Larger build volume

The Sonic XL 4K 2022 features a larger build volume, allowing you to print more dental models in a single session.

Dental-oriented software

The new version of the Sonic XL 4K comes with Dental Synergy Slicer 3D printing software that simplifies the workflow in a dental-focused setting and boasts a simple and user-friendly interface.

 

Heating and air filtration system

The printer is equipped with active heating to improve print quality and stability, as well as an air purification system added for safety and comfort.
