Sealing the dies
After having removed the matrix and cleaned the duplicate model, apply two layers of Vectris Model Separator. Apply the
first layer slightly more generously than the second one and make sure to fully cover all areas of the die. Watch out for
sharp edges in particular. Allow the first layer to react for 3 minutes. Subsequently, apply the second layer of Vectris Model
Separator in a thin coating, invert the model and allow it to dry for another 3 minutes.
Preparing the dies for the vacuum-forming process
Before removing the Vectris Single from the packaging, adjust the height of the model carrier in the vacuum former so that
the distance between the die and the upper rim of the container is 2 to max. 3 cm. If necessary, the height may be further
adjusted with the help of the spacer rings. Finally, check the position of the membrane.
Placing Vectris Pontic into the Transil matrix and vacuum-forming the pontic
Slightly moisten the Transil matrix with Vectris Glue to facilitate the adaptation of the Vectris Pontic strips. Remove the
Vectris Pontic from the light-protected package, cut it to the desired length, remove it from the foil and place it into the
Transil matrix using tweezers. Observe the schematic below when filling in the individual Vectris strips. Place the Transil
matrix on the duplicate model in the correct position, push it into place and mount the model on the model carrier of the
Vectris VS1. Start Program 1 to commence the vacuum-forming and polymerization process. The program takes 10 minutes
to complete.
Apply a generous coat of Vectris Model Separator and allow to dry for approx. 3 minutes.
Apply the second layer of Vectris Model Separator in a thin coating and allow to dry for
3 minutes upside down.
