Rapid Shape and VITA Validate VITA VIONIC materials
for Dental 3D Printing
Heimsheim/Bad Säckingen, April 28, 2025 – Rapid Shape, a leading provider of innovative 3D printing solutions for the dental industry, announces the successful validation of three premium VITA VIONIC materials for use with its 3D printing systems. In close collaboration with VITA Zahnfabrik, VITA VIONIC DENT RESIN, VITA VIONIC BASE RESIN IMPACT, and VITA VIONIC TRY-IN RESIN have been extensively tested and approved for precise and safe use in the digital denture workflow.
With this validation, Rapid Shape expands its portfolio of certified dental materials by adding high-performance resins for the additive manufacturing of complete 3D printed dentures—from try-ins to final restorations.
