3D printing has become a useful alternative option for small- and medium-scale production and manufacturing in several industries. 3D printing also applies to the dental industry – with 3D printed dentures and retainers offering a variety of benefits for both patient and dentist. There are several useful hardware and software that are specifically designed for dental applications, and 3D Unique is your one-stop online shop for all your 3D printing needs. In this article, we discuss 3D printers that can assist you with 3D printed dentures and retainers for your dental practice.
The Flashforge Focus 8.9 HD 4K LCD Dental 3D Printer
This printer is equipped with the latest intelligent manufacturing technology that is developed by Flashforge. Featuring a drastically improved printing volume, stability, and precision, it is ideal for various applications such as 3D printed dentures and retainers. Offering 97% more print size in comparison to a regular DLP printer, this printer is capable of printing 21 orthodontic dental models simultaneously. Its Z-axis motor system grants the device finer and more stable printing performance, as well as improved service life.
The Flashforge Focus 8.9 features a subpixel compensation algorithm that is developed by Flashforge – delivering smoother surface textures, higher printing quality, and increased performance. Its optical engine system allows the printer efficient energy distribution to ensure that prints are more successful and accurate. When importing oral scanning models and data, the printer’s software recognises the files and automatically rotates the models and ensures that the teeth are kept straight. The software can also generate a dental base that is calculated on the current dental model.
The Dental 3D Printing Workflow
There are 3 distinct phases when it comes to 3D printed dentures and retainers for your patients. The first step is scanning – utilising a 3D scanner to create a digital representation of the patient’s mouth, gums, and/or teeth. The next step is designing – whether it is dentures, retainers, fillings, or crowns, 3D printing software can be utilised for a variety of dental solutions. The final step is printing – where a dedicated dental 3D printer can be used for optimal results. 3D Unique can assist you with dental 3D scanners, software, and printers for a comprehensive solution for your practice.
