Skip the Messy Light-Cure Block-out Resin.
Traditionally, fabricating a bleach tray involves pouring a physical stone model, manually applying blue light-cure block-out resin to create space for the whitening gel, and curing it. This analog process is messy, inconsistent, and highly time-consuming for your technicians. China Dental Design offers a high-volume Bleaching Tray Model CAD Design service. We digitally sculpt the gel reservoirs and block out undercuts directly on the STL file. You simply print the model and thermoform the sheet immediately.
Technical CAD Engineering Specifications
We digitally customize the reservoir parameters to precisely control the volume of whitening gel and protect the patient’s gingiva from chemical burns:
Digital Reservoir Design
- Gel Spacer (Offset): We apply a uniform digital offset (typically 0.5mm – 1.0mm) exclusively on the facial surfaces of the teeth to create a perfect pocket for the whitening gel.
- Gingival Margin Seal: Crucially, the reservoir is designed to stop exactly 1.0mm short of the gingival margin. This creates a tight thermoformed seal, preventing the gel from leaking onto the gums and causing irritation.
Printable Model Optimization
- Undercut Block-out: We automatically fill severe interproximal undercuts so the thermoformed EVA tray can be removed easily without locking onto the printed model.
- Base Design: Models are designed with a flat, solid base optimized for vacuum or pressure thermoforming machines (like Biostar or MiniSTAR).
Two Distinct Manufacturing Workflows
Our Bleaching Tray Model CAD Design team supports both standard and advanced digital workflows:
- Standard (Thermoform): We design the Model. You print the model using cheap draft resin and suck-down a traditional EVA sheet. (Highly recommended for cost efficiency in high-volume production).
- Direct Print Splint: We design the Tray itself (The Shell). You skip the model entirely and print the tray directly using flexible biocompatible resin (e.g., KeySplint Soft or SprintRay NightGuard Flex).
Seamless Overnight Digital Workflow
- Secure Upload: Upload Intraoral Scans via our 100% HIPAA-compliant portal.
- Prescribe: Select “Bleaching Tray Model” and specify your preferred reservoir thickness (e.g., 0.5mm).
- Expert Design: We execute the design overnight natively in 3Shape or Exocad.
- Download & Produce: Download the print-ready STL model file the next morning. Print the model and thermoform immediately.
Streamline Your Ortho & Hygiene Departments
Batch process your whitening cases effortlessly. Send us 10 intraoral scans at the end of your day, and download 10 ready-to-print models the next morning.
