What kind of material is Tera Harz TC-80DP for maxillofacial surgery? What is its composition? Where can I view SEM images of this material? Thank you!
a South Korean-based manufacturer of 3D printable photopolymer resins, has developed a dental 3D printing material brand, Tera Harz, with the aim of overcoming the limitations posed by other 3D printable materials currently used within the dental sector. Graphy CEO Unseob Sim said, “Graphy’s advanced technology has to date attracted investment of $15 million.”
Founded in 2017, Graphy has won numerous awards and registered several patents for its technology, which seeks to improve the safety and mass production of new materials for the 3D printing dental market. Having previously released its customizable S Plastic 3D printer UV Resin range for dental models and surgical guides, the firm is now looking to further improve the technical performance of 3D printable dental materials with its Tera Harz brand for clear aligners.
As the technologies and materials for 3D printing dental prostheses and aligners improve, the potential applications grow increasingly wider. 3D printing has been employed by several firms operating within the dental sector as a means of increasing the accessibility and affordability of orthodontic care. According to last year’s U.S. National Health and Examination Survey, 65% of Americans could benefit from orthodontic treatment, but many never receive it due to cost and accessibility barriers.

David Athisayam What is this material called? What is its composition? Where are the SEM images of it?
The material is Graphy's Tera Harz material
Composition: Tera hard TC-80 is an LED curing polyurethane based resin suitable for 3D printing characterised by high tensile strength, high abrasion resistance and non toxicity
Tera Harz TC-80DP, the permanent dental prosthesis (crown and bridge) material, boasts the highest strength incomparable to other companies’ prosthesis materials, with 350Mpa in the Bi-axial Flexural Strength test (ISO 6872 standard). It is the latest 3D printable photopolymer permanent dental prosthetic material that can directly print customized dental crown and bridge for each patient in the clinic to make an efficient treatment.
Tera hard TC-80 is a 3D printing material best for zirconia and crowns and bridges..proven to be best prosthetic materials and also made up of LED curing polyurethane which comprises and it's composition based resin suitable for 3D printing characterised by high tensile strength, high abrasion resistance and non toxicity
