How important the teeth are to us, the application of 3D printers in 3D printed dentistry is just as important.

    Application field

    1。Porcelain teeth：At present, most of the porcelain teeth on the market have basically applied 3D printing technology to print the inner crown to make porcelain teeth. Compared with traditional methods, 3D printing is more accurate and cost-effective.

    2.denture：Whether it is a complete denture, gums or teeth, it must be printed with biocompatible materials, and the denture base can also be 3D printed. At present, 3D printed dentures are only suitable for clinical testing.

    3.Invisible braces：After the tooth model is made, the transparent film is wrapped on the model by a thermoplastic molding process, so that a suitable invisible brace can be quickly produced. It can be said that invisible braces are an industry born out of 3D printing.

  
    Features

    In the dental 3D printer, 3D printing technology is no exaggeration to say that it is a milestone in the technological innovation of the dental industry, and the various "drilling needs" of patients cannot be overwhelmed by it! Therefore, the dentist can customize the perfect solution that is most suitable for the patient to solve the problem.

    3D printer equipment is more cost-effective than traditional equipment and can minimize costs. In addition, 3D printing technology is also more accurate and has a longer service life.

    The digital dental technology of 3D printing has brought high precision, low cost, high efficiency, and oral data conforming to the standardized production chain to the dental industry.

    It is developing & popularizing very rapidly in the dental industry. Many dental clinics and laboratories have introduced 3D printing technology, which has provided great help for dental diagnosis and treatment. No wonder 3D printing technology is so popular in the dental industry!

    Printing process

    The process of 3D printing a dental model is actually not complicated, as long as the patient's tooth data is scanned through a 3D scanner, and after the data is available, it can be printed out by a 3D printer. At present, most of them use DLP technology in light curing to print dental molds that can be cast. There are qualitative improvements in efficiency and accuracy. To sum up, the steps of dental model printing are as follows: oral cavity scanning-three-dimensional mapping-printing by 3D printer-to get the finished product.

    Dental mold additive

    Additive manufacturing refers to the technology of accumulating and stacking materials point by point to form a three-dimensional entity through discrete-stacking. Simply put, it is a process of adding layer by layer to print a three-dimensional physical object. According to its characteristics, it is also called additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping, arbitrary molding and so on.

    Additive manufacturing reduces manufacturing costs and improves production efficiency by reducing mold costs, reducing materials, reducing assembly, and reducing R&D cycles.

    Additives used in dental 3D printing generally use resin raw materials for printing. There are different additives for different dental molds, such as dental flexible resin, high transparent resin, 3D dental mold resin and 3D dental casting resin.

    The dental model printed by additive has no peculiar smell and will not cause any discomfort to wear.
