For a long time, the cure for diabetes type 1 and type 2 has relied on agonizing insulin shots for patients or insulin infusion via mechanical pumps. Regarding this, experts have been creating artificial pancreatic beta cells with the he…
Reasons to Buy this Report
1) Specificity – no other study of 3D printing focuses exclusively on dental applications in-depth. Other reports have previously grouped together dental and other biomedical applications into one opportunity, however SmarTech now believes that the two opportunities are growing so significant they are developing unique considerations and factors that should be analyzed independently to take into account the needs and interests specific to each industry. Our report analyzes applications, print technologies, materials, services, and overall impact on the dental industry in each sector of dentistry, from metal to polymer applications.
2) The market for dental components is unique when applied to the business case for 3D printing in that it requires the triple-play of 3D printing principal values – high value parts, with high performance standards, at high volumes. Other industries are seeking to bring 3D printing into this scenario for maximum value and competitive advantage, but dentistry is already achieving it.
3) Interplay between metal and polymer 3D printing technologies in dentistry is growing, along with traditional production techniques. This means that 3D printing will continue to become a critical production method for dental solutions, both in the dental office and in the laboratory. The independent considerations for each scenario have wide-reaching implications for the dental industry.
Description
The dental industry is transforming into a fully-digital one quicker than most dentists imagined, and 3D technologies are completely altering the way in which dental solutions can be approached thanks to its ability to print a variety of complex shapes on demand, in a variety of applicable materials, in significant volumes.
No other industry currently adopting 3D printing has the same combination of high value, high performance, and high volume parts required by the dental industry, making 3D printing a near perfect fit for true disruption and game changing capability compared to existing traditional methods of production.
In fact, dentistry is such a good fit for the principal value of 3D printing, that nearly every 3D printing process and major provider can apply its technology to the space in some way –although not all do today, they may in the future. Both polymer and metallic applications exist in significant variety, for everything from surgical guides and models, casting and tools to aid in traditional techniques, to actual dental restorative components for both temporary and permanent solutions.
Readers of this report will gain insight into the multitude of applications for 3D printing in dentistry, with all of the latest advancements and technological developments for 3D printing taken into account. In addition, SmarTech analyzes the total market for 3D printed dental components across categories, so that readers from the dental industry may understand the potential penetration today and into the future to measure future business initiatives against.
