80: 217 x 122 x 200 mm
- Difference from the Asiga Max 1: The Pro 4K is faster and more powerful, with a larger production capacity due to the bigger projection and a larger build platform.
Asiga Max X - precision printer
Asiga Max X
The Asiga Max X is an advanced DLP 3D printer, ideal for applications that require exceptional precision, such as microfluidics, jewelry production, and scientific research. The printer offers flexible resolution options of 27, 35, or 43 microns, allowing users to choose the right balance between detail and speed. In dentistry, the Max X is often used for printing permanent or temporary precision crowns and small bridges.
Key features of the Asiga Max X:
- Resolution: Configurable resolutions of 27 µm, 35 µm, and 43 µm for exceptional detail definition.
Software
The Asiga printers (Ultra, Max 1, Max 2, Max X, and Pro 4K) come with the Asiga Composer software, which offers easy operation for multiple printers and material profiles. The software is license-free and can be installed on multiple workstations without additional costs.
