229: Blending Dental and Technology with Wolfgang & Michael Teiniker

Elvis Dahl & Barb Warner — Mon, 15 Aug 2022 06:00:00 -0400

Two brothers with extensive dental experience put together Blender for Dental, an affordable alternative to the other design software in our industry. Brothers Wolfgang & Michael Teiniker learned the craft in South Africa. Wolfgang continued his career in Germany, and then they connected again in New Zealand. You can say they know a thing of two about dental technology. Michael started to play around with a program called Blender. It wasn't long before he realized that it could be used in the dental lab industry. Now they are both exclusively working on and maintaining Blender for Dental to offer a design software made by technicians for technicians.

Whip Mix’s new VeriWhirl resin cleaning station is the ideal piece of equipment to use in the 3D printed resin post process. It’s oscillating, multi-speed stirrer produces a tornado-like vortex every 30-seconds, and guarantees efficient, effective and powerful cleaning whether the units are individual or still attached to the build plate.

The two alcohol baths make an effective step-wash system. It cleans more efficiently and there is less alcohol needed, since it is re-used for both a fresh bath and a dirty bath.

The VeriWhirl's intelligent design offers features such as Mode, Time, and Start/Stop button display which gives the operator full and automatic control of the cleaning process. A mesh basket used in the wash container makes it easy to keep track of small printed parts when cleaning. The affordable unit’s one-year warranty ensures peace-of-mind for the owner.

Visit whipmix.com or call (800) 626-5651 for more information about this great new product.
