Session 1 – Digital Dentistry 2.0: Implementing the 3D Printer into Dental Workflows

• Discover the current trends in 3D printing for the dental field, including equipment, materials, and applications.
• An in-depth overview of the current digital workflows, how 3D printing fits into each, as well as the benefits that can be gained by integrating 3D printing.
• Benefit from an overview of the available machines, materials, and software available to implement digital dentistry utilizing 3D printing.
• Learn from one of the earliest pioneers of dental 3D printing what the future of digital dentistry will look like in the coming years

Session 2 – The Current and Future Landscape of 3D Printing in Dental

Session details to be announced.

Session 1 – Product Demo: 3D Systems’ NextDent 5100 – 3D Printing Device for Dentistry

Learn the latest in dental 3D printing innovation from 3D Systems in this demo of its NextDent 5100 printer, which facilitates high-speed 3D printing for production of dental devices and fixtures. The printer is compatible with industry-standard state-of-the-art intra-oral scanning and software solutions to deliver more precise results than conventional manual production techniques. This session will demo the end-to-end digital workflow that provides higher, more predictable uptime, with a significant reduction in risk for the operator. With the new technology, dental laboratories and clinics are able to address more indications with one solution to produce dental devices at dramatically increased speed – up to 4x faster than other available solutions. The printer also reduces material waste and capital equipment expenditure to provide customers up to 90 percent cost savings. Benefits extend to the patient by reducing the time it takes to produce prosthodontics and orthodontics, as well as the number of required office visits.

Session 2 – Aligners and Models for Making Orthodontic Appliances

An overview on the manufacturing techniques Accu-Move used in the past. Accu-Move were one of the first to make aligners after the very well known Invisalign. Brian will explain past production techniques and also explain Why they use the process they do. You will hear about the transition from manual to digital about inter-oral and model scans. The session will cover IPR issues, Aligner materials, Hollow model techniques, Tooth “parking” button placement and trimming of trays.

Session 1 – Materials, Dental Markets and the Investment Perspective
