Zylo3D provides ZyloDent, an all‑in‑one DLP 3D printing platform that combines additive manufacturing, automated washing, drying, and UV curing within a single sealed enclosure, using a robotic arm for material handling. The system enables chairside, same‑day fabrication of dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, and aligners, reducing labor, turnaround time, and resin handling errors for dental practices.

Problem
Dental offices often rely on external labs or multi‑step in‑house workflows that require separate 3D printers, washing stations, dryers, and curing units. The fragmented process increases resin handling, extends turnaround time, and adds labor overhead, limiting same‑day delivery of crowns, bridges, and aligners.
Solution
Zylo3D delivers ZyloDent, a patented all‑in‑one automated 3D printing platform that integrates additive manufacturing, post‑processing wash, dry, and UV cure cycles within a single compact enclosure. The system uses an industrial DLP optical engine with adaptive speed control to produce high‑resolution dental restorations in minutes. Built‑in robotic handling eliminates manual resin transfer and reduces human error, enabling chairside, same‑day fabrication directly from the patient’s appointment. The closed‑loop workflow requires no prior printing expertise, allowing dentists to streamline production, improve patient experience, and capture additional revenue per visit.
Target Audience
The primary customers are general dentists, prosthodontists, and orthodontic practices that perform in‑office restorative manufacturing and seek to offer same‑day treatment. Dental labs looking to consolidate post‑processing equipment also benefit from the integrated solution.
