Dental 3D printer adoption is accelerating

3D printing solutions must know exactly which problems they're trying to solve.

Thanks to recent advances in technology, design, and materials, the role of dental 3D printers is rapidly expanding from dental labs into individual practices. So how does this hyped-up technology actually work, and what about 3D printing makes it such a great fit for dentistry? And why are SprintRay 3D printing products are at the forefront of the market.

Dental 3D printer adoption is accelerating

The adoption of dental 3D printers is driven by continuous innovation in three major categories:

Biocompatible Materials

Materials innovation is at the heart of dental 3D printer adoption. While the production of models is crucial for many practices, the creation of dental appliances that can be placed intraorally, such as night guards, surgical guides, and digital dentures, are a critical to the advancement of this technology's role in dentistry.

Accuracy and Repeatability

Accuracy and repeatability are essential for dental 3D printers. In order to provide the highest standard of care and final fit and finish, extremely high accuracy is a non-negotiable. Recent advancements in materials and printing technology have supercharged the accuracy of 3D printers such as SprintRay Pro.

Production Speed and Scalability

In order to keep pace with a busy office, a good dental 3D printer should offer rapid print speeds and high overall production throughput. These are a factor of build plate size and light delivery technology and should not be overlooked.

Reading Between The Voxel Lines

Parsing the jargon from the technology can be difficult. Here's where to start.

Digital dentistry is largely served by a type of 3D printers that fall under the umbrella term stereolithography. These printers use light to cure photosensitive, liquid resin. Broadly speaking, there are three ways to deliver that light, each with its own advantages and drawbacks.
