Most dental labs make a range of thermoformed appliances. Some are tiny (1 man in a room) some are large (100 people in a factory). But all labs face a common problem: Their ability to take on work is limited by their capacity.
Small labs can be overworked and unable to offer certain services due to a small team size. Large labs want to scale up production to grow their business but don’t have the space or staff.
Pressure formers that exist on the market today only make one appliance at a time.
The Multiplier is a large format pressure former that can make multiple appliances in a single cycle - delivering a core value to labs: Time savings through enhanced productivity. Unlock your lab’s potential with a large format pressure former that can make multiple appliances in a single cycle.
George Szekely, a dental lab based in London, started using the Multiplier in June and has already saved hundreds of technician hours.
“We handle all our production in-house, and since purchasing the Multiplier... we've significantly reduced our turnaround times. Now, we can produce nightguards, retainers, aligners, and bleaching trays in just a quarter of the time. The pressure is off—we no longer need three technicians for the same tasks, and our team is happier and more efficient. We’re saving 5 hours each day, which adds up to over 1,200 hours per year.”
– Janine, Co-owner and Lab Manager at George Szekely
Bridge Dental, a lab based near Bournemouth, started using the Multiplier earlier this year and has tripled their hourly production capacity with the machine.
“All of our pressure formers at the moment are single, you can blow down one at a time. With this one you can blow down 20 at once meaning we can do 200-300 in a single hour. That one technician that would normally be blowing down all of these appliances can get back to the bench to start trimming them and finishing them to get them out to the customer quicker”
– George Wheeler, Lab Manager at Bridge Dental
