ank you for purchasing our thermoforming machines and we are pleased to welcome
you into our large family of customers.
Our B-FORM thermoforming machines are of the most recent generation, having a
modern style and a sleek design. ey have been designed to satisfy every need that a
dentist and a dental technician might have in a fast and simple way.
Built with top-quality materials, the B-FORM thermoforming machines have a 3-year
warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
All the components that make up the outer structure of the B-FORM thermoforming
machines were manufactured using glass-lled nylon and ABS, making it very light and
compact.

sharp edges, and palate or buccal beds (see “ ”).
e locking plate, in which the thermoplastic sheets are inserted, is raised and lowered
by an electric motor in the B-FORM Comfort and Deluxe version, and manually in the
B-FORM Silent version. In addition, the particular design of the plate allows you to use
each type of thermoplastic sheets:
square 13 x 13 cm, round Ø 12 cm, round Ø 12.5 cm.
e heating plate contains quartz modular infrared resistance. e main characteristic of
this resistance is the rapidity of response, and therefore there is no need for preheating.
e heat is emitted by radiation mainly downwards in the direction of the thermoplastic
sheet to be heated, thus it greatly reduces the power consumption during the heating of
the thermoplastic sheet and yields substantial energy savings. Furthermore, the heating
plate containing the resistance does not heat up excessively.
ey have an elegant control keyboard on which the control keys for the functionality of
the thermoforming machine are located.
ey are equipped with an energy saving and security device (automatic standby feature
if the thermoforming machine is not used for approximately 10 minutes).
e B-FORM thermoforming machines have the certication and are provided with a
multilingual user manual and a DVD-R for the use of the thermo-molder.

THERMOFORMING TECHNIQUE

To obtain the best results with the thermoforming technique, a good plaster model needs
to be prepared. To do so we recommend that you to keep in mind the following:

• e plaster model can be made with any type of plaster. However, we recommend that
you use a hard plaster because if you use a so plaster, a model completely covered with
powder is obtained, and the powder is transferred to the thermoforming device as well.

• e plaster model must not be very high and therefore it must be thinned as
much as possible. e base of the model must have a smooth, at surface. Remo­ ve the parts of the model (vestibule, buccal oor) that can prevent the molding. Ca­ refully remove the undercut areas and round the sharp edges of the plaster ( ).
You can overcome all of this if you use the well of thermoforming machine, aer
having lled it with beads ( ).

• If you use air-impermeable or lacquered resin models, you run the risk of having an
incomplete mold because the air is unable to escape completely between the model and
the thermoplastic sheet.

• If you remove the hard thermoformed materials from the model, this oen breaks. e
problem is not solved using extra-hard plasters: we recommend the molding with a
duplicate.

• During the thermoforming there is always a thinning of the material with respect to
the original thickness. In general, our long experience has taught us that for every cen­ timeter of height of the plaster model, there is a loss of thickness of approximately 20%.
For this reason, it is necessary to lower the plaster model height as much as possible
or insert the plaster model into the well of the thermoforming machine and cover it with
beads, leaving only the area that you want to mold uncovered.

• With the B-FORM thermoforming machines there is a molding in an axial direction, in
which the suitably heated sheet descends vertically on the model, surrounding it
completely. is creates a uniform thickness over the entire surface of the plaster mo­ del.

Please read and take the following precautions before using the equipment.

Positioning

1. e thermoforming machine must always be placed on a at and open surface:

Under no circumstances must the thermoforming machine be operated when it is
located inside a cabinet.

2. During operation, do not put the thermoforming machine too close to the walls, cabi­ nets or any other equipment due to the heat emitted from the resistance located in
heating plate.

3. Do not place the thermoforming machine near ammable liquids, such as alcohol
or solvents.

In case the internal electrical components come into contact with ammable liquids,
re or electric shocks might occur. Should one of these liquids penetrate in the appa­ ratus, disconnect the power supply cable immediately and contact your local dealer.

1. e stopper with a hole in it, located at the bottom of the well, must always be free of
any debris that may form during the operation of the thermoforming machine. e
refore, you must periodically remove the beads from the well and thoroughly inspect
this area and check the lter located inside it ( ).

2. Check periodically to see if the power supply cable is worn and check to make sure
that the connection plugs are inserted correctly.

3. Replacing the fuse : In the electrical outlet, located in the rear part of the ther­ moforming machine, there are two incorporated fuses to protect the various electri­ cal components of the device. Should the fuse malfunction for some reason, you must
replace it. For the replacement of the fuse proceed as follows:

• First unplug the power supply cable both from the wall socket and also from the socket
of the device.

• Open the ap of the fuse container gently with a screwdriver ( ) and repla­ ce the old fuse with a new one. It is very important have spare fuses of the same type
(delayed 3.15 AT for 220 volts version and delayed AT 6.30 for the 115 volts version)
to be able to replace them should the need arise. Dierent types of fuses may cause
damage to the device and thus void the warranty.

Check the following before requesting technical assistance:

• Insucient details - is is oen caused by an incorrect heating or vacuum time of
the plastic sheet. If your overlay does not have sucient details, you must prolong the
heating and/or vacuum time of the plastic sheet.

• Creased or torn material - is is due to an excessive heating of the plastic sheet.
Simply reducing the heating time solves this problem.

• Material glued to the model - e problem is solved by spraying the plaster model
with a silicone lubricant prior to the implementation of the overlay.

• Material glued to the seals - Replace the seals.

• Material glued in the holes in the vacuum plate - is happens when the plastic
sheet is heated excessively and is sucked inside the plate holes. Let the plastic material
cool down completely and then try to pull it out gently from the holes in the plate.

• e resistance does not work / e vacuum pump does not work / e clamping
plate does not move up and cannot be lowered - Check to see if the power supply
cable is properly inserted both in the thermo-molding socket of the thermo-molding
and the wall outlet. Check the fuse. Remove and replace it if it is blown.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE FOR THE “WELL”

e presence of the well makes the B-FORM thermoformer machines very ecient and
complete ( ).
In the beads of the well, you have the possibility to immerse, to the depth you want, indi­vidual teeth, teeth sections or an entire model.
e use of the Well is recommended for those plaster models that have a pronounced un­dercut, i.e. because it is not possible to prepare a plaster model as described in the chap­ter “ ”. e use of the well becomes necessary, therefore, if you
have a very high plaster model, with undercuts, sharp edges and with palate or buccal
oor. Failure to use the well may lead to the breakage of the heated sheet during the de­scent of the blocking plate with the consequent hindrance of the thermoforming process
Before the well can be used, the following operations must be performed:

1. Place a portion of the beads in the well and level them.

2. Put the plaster model or the individual teeth or teeth sections that you would like to
reproduce inside the well and verify that the area of the model to be molded comes
out completely from the edge of the well. If the area that you want to mold does
not come out completely from the edge of the well, remove the plaster model from
the well and add other beads and level them. Repeat this process until the area that

you want to mold comes out completely from the edge of the well. Finally, cover the
entire plaster model with beads and level them, leaving uncovered only the area that
you want to mold.
