Asiga MAX 2 UV – high-precision DLP dental 3D printer for laboratories
The Asiga MAX 2 UV is a professional 385 nm DLP dental 3D printer, designed for laboratories looking for reliable, precise and repeatable production across demanding dental applications.
Thanks to its open material system, SPS™ Smart Positioning System technology and Asiga Composer software, it enables the production of models, surgical guides, splints, castable parts and prosthetic components with extensive freedom in resin selection.
Why choose the Asiga MAX 2 UV for a dental laboratory?
The Asiga MAX 2 UV is not just another desktop 3D printer.
It is a dental additive manufacturing platform designed for laboratories that want to secure their digital workflow, reduce print failures and retain the freedom to work with professional resins from different manufacturers.
Its main value is based on three essential points: consistent precision, production repeatability and material freedom.
For a laboratory, this means less dependency on a closed ecosystem, greater flexibility in material costs and better adaptation to different workflows:
- orthodontics,
- implantology,
- removable prosthetics,
- working models or casting models.
Key benefits for dental technicians
- 385 nm DLP technology suitable for high-precision dental resins.
- 62 µm pixel size for fine details on models, guides and splints.
- SPS™ Smart Positioning System for precise control of each layer.
- Open system allowing the use of many qualified resins.
- Asiga Composer software with lifetime updates included according to manufacturer configuration.
- Compact format suitable for dental laboratories, equipped clinics and CAD/CAM centers.
What can you produce with the Asiga MAX 2 UV?
- Dental models for prosthetics, orthodontics and aligners.
- Surgical guides with suitable biocompatible resins.
- Splints and occlusal appliances depending on validated materials.
- Castable parts for casting and laboratory work.
- Digital wax-ups, mock-ups, try-ins and esthetic checks.
- Denture bases and prosthetic components depending on compatible resins.
385 nm DLP technology: precision and stability
DLP technology projects each layer uniformly using a digital optical system. This approach provides excellent repeatability, especially important for laboratories regularly printing series of models, guides or splints.
The 385 nm UV wavelength is highly valued in dental applications because it provides polymerization suitable for many professional resins and helps achieve sharp details on printed parts.
SPS™ Smart Positioning System: intelligent layer control
Asiga’s SPS™ Smart Positioning System controls layer formation during printing. The objective is to obtain regular layer thickness, improved vertical accuracy and superior production stability.
For the laboratory, this means more reliable production, fewer variations between prints and better control over work requiring precise fitting.

Production workflow: print speed depending on dental applications
Actual speed always depends on the resin, layer thickness, orientation, platform loading, resin temperature and post-processing protocol. The value of the Asiga MAX 2 UV is that it allows regular and controlled production by adapting settings to each indication.
| Application | Priority | Common setting | Indicative production | Laboratory objective |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orthodontic models | Speed + volume | Thicker layers | Fast production per platform | Aligners, thermoforming, control models |
| Working models | Precision + stability | Intermediate layers | Medium time | Fixed prosthetics, fit control, dies |
| Surgical guides | Safety + biocompatibility | Validated material profile | Medium to long time | Guided implantology with strict protocol |
