3D printers

[RosaML]

Dear Colleagues,

We are looking into buying a 3D printer to start printing teeth for our students to use on the phantom heads to be able to make them to what we really need. However we are unsure what type of printer would be the best one to use. Ideally we would like to be able to print in different colours (enamel, dentine, caries, pulp). 
Would you be able to advise on which printers work best for this?

Thank you for you help!

Hi Rosa, 
Welcome to the Forum.
hopefully members will reply with some helpful information.
things that may help people reply are potential budget volume of printing  for instance.
we have 2 types of printer, the S% ultimaker which we use for base models and demo's of things like morphology  brige concepts. the material is not good for drilling but is cheap to produce these types of tools.
we have a Photocentric OPUs which has a large build plate so i can print 80 teeth in one go, whcihc saves labour time but the resin is not water based and the managment of the tank and material is harder.
we are looking at the phozen machine for future use with water soluble marial and small plate  as a compromise.
hope this helps start the chat.
