Venea VDesk1 Eco
The VENEA VDesk1 Eco is a cost-optimized desktop metal 3D printer designed primarily for dental laboratories and the production of small, high-precision metal components. It is based on L-PBF (Laser Powder Bed Fusion), also known as DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering), enabling reliable production of prosthetic frameworks in cobalt-chromium, titanium, and other metal materials.
The printer also includes software for print preparation and the equipment required for an efficient and safe workflow — from model preparation to post-processing of the finished parts.
