Engineered for the Operatory
Patent Pending Technology
OCTOpod™ is a one-of-a-kind system. Our patent pending design is the only disposable micro-vat crown printing platform on the market. No other system works like this.
Zero Cleanup
Disposable Crown Vats eliminate solvent washing entirely. Peel, toss, and move on to the next patient.
No Resin Waste
Each mini-vat holds enough resin for a crown, a bridge, a space maintainer, multiple inlays, onlays, or veneers. No pouring back. No filtering resin. No degraded leftover resin.
Open Resin System
Use any FDA-approved crown resin from any manufacturer in any shade. No RFID cartridges. No proprietary lock-in. You choose your material.
No Odor
Only a few mL’s of resin per vat means virtually zero VOCs in your operatory. No stinking up your lab or clinical space like large open-vat printers.
No Resin Settling
Disposable single-use vats eliminate resin settling issues entirely. No more scraping settled resin from the bottom of your vat between prints.
No FEP Damage
Settled resin in traditional vats damages FEP film during removal. With disposable Crown Vats, FEP damage from resin maintenance is eliminated.
No Discoloration
Some resins discolor build plates on incompatible metals. OCTOpod™ Crown Plates are disposable — discoloration is never a concern.
WiFi File Transfer
Send sliced files wirelessly to the Mars 4 Ultra over WiFi. No USB drives. No manual file transfers. Design, slice, and print from your workstation.
Modular by Design
The Crown Vat Hub accepts future module types. Your Pod Frame and Z-Mount investment is future-proof.
Clinical Accuracy
Powered by the Mars 4 Ultra's 9K mono LCD — the same precision resin printer used in labs worldwide.
Free CAD Software
Design with BlueSkyPlan at no cost, or integrate with your existing dental CAD workflow.
What Dentists Are Saying
"The OCTOpod system changes everything about how I think about chairside crowns. The disposable vats mean I spend zero time on cleanup, I just print and move on to the next patient."
Dr. Matt Bateman
Nacogdoches, TX
"Being able to use any resin I want without being locked into a proprietary system, that alone sold me. The fact that it prints 4 crowns in 10 minutes is just the cherry on top."
Dr. Viet Hoang
Pittsburg, KS
