Inside Dental Technology (IDT) Magazine | July 5, 2017 ~ In the IDT article “A Glimpse into the Future,” writer Daniel Alter, MSc, MDT, CDT discusses 3D printing technology and how it is creating a paradigm shift in the way business is conducted, treatment protocols established, and how the overall manufacturing workflow is carried out.
EnvisionTEC’s 3D printers, such as the Vida cDLM and the 3D-Bioplotter, were highlighted in this article.
Alter also interviewed EnvisionTEC’s Dental Applications Specialist Chris Kabot who was quoted on the cDLM technology.
“Continuous digital light manufacturing is the next evolution for additive manufacturing; it provides high-speed output, better accuracy, quicker post-processing, and significantly finer details,” said Kabot.
In February 2017, EnvisionTEC launched its Vida cDLM 3D printer, which is the second printer using cDLM for high-speed printing. This 3D printer can print five partial frameworks in 2 to 2.5 hours and can print 12 crowns in about 16 minutes using the E-Dent 400 material (FDA-approved for long-term temporaries).
