Who is this for?

This resource is great for any dental professional interested in 3D printing. Including dentists, dental assistants, prosthodontists, and dental labs.

It can benefit practices looking to adopt advanced digital technology, improve efficiency, and provide highly accurate and customized restorations for patients.

But I can just send it to lab...

More and more clinics are utilizing 3D printing in their clinic. You might not use it for all indications, but the benefits are obvious:

  • Greater control over the entire process, from design to manufacturing
  • Faster turnaround times, as crowns can be printed in-clinic without lab delays
  • Ability to make adjustments or reprints on-site if needed
  • Potential cost savings by reducing lab fees over time
  • Convenience for patients, who can often receive their crowns in a single visit

While dental labs with advanced 3D printing capabilities can get great results, particularly for more complex cases or high production volumes, the choice depends on the practice's needs, budget, and desired level of in-clinic digital integration.

Why do I need it?
