PrimaCreator Value Orthodontic Model Resin – Skin-Tone Dental Model Resin (1 kg)
Quick summary: PrimaCreator Value Orthodontic Model is a dental model resin designed for printing models used in thermoforming clear aligners, retainers, night guards, and bite blocks, as well as diagnostic models. According to the manufacturer, it withstands temperatures up to 140 °C, making it suitable for pressure thermoforming. It is manufactured to EN71-3 standards and carries RoHS and REACH certification. Compatible with LCD, mono LCD, and DLP printers at 395–405 nm. Available in a 1 kg bottle in skin tone.

Why Does 140 °C Heat Resistance Matter?
During thermoforming, a heated sheet is pressed directly onto the model. If the model softens or warps under the heat, the aligner or retainer won't fit accurately. PrimaCreator states this resin withstands up to 140 °C, so the model holds its shape throughout the pressing process and the sheet accurately reproduces every detail of the dental arch.
What Appliances Can It Be Used For?
The manufacturer recommends it for bite blocks, retainers, night guards, and clear aligners, as well as diagnostic models. It's a cost-effective way to produce models at every stage of treatment without relying on far more expensive orthodontic casting materials.
Why Skin Tone?
An opaque, warm-toned color provides contrast that makes it easy to see the anatomy, trim lines, and margins clearly — and gives the model a natural appearance when presenting it to patients.
Is It Compatible with My Printer?
Yes, as long as your printer operates at 395–405 nm. PrimaCreator lists it as compatible with LCD, mono LCD, and DLP printers such as the Anycubic Photon Mono, Creality Halot, and machines from Phrozen, Zortrax, Wanhao, and Nova3D. Browse compatible printers in our resin 3D printers collection.

Washing & Curing
-
Washing: Use isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or PrimaCreator resin cleaner.
-
Curing: 2–5 minutes in a UV curing station. Sunlight takes 10–20 minutes, or up to 60 minutes on an overcast day. For orthodontic models, a UV curing station delivers consistent, repeatable results.
-
Before thermoforming: Make sure the model is fully cured.
A wash and cure station automates both steps.
Who Is It For?

PrimaCreator Value Orthodontic Model – FAQ
What is it used for?
Printing orthodontic models for thermoforming aligners, retainers, night guards, and bite blocks, as well as diagnostic models.
Is it suitable for thermoforming?
Yes. The manufacturer rates it up to 140 °C, making it compatible with heat-press thermoforming.
Can it be used intraorally?
No. This is a model resin. The aligner or retainer is made from the thermoformed sheet, not from the resin itself.
What certifications does it carry?
It is manufactured to EN71-3 standards and holds RoHS and REACH certification.
Which printers is it compatible with?
Any 395–405 nm LCD, mono LCD, or DLP printer, including Anycubic Photon Mono, Creality Halot, Phrozen, and Zortrax.
What exposure settings should I use?
The manufacturer recommends 4–10 s per layer on mono screens. Fine-tune with a calibration test print.
How do I wash it?
With isopropyl alcohol or PrimaCreator resin cleaner.
How long does curing take?
Between 2 and 5 minutes in a UV curing station.
How does it compare to the ELEGOO Dental Orthodontic?
Both are designed for orthodontic models and have very similar mechanical properties. The main differences are color (skin vs. orange) and the fact that PrimaCreator additionally specifies heat resistance up to 140 °C and EN71-3 certification.
How many models can I get from 1 kg?
It depends on model size and whether you print solid or hollow. Hollow models with drain holes significantly reduce resin consumption.
