Developed in collaboration with Nexa3D, the BEGO Varseo XL 3-D printer boasts five times the print area, six times the speed, and 10 times the volume of comparable 3-D printers, according to the companies. It leverages Nexa3D’s proprietary LSPc technology to accurately print at high speeds, reducing the time to produce dental restorations from hours to minutes.

The Varseo XL is designed to print with the full range of BEGO dental materials, including models, trays, permanent restorations, bridges, crowns, surgical guides, and CAD/CAM applications. Its cognitive software and integrated sensors optimize performance, provide detailed predictive and prescriptive diagnostics, and perform continuous monitoring.

Also, the Varseo XL uses a patented structured light matrix capable of top speeds of 1Z centimeter per minute, increasing dental lab production throughput to tens of parts per build while reducing cycle times from hours to minutes. Nexas3D will manufacture the printer, while BEGO will market and sell it under the Varseo XL label.
