Carbon, a leader in 3D printing technology, has announced the full launch of FP3D, an innovative flexible, removable partial denture (FRPD) resin. The groundbreaking new material is the first dental resin to incorporate Carbon’s proven dual-cure chemistry. It delivers exceptional durability, translucency, dimensional accuracy, and flexibility, all while providing lifelike aesthetics, a better patient fit, and significant cost advantages over traditional fabrication methods.
FP3D is the result of a multi-year development effort in collaboration with Keystone Industries, driven by direct feedback from dental labs seeking a printable alternative to labour-intensive traditional methods. The result is an FDA-cleared Class II medical device that delivers exceptional levels of durability and comfort.
At the core of FP3D’s performance is Carbon’s dual-cure chemistry, previously validated in high-performance applications such as protective sports equipment, high-performance footwear midsoles, and customised bike saddles.
FP3D is now commercially available in the United States and Canada. With FDA clearance secured, Carbon turns to the process for European regulatory approvals and expects to expand commercial availability across Europe in 2026.
