Application in Dentistry

Along with the design companies and the aerospace industry, dentistry recognized the merits of additive technology long before 3D printing became familiar in everyday life. Thus, dentists are trying to finally push out the outdated traditional methods of treatment. A 3D printer for dentistry is a real opportunity to automate the most important stage in the work of dental laboratories, as well as to move to a new level of quality.

PolyJet's 3D printing technology allows dental laboratories and clinics to quickly and accurately produce various dental designs. The main applications in dentistry are the direct manufacture of dental models, the production of biocompatible surgical patterns, the manufacture of fitting crowns and veneers, the modeling of drag strip designs, followed by manufacture in metal. The use of additive technologies in dentistry can significantly reduce the time of work with the patient, reduce his pain and significantly reduce the influence of the human factor when working with a client.

Along with plastic printing, metal printing is very often used to obtain crowns or prostheses. This use of 3D printing makes it possible to bypass analog processes for waxing and casting. High productivity, virtually waste-free production, work with a large range of materials - this is only a small part of the advantages of dental 3D printers for printing with metals. In any case, additive technologies do not stand still and improve every year, reducing the cost of both equipment and materials, and the dental industry keeps up with these changes.
