After introducing the first of their line of Perfactory (a portmanteau of Personal & Factory) 3D printers in 2002,
Their latest announcement is for the release of the new Perfactory Vida 3D printer in their 
Due to the way it 3D prints in voxels (with a voxel resolution ranging from 25 micron to 150 micron), and not layer by layer, the surfaces of the printed models show no signs of stair-stepping, thus reducing post-processing and improving quality. The Vida can also easily use a variety of different materials, which you can quickly swap in and out with no wastage, each suited for a specific application. The E-Appliance M material can be used for the production of orthodontic appliances using a special salt-and-pepper technique, the E-Denstone Peach M to build highly accurate models for indirect bonding, E-Partial M for wax-like partial dentures that can be cast directly in semi-precious material, E-Guide M for highly accurate and transparent dental surgical drill guides, and E-Guard M for the production of accurate bite splints and night guards.

The Perfactory Vida was introduced at the American Association of Orthodontics 2015 Annual Session at booth #3121, Moscone Center, San Francisco, California. And, soon, we may see it in orthodontic labs around the world.
