    Arch Vats and Arch Plates reduce the scraping, vat cleaning, resin draining, and reset steps that make conventional dental printing feel messy and slow.

    Use one cleaner workflow for models, guards, splints, trays, retainers, guides, denture workflows, try-ins, and other arch-sized applications.

    Move between model, splint, guide, tray, denture, or appliance resins without treating every material change like a full benchtop cleanup.

    Use the dental resin that fits your workflow, indication, and practice preferences while OCTOdent continues publishing recommended settings for compatible workflows.

    Modular OCTOpod platform

    One printer. Swappable workflows.

    Start with Arch. Add Crown when you’re ready. Swap OCTOpod modules on the same compatible printer — no second printer or full printer reconfiguration required.

    Actual workflow, print time, material use, and cleanup depend on printer, resin, part geometry, layer settings, post-processing protocol, and clinical requirements.

    Everyday Dental Printing

    From full-vat friction to everyday workflow

    More printing. Less resin-management overhead.

    Traditional dental printing can make every job feel like a benchtop cleanup project: drain the vat, scrape the plate, filter resin, clean tools, switch materials, and reset before the next appliance. OCTOpod Arch is designed to reduce that friction so everyday dental printing feels easier to repeat.

    Traditional Dental Printing

    Full-vat workflow friction

    Traditional setup pushes more cleanup and exposed resin handling into every material change and reset.

    • Shared vats across materials and jobs
    • Build plate scraping and cleanup
    • Resin draining and filtering
    • More exposed resin during workflow changes
    • Material switching slows down production
    • Cleanup can discourage smaller or same-day jobs
    With OCTOpod Arch

    Cleaner everyday dental printing

    A broader-format OCTOpod workflow built to reduce reset burden without closing off material choice.

    • Load the Arch workflow components
    • Print models, guards, splints, trays, guides, or appliance parts
    • Remove the printed part with less reset time
    • Reduce scraping, draining, filtering, and vat-cleaning steps
    • Switch materials and workflows with less friction
    • Keep more dental printing inside the practice
    One platform · Two workflows

    Choose the right OCTOpod system.

    Crown and Arch run on the same patent-pending OCTOpod platform. Start with the workflow you need today, then expand later by swapping OCTOpod modules on the same compatible printer.

      OCTOdent recommends Keystone Industries KeyPrint materials as a starting point where appropriate for Arch workflows, including models, guards, splints, trays, guides, retainers, and denture-related prints.

      Clinician responsibility: select the appropriate resin, follow the resin manufacturer's IFU, and use validated print, wash, and cure settings for the intended indication.

    • Use the wash, cure, and finishing workflow appropriate for your resin, part type, and manufacturer instructions.

    • Gloves, IPA or the manufacturer-recommended cleaning chemistry, finishing tools, and standard safety practices remain part of the workflow.

    • Appliance design, material selection, post-processing, and clinical verification remain the responsibility of the clinician or lab using the system.

    Everyday applications

    One cleaner workflow for the parts dental teams print most.

    OCTOpod Arch is positioned for broader everyday dental printing, from non-patient-contact models to appliance and denture workflows that benefit from lower reset friction.

    Models & planning

    Thermoforming models, orthodontic models, diagnostic models, treatment-planning models, crown/bridge/implant planning models, aligner workflows, and burnout models for casting.

    Guards & retainers

    Nightguards, splints, sportguards, bleaching trays, and retainers for everyday restorative and appliance workflows.

    Guides & trays

    Surgical guides, indirect bonding trays, impression trays, and related arch-sized workflow components where repeatability matters.

    Denture workflows

    Denture bases, denture teeth, try-ins, gingival masks, and related setup workflows that benefit from a cleaner material-change process.

    Use cases depend on printer compatibility, resin selection, post-processing protocol, and applicable clinical requirements.

    Open-resin workflow

    Use the resin your workflow requires.

    OCTOpod Arch is designed as an open-resin workflow. Choose the dental resin appropriate for your indication, appliance, and clinical protocol, and follow the manufacturer instructions for printing, washing, curing, and finishing.

    Open-resin flexibility

    Choose the material that fits the appliance, indication, and workflow you are trying to run rather than being locked into one closed-system resin stack.

    Compatibility and post-processing still matter

    OCTOpod Arch is designed around compatible desktop MSLA printers. Select the version that matches your printer configuration, then wash, cure, finish, and verify parts according to the resin IFU and the intended indication.

    FAQ

    Questions clinicians usually ask before bringing OCTOpod Arch into the practice.

    OCTOpod Arch is designed to make everyday dental printing cleaner and easier to repeat, but printer selection, resin choice, and post-processing still matter.

    OCTOpod Arch is designed for broader-format dental printing: models, guards, splints, trays, retainers, surgical guides, denture workflows, try-ins, and other arch-sized parts that fit the supported build area.

    OCTOpod Crown is focused on small-format, same-visit permanent restorative workflows such as crowns, inlays, onlays, and small bridges. OCTOpod Arch is built for everyday dental printing applications like models, guards, splints, trays, retainers, guides, and denture-related workflows.

    Traditional full-vat workflows often require more resin handling, build plate scraping, vat cleaning, resin filtering, and material-change cleanup. OCTOpod Arch uses a modular vat and plate workflow designed to reduce reset friction between prints and make material changes less cumbersome.

    No. OCTOpod Arch is designed as an open-resin workflow for compatible 405 nm dental resins. The clinician or lab is responsible for selecting the appropriate resin for the indication and following the resin manufacturer’s print, wash, cure, and finishing instructions.

    Use a dental resin appropriate for the part you are printing and the intended indication. OCTOdent recommends starting with published OCTOpod settings and vetted resin workflows when available, but final material selection and clinical use remain the responsibility of the clinician or lab.

    Arch Plates are intended to reduce scraping and reset friction by giving the printed part a dedicated build surface. Arch Vats are designed as low-cost, limited-use components. Always follow OCTOdent’s current IFU and product guidance for reuse, disposal, and resin handling.

    No. OCTOpod Arch reduces setup and reset friction, but printed parts still require appropriate washing, curing, finishing, inspection, and clinical verification according to the resin manufacturer’s IFU and the intended indication.

    The current OCTOpod Arch configurations are built around the Elegoo Mars 4 Ultra and Phrozen Sonic Mini 8KS. Select the product variant that matches your printer. The Mars 4 Ultra is the recommended starting point for most new OCTOpod Arch users.

    Not necessarily. OCTOpod Crown and OCTOpod Arch are part of the same OCTOpod platform, but each workflow uses different vat and build plate components. If you plan to use both workflows, follow OCTOdent setup guidance for changing between Crown and Arch configurations.

    OCTOpod Arch is not trying to replace every high-volume lab printer. It is designed for practices that want a cleaner, lower-friction way to print common dental parts in-house without turning every print into a full-vat cleanup workflow.

    The Arch Starter Kit includes the OCTOpod Arch system components plus one Open Arch Refill and one Full Arch Refill. The refills include limited-use arch vats, disposable arch build plates, and resin syringes. A compatible printer, dental resin, wash/cure equipment, PPE, and standard resin-handling supplies are sold separately.

    Both may use it, but the workflow is especially suited for dental offices that want to bring more everyday printing in-house while keeping setup, cleanup, and material switching manageable.
