industry report dental 3-D printers BOILERPLATE Structo is a Singapore-based dental 3-D printing solutions provider. It designs, develops and builds 3-D printers tailored for dental applications using its unique proprietary MSLA technology. With MSLA, Structo’s 3-D printers are able to achieve speeds much higher than that of conventional SLA printers, revolutionising the field of digital dentistry with higher throughput and lower costs, without compromising on print quality. ORTHOFORM With a large build platform and crisp printing res- olution, the Structo OrthoForm 3-D printer is de- signed for the rapid manufacturing of dental moulds for use in secondary processes, such as vacuum forming. The adoption of digital dentistry is no longer a cause for concern with our unique pro- prietary MSLA technology which enables the Ortho Form to achieve record-breaking speeds (Up to 30 dental models in 90 minutes). The end result is higher throughput and lower costs, all without compromising on print quality. further expansion with more DentaForm printers in the second half of this year. Glidewell’s California- based dental laboratory has been a DentaForm beta user, providing valuable feedback to Structo before the printer was made avail- able to the mass market. The DentaForm 3-D printer is designed to print die- fitting models for crowns and bridges fitting. “Having one of the leading dental labs in the world place its trust in our technology shows that our solution is addressing a very critical need in digital dentistry. David and his team have been providing us with a lot of feedback that has con- tributed to new features and design elements of the DentaForm printer. We are really excited to continue this partnership with Glidewell to help them expand their capacity,” added Huub. Structo believes its high throughput printers which give laboratory managers greater flexibil- ity in how they manage their manufacturing pro- cess, will help accelerate the adoption of digital dentistry. Technicians will no longer have to wait 4–5 hours for a single print job to complete, an inherent challenge that used to be a roadblock that prevented most dental professionals from deploying 3-D printing on a large scale. To fur- ther encourage the adoption of CAD/CAM in den- tistry, Structo recently launched a blog on all things digital dentistry (blog.structo3d.com).
