3D Systems Transforming Dental Lab Efficiency with Integrated Digital Dentistry Solutions
February 18 2025 - 7:30AM
Today, 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) revealed several new innovations it
intends to showcase at LMT Lab Day 2025 including the NextDent®
Jetted Denture Solution for multi-material monolithic dentures, as
well as previews of its solutions for night guards and direct
printed aligners. 3D Systems has established itself as a leader in
digital dentistry – revolutionizing the industry with the broadest
portfolio of integrated solutions that are helping dental
laboratories and clinics more efficiently deliver patient-specific
devices. The addition of solutions to address applications for
dentures, and in the future night guards and direct-printed
aligners, further strengthens the Company’s innovative position in
the industry.
Foundational to 3D Systems’ multi-material, monolithic jetted
denture solution the Company introduced at LMT Lab Day 2024, 3D
Systems is pleased to debut the NextDent® 300 MultiJet 3D printer.
This unique printer facilitates rapid production of
patient-specific dentures that are fully cured and safe to handle
without the need for additional post-curing steps. To complement
the NextDent 300, 3D Systems’ materials scientists developed
NextDent® Jet Teeth and NextDent® Jet Base — the former uniquely
formulated to mimic tooth rigidity and aesthetics, and the latter
to absorb impact. When these materials are used as part of 3D
Systems’ FDA-cleared complete workflow solution comprising
materials, jetted 3D printing technology, software, and services,
high-volume dental laboratories can deliver dentures with improved
performance and aesthetics, resulting in a superior patient
experience. The speed of 3D Systems’ jetting technology combined
with monolithic denture printing accelerates total production rates
— enabling a full build of 15 arches in as little as nine hours —
significantly reducing time to completion resulting in expedited
delivery to the prosthodontist and patient. 3D Systems will be
taking pre-orders for its NextDent Jetted Denture solution at Lab
Day and anticipates general availability early in the third quarter
of 2025.
With the introduction of the NextDent 300 for multi-material
printing, 3D Systems is looking to the future with the next
application of this technology for night guards. Night guards are a
rapidly growing market segment driven by the need to prevent damage
to teeth from night grinding, an affliction affecting millions of
people around the world. Night guards are also increasingly used by
physicians for the treatment of sleep apnea and related disorders.
The Company expects night guards to become an important element of
its dental technology portfolio in late 2025.
Finally, with the exceptional legacy 3D Systems has established
for itself as a key supplier of 3D printing technology to the clear
aligner industry, its technology today enables the manufacture of
roughly one million patient-specific clear aligners daily across
this rapidly growing market. The Company believes this work
provides a strong foundation upon which to launch the next phase of
significant expansion in the dental market, which will include
novel technology for the direct printing of clear aligner products.
3D Systems anticipates availability of this solution in 2026.
“3D Systems has been a pioneer in digital dentistry for years,
establishing itself as an industry leader,” said Dr. Jeffrey
Graves, president & CEO, 3D Systems. “Additive manufacturing is
poised for widespread adoption across all dental applications — to
straighten, protect, repair and replace teeth — and we're perfectly
positioned to capitalize on this growth. Our decades of experience
developing specialized dental materials and 3D printing technology
along with our deep applications expertise will allow us to bring a
full spectrum of high-volume production solutions to market in the
coming years. We're committed to this expansion and are working
closely with key players in every dental product category to
accelerate the availability of these advancements.”
According to Vantage Market Research, the global dental 3D
printing market is estimated to be valued at $14.6 billion by
2032. With decades of experience in the dental industry, 3D Systems
has been instrumental in catalyzing the adoption of 3D
printing to produce patient-specific dental devices. The Company
currently boasts the largest portfolio of dental 3D printing
materials to address more than 30 applications and empowers dental
facilities to manufacture dental appliances with heightened
efficiency while minimizing material waste. This translates to
accelerated production timelines, resulting in streamlined
experiences for more than one million patients served each day.
3D Systems will showcase its digital dentistry portfolio
designed to address a breadth of dental applications for
orthodontics, prosthodontics, and implantology such as the
production of trays, models, surgical guides, dentures, orthodontic
splints, retainers, crowns, and bridges at LMT Lab Day (booth
A-43/B-42, East Exhibit Hall), to be held February 20-22, 2025 at
the Hyatt Regency Chicago (Illinois). Additionally, the Company
will highlight how it has validated the NextDent materials
portfolio to perform across a wide selection of the industry's most
trusted 3D printers. Attendees are also invited to participate
in 3D Systems’ seminars to be held in the Comiskey Room, West
Tower, Bronze Level. For more information, please visit the 3D
