3D printers as support in the dental laboratory
3D printers are a significant relief for the dental laboratory in many areas of application. Dental prostheses, occlusal splints, models, or, for example, drilling templates can be produced faster, cheaper, and of higher quality. The performance and efficiency of the 3D printers offered by dentona make it possible in many cases to complete the work on the same day.
This is made possible by the sophisticated interplay of hardware and software. For example, some printers for the dental laboratory work with a 4K resolution and a wavelength of 385nm to achieve particularly good results. The associated CAD software allows the design of, for example, dental accessories in different layers to ensure the best possible quality.
3D printing in the dental laboratory: the process flow
The dental technicians in the dental laboratory receive orders from the practice with the necessary specifications. It is important that each case is described as precisely as possible. For example, bite splints can cause gag reflexes in patients. A simple trick is to shorten the splints on the sides. Without a 3D dental printer, a part had to be manually cut off in the past. With a printer for the dental laboratory, the dental technician can immediately plan the splint as desired. It fits optimally - and is free of gag reflexes.
After receiving the order, the dental technicians plan the printing in the CAD software. If no material specification is given, they also make suitable suggestions. The responsible physician can review the design and give the green light. Alternatively, the dental technicians are given free rein to do their work. The actual printing process takes several hours. The exact duration depends on the size of the product to be produced, the 3D printer, and the material. Small prints can usually be completed on the same day if the work was not started too late.

With the 3D printer, we are now able to create a physical model from the impression data itself that meets all of our requirements: sharp in detail and dimensionally accurate. We have been using 3Shape software for years and did not have to change our usual processes for using the 3D printer. Users of a dentona 3D printer are not limited to one system. The slicing software provided with the printer reads any STL file, allowing additive manufacturing to be seamlessly integrated into the process.
3D dental printers: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What distinguishes the 3D dental printers offered by dentona?
The 3D printers for the dental laboratory are state-of-the-art and come from leading companies. They offer a wide range of functions. For example, larger products can also be produced - prints of up to 3 x 3 meters are possible.
How do the performance and efficiency of 3D printers have a specific positive impact?
The production not only succeeds faster, but also results in less material waste compared to traditional manufacturing processes. Additionally, fewer subsequent adjustments are needed for the patient, making it more comfortable for them.
What materials do 3D printers use for the dental laboratory?
A variety of materials can generally be used, depending on the specific device. We particularly rely on high-quality dental printer resins. These are flexible and durable biomaterials that can also be easily colored. Resins allow, for example, the printing of lifelike prostheses.
Modernize your dental laboratory with a 3D printer and save time and money!
Printers for the dental laboratory are sensible investments.
The 3D dental printer is a worthwhile investment. Its acquisition costs pay off through the time and money savings that are possible with them. Additionally, they allow for improved patient care, which is why practices often rely on their services.

We receive a precise model of the oral situation from the 3D printer and can use it to produce, for example, splints for therapeutic purposes or dental prostheses.
