The PioCreat PioNext Mini is an all-in-one dental 3D printer that combines printing, washing and curing in a single compact system. Discover its features, clinical applications and the price currently on offer.

Anyone working in a dental practice knows how much time matters. Every hour spent waiting for an aligner, a surgical guide or a diagnostic model is an hour the patient waits — and often a resource the practice loses. The PioCreat PioNext Mini was designed precisely to close this gap: it prints, washes and cures in a single compact system, designed for in-house production right at the chair.

What the PioCreat PioNext Mini is and who it is for

The PioNext Mini is an industrial-class resin 3D printer, designed specifically for the dental sector. Unlike consumer printers adapted to dentistry, this machine integrates the printing module, washing and UV curing into a single chassis — removing the need to buy and manage three separate devices.

The target is clear: dental practices, orthodontic centres, dental laboratories and dentists who want to bring the production of dental devices in-house, cutting lead times and per-unit costs.

It is not a machine for those who want to "try out" 3D printing. It is a professional working tool, with certified materials and a workflow designed for everyday clinical use.

Main technical features

The PioNext Mini uses LCD/MSLA technology with a highly uniform UV light source — the same design logic as laboratory machines, in a compact format that fits easily onto a practice's workbench.

Among the features that make a difference in dentistry:

• All-in-one system: printing, washing and curing in a single device. No manual transfer between different machines, no risk of cross-contamination between stages.
• Compatibility with certified dental resins: the machine accepts resins for diagnostic models, surgical guides, aligners, temporary prostheses and other intraoral devices — provided you use materials compliant with MDR regulations.
• Compact format: designed for practices that do not have room for a fully equipped laboratory. It fits on a standard worktop and requires no special installation.
• Repeatable production: the calibration system and control software guarantee consistent results from one session to the next, which is essential when producing devices that must fit the patient's anatomy precisely.

Why in-house production changes the way a practice works

The traditional model has the practice sending impressions or STL files to an external laboratory and waiting 2–5 working days. With a machine like the PioNext Mini, the same device can be ready in a few hours — often within the same appointment.

This has concrete effects on three fronts:

Patient experience: fewer intermediate appointments, faster treatments, greater perceived satisfaction. A patient who receives the surgical guide on the same day comes back with higher expectations — and they are met.

Cost-effectiveness: the cost per print of a model or a guide produced in-house is significantly lower than the cost of buying it from an external laboratory. The break-even point depends on volumes, but for practices with at least 3–5 prints per month the numbers add up quickly.

Quality control: in-house production makes it possible to redo a part in minutes if the result is not satisfactory — with no waiting and no additional shipping costs.

Typical clinical applications

The PioNext Mini is suitable for producing in-house:

• Diagnostic and study models
• Surgical guides for implantology
• Clear aligners and retainers (with compatible resins)
• Temporary prostheses in biocompatible resin
• Aesthetic mock-ups for smile planning
• Models for the indirect production of restorations

For each application it is essential to use resins certified for intraoral or extraoral use as appropriate. Strato3D can support you in choosing the right materials — book a free consultation.

After-sales support, service and training

Buying a dental 3D printer does not just mean receiving a machine in a box. It means learning a new workflow, choosing the right materials, calibrating the print parameters for each type of device. It is a process that requires support.

Strato3D offers:

• After-sales technical support — if you have a problem with the machine, you are not alone. Our team steps in remotely or on site. Read our 3D Printer Repair page.
• Dedicated training — we organise training sessions to take you from zero to your first independently produced device. See the Strato3D training courses.
• Contract printing service — if you are not yet ready for in-house production but want to test the quality of dental printing, we can print for you. Discover the B2B 3D printing service.

Purchasing through MePA for public institutions

Hospitals, local health authorities, university clinics and public dental facilities can purchase the PioCreat PioNext Mini through the Mercato Elettronico della Pubblica Amministrazione (the Italian public administration e-marketplace). Strato3D is an approved MePA supplier. Find out how it works on our Strato3D on MePA page or contact us directly to start the procedure.

Frequently asked questions

Does the PioNext Mini print resins from other manufacturers?
Yes, but it is essential to check compatibility and above all the certification of the resin for the specific application. Not all resins are suitable for intraoral use. Contact us before buying if you have any doubts.

How much space does it take up?
The machine is compact and designed for standard practices. It requires no external extraction or dedicated spaces, provided you work in an adequately ventilated environment.

What is the cost per print?
It depends on the type of resin and the device produced. As a general rule, a diagnostic model costs a few euros in material. We can help you work out the specific figure for your applications — book a consultation.

Conclusion: investing in in-house production pays off

The PioCreat PioNext Mini is not the cheapest dental 3D printer out there, but it is one of the few at this price that integrates the whole workflow into a single system, with the build quality of an industrial brand. For practices already producing even modest volumes of printed devices, the return on investment is fast and measurable.
