HeyGears UltraCraft A3D Now Validated for KeyOrtho IBT® Printing

2026-07-25Source · HeyGears9 languages

HeyGears officially validates KeyOrtho IBT® resin on the UltraCraft A3D, expanding digital orthodontic workflow options for dental labs.

What's New

HeyGears has officially validated KeyOrtho IBT® for use with the UltraCraft A3D dental 3D printer. This means orthodontic practices and dental labs can now print indirect bonding trays on the A3D with a fully tested, approved printer-material combination.

About KeyOrtho IBT®

KeyOrtho IBT® is a biocompatible resin developed for fabricating indirect bonding trays (IBTs) — the transfer appliances used to precisely position orthodontic brackets onto teeth. The material is valued for its translucency, flexibility, and non-stick release properties, which help streamline the bracket bonding process and reduce chair time.

About the UltraCraft A3D

The UltraCraft A3D is HeyGears' high-volume dental 3D printer built for scalable, automated production. It features a large build volume and supports fully automated resin refilling and part removal, making it well-suited for labs that require consistent, high-throughput output across multiple applications.

Why This Validation Matters

Validated printer-material pairings are critical in dental 3D printing — they ensure predictable results, maintain biocompatibility standards, and reduce the risk of print failures. With this new approval, A3D users gain a reliable path to producing orthodontic IBTs within an integrated digital workflow, from design through to finished appliance.
