3D printers in the dental laboratory - examples of possible areas of application
3D printers can be used in a wide range of applications in the dental laboratory. For example, implant models and temporary restorations can be created. The devices solve major problems.
3D printers have become increasingly affordable in recent years. As a result, they have not only found their way into many large dental laboratories, but also into medium-sized and small ones. They have gained a reputation for reducing the costs of day-to-day operations while maintaining or even increasing the quality of production - 3D printer technology comparison. New biocompatible materials in the form of synthetic resins have made a significant contribution to this. This results in a whole range of applications. Dental models, temporaries and dentures are just a few examples.
Model casting: sawing models and co. despite a shortage of skilled labour
Dental models are essential for the work of dentists. However, learning the corresponding casting technique is unpopular with young laboratory staff. As a result, there is a shortage of skilled labour in this area. 3D printers help with this problem. Implant models, die models or even saw models can be produced with a corresponding device. Laboratory owners report that digital-savvy technicians also enjoy creating models using the printer.
Dental prostheses: creating temporary restorations or denture bases with a precise fit
Dentures must be of high quality. It doesn't matter whether they are full dentures, fillings or crowns, for example. After all, every tooth is unique. Even the denture bases must therefore be manufactured as precisely as possible. The 3D printer in the dental laboratory is ideally suited for this due to its computer control. It builds up the dentures layer by layer and can thus take every special feature into account.

Crowns
Production of crowns
The production of crowns with a 3D printer begins with a digital scan of the tooth, which provides precise data for the design. This model is created in CAD software and then transferred to the 3D printer. The printer builds the crown layer by layer from a special, biocompatible material. This method ensures an exact fit and a high surface quality. After printing, the crown is post-cured under UV light to ensure stability. Thanks to 3D printing technology, crowns can be produced efficiently and cost-effectively, making treatment faster and more comfortable for patients.

Mit dem 3D-Drucker sind wir nun in der Lage, aus den Abformdaten selbst ein physisches Modell herzustellen, das alle unsere Ansprüche erfüllt: zeichnungsscharf und dimensionstreu. Wir arbeiten seit Jahren mit der 3Shape-Software und mussten die gewohnten Prozesse für den Einsatz des 3D-Druckers nicht verändern. Der Anwender ist mit einem 3D-Drucker von dentona nicht auf ein System festgelegt. Die zum Drucker mitgelieferte Slicing-Software liest jede STL-Datei. Somit kann die additive Fertigung problemlos in den Prozess eingebunden werden.
Areas of application for 3D printers in the dental laboratory: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How can a 3D printer help with cosmetic dental correction?
3D printers are ideal for cosmetic tooth correction. They produce aligner splints, for example. They are characterised by a particularly high level of efficiency. For example, there is no need for the grinding shavings that used to be common when finishing the aligner splints.
What other advantages do 3D dental printers offer in addition to efficiency, precision and cost-effectiveness?
3D dental printers reduce pollution in the long term. It doesn't matter whether they produce dental prostheses, dental models or splints. Monomer vapours, for example, no longer occur.
3D printers can be used in a variety of ways in dental laboratories.
When it comes to 3D printers in dental laboratories, users often rave about the production speed, efficiency and quality of the products. However, one key aspect falls by the wayside: the wide range of applications. Whether it's denture bases, aligner splints or core models, the printer can always help.
