Whip Mix 3D Print Grey Resin
Specifications
- Indications for Use: Producing drilling guides used in dental surgery
- Compatibility: DLP and LCD printers with 385nm and 405nm light sources
Storage and Transportation
- Store VeriGUIDETM in the original packaging at room temperature in a dry area.
- Always keep the container tightly sealed and close it immediately after each use.
- Avoid exposing VeriGUIDETM to any light source, as even minimal light can induce polymerization.
- If the resin is stored in a tray, stir it before each print using a plastic or paper card to ensure a homogenous mixture.
- Do not use the product past the expiration date. The lot number and expiration date are indicated on the packaging.
- Transport packages at room temperature and away from light in a tightly sealed container to prevent leakage.
Design Recommendation
For design recommendations regarding wall thickness, internal offset, block
out angle, retention amount, and offset from sleeve, please refer to the
validated equipment section.

Processing
- Thoroughly shake the VeriGuIDETM bottle before use.
- Avoid adding supports to the intaglio surface.
- Avoid printing with the end of the surgical guide arch attached to the build plate in any print orientation to prevent failure at the tip of the arch.
- After the build process is finished, post-processing is required. If immediate post-processing is not possible, leave the printed objects in the printer until ready.
Post Processing
- Once the print job is complete, remove the build platform from the printer and carefully remove the printed objects from the platform.
- Rinse the printed objects with Isopropyl alcohol using an ultrasonic bath/washing unit for 5 minutes to eliminate any excess resin.
- Rinse the printed objects with Isopropyl alcohol in a second fresh ultrasonic bath/washing unit for an additional 5 minutes.
- Do not immerse the printed parts in alcohol for more than 10 minutes to prevent material deterioration.
- Allow prints to dry at room temperature or use compressed air to remove excess alcohol.
- Place the printed objects in a light curing unit, such as Otoflash G171, for 6,000 flashes.
- Check for cured debris in the tray after each print job and use a paint strainer to filter out any debris that could potentially cause damage to the tray or printed objects.
- Use a crosscut carbide bur at a slow speed to remove the remaining printed support pins.
- Deviation from the described manufacturing process may result in different mechanical and optical properties of the material.

Indications for Use
Whip Mix VeriGuide™ is a 3D print resin for producing drilling guides used
in dental surgery. VeriGuide™ is compatible with DLP and LCD printers
featuring 385nm and 405nm light sources.
Storage and Transportation
- VeriGuide™ must be stored in the original packaging at room temperature in a dry area.
- Always keep the container tightly sealed and close the container immediately after each use.
- Do not expose VeriGuide™ to any light source. A minimal amount of light can induce polymerization (solidification).
- Resin that is stored in a tray must be stirred before each print using a plastic or paper card (similar to a business card), to ensure a homogenous mixture.
- Do not use the product past the expiration date.
- The lot number and expiration date are indicated on VeriGuide™ packaging. In case of questions or concerns, please refer to the lot number.
- Packages are ideally transported at room temperature and away from light in a tightly sealed container to prevent leakage.
Design Recommendation
- Wall Thickness
- 2 mm
- Internal offset
- ≥ 0.1 mm
- Block out angle
- 0°
- Retention amount
- 0 mm
- Offset from Sleeve
- 0.10 mm

Processing
- When printing with VeriGuide™ 3D Print Resin, make sure the resin is at a temperature between 20°C and 30°C. Extreme high or low temperatures could potentially affect the accuracy of the printed models or cause failure of the printed objects.
- VeriGuide™ bottle must be shaken thoroughly before use.
- Don’t add supports to the intaglio surface.
- Don’t print with the end of the surgical guide arch attached to the build plate with any print orientation because failure could happen at the tip of the arch.
- After the build process is finished, post-processing is required. If this cannot be immediately completed, leave the printed objects in the printer until ready to post process.
Post Processing
-
When the print job is complete, remove the build platform from the printer, and then carefully remove the printed objects from the platform.
-
The printed object must be rinsed with Isopropyl alcohol using an ultrasonic bath/washing unit for 5 minutes to eliminate any excess resin.
-
Printed objects must be rinsed with Isopropyl alcohol in a second fresh ultrasonic bath/washing unit for an additional 5 minutes.
NOTE : Do not immerse the printed parts in alcohol for more than 10 minutes, as prolonged exposure may cause the material to deteriorate. -
To remove excess alcohol, leave prints to dry at room temperature (or compressed air can also be used).
-
Place the printed objects in the light curing unit such as Otoflash G171 for 6,000 flashes.
-
Look for cured debris in the tray after each print job. A paint strainer can be used to filter out any debris. Printing with cured debris could potentially cause damage to the tray or the printed objects.
-
Use crosscut carbide bur at a slow speed to remove the remaining printed support pins.
-
Deviations from the described manufacturing process may lead to different mechanical and optical properties of the material.
-
The surgical guide can be disinfected and is compatible with sterilization methods such as steam/autoclave (up to 135°C for 5 minutes), ethylene oxide, and gamma irradiation. Be sure to follow sterilization guidelines. Please note that gamma irradiation may cause discoloration.
