Its capsule-based material system ensures a user-friendly, highly intuitive user experience. Each capsule (or cartridge) of resin contains a pre-measured quantity of ceramic-filled resin. Scanning its QR code is all it takes for the printer to configure itself automatically, stir the resin, and start printing. A single capsule yields up to three restorations.

Fully integrated with SHINING Flow, SHINING 3D's cloud-based scan-design-print platform, restoration files move from design to print without leaving the platform.
