At a glance

What Klockner Automate and Microlay Ivy are.

Klockner Automate is a cloud platform for dental practices that brings intraoral scanning, AI design and print preparation together in one workflow. Every case stays linked to its patient record.

Microlay Ivy is a DLP resin dental 3D printer, designed and manufactured in Spain by KLOCKNER, S.L. It fits on a countertop and receives every job already prepared by Klockner Automate.

No CAD licences

An AI service (Relu.ai) designs the part and you pay per design. You review and approve it, or automate the cases you repeat.

Automatic preparation

Orientation, supports and tray fit are calculated for Microlay Ivy. No need to master 3D printing.

Open system

Works with scans from Medit, iTero and other scanners, with exocad designs and with more than 300 dental resins from leading manufacturers.

Made in Europe

Microlay Ivy is designed and manufactured in Spain, with full quality guarantees.

02 / How it works

From scan to part, without switching software.

The whole case in one place: receive the scan, order the design, prepare the print and print it. This is the route of an occlusal splint.

Start with your scan

Intraoral scans arrive from Medit or you upload them, and they are saved in the patient record.

03 / Control

You decide how much to automate.

At first, review every design before printing. Once a type of case earns your confidence, save your preferences in a preset and let it reach the printer without stops.

Ideal to get started or for cases you want to look at closely: nothing prints until you have approved the design and checked the preparation.

In both modes you prepare the printer and do the washing, curing, finishing and final check of the part.

04 / What you can print

Splints, guides, models and crowns.

Start with the application that interests you most and expand when you want. For each one we review with you the right design service and material.
