3D Printing for Dental
The workflow is already digital. The scanner produces a file; additive is what turns that file back into something you can hold and fit.

The digital workflow, finished in your hand
An intra-oral scanner already produces a file, and a CAD package already produces a design. The gap has always been between that design and something a patient can be fitted with — and that gap used to be manual work with a plaster model.
Printing closes it. The same file that came out of the scanner becomes a study model, a working model, a tray or a guide, at an accuracy that makes it fit the first time and a turnaround measured in hours.
What Dental Teams Print
Study & working models
Printed straight from the intra-oral scan, ready to work on.
Custom trays
Made to the arch rather than trimmed down from a stock size.
Surgical guides
Drill guides positioned from the plan, printed to the plan.
Patient communication
A model on the table is a better explanation than any screen.
Appliance bases
Bases and frameworks made to the model rather than around it.
Aligner and thermoform models
Sequential models printed as a set for thermoforming.
Which Process for Which Part
| The part | Process & material | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Study model | SLA · model resin | Accuracy and a hard, workable surface |
| Working model | SLA · model resin | Dimensional stability under handling |
| Custom tray | SLA · tray resin | Rigid, thin and made to the arch |
| Surgical guide | SLA · biocompatible resin | Accuracy where accuracy is the whole point |
| Thermoform model | SLA · model resin | Smooth, so the sheet pulls down cleanly |
| Presentation model | SLA, finished | For the consultation, not the bench |

Put additive to work in dental
Tell us the part, the quantity and what it has to survive. We will tell you whether to print it, cast it or machine it — and what that costs.
