DIGITAL DENTISTRY LEARNING HUB

In 2011, Australian manufacturer Asiga launched the world’s first LED-based DLP 3D printer. This step helped leap forward making affordable desktop printers which changed digital manufacturing forever.

Desktop Health specializes in advanced healthcare solutions, known for their Einstein series— a range of 3D printers designed to address the diverse and dynamic needs of dentists. This series is celebrated for its advanced features, versatility, and commitment to elevating patient care.

Established in 2011, Flashforge is a global leader in 3D printing, for a wide variety of purposes, including dental applications. Backed by Chinese manufacturing, Flashforge 3D printers, software, materials and accessories are well-known for producing high-quality results.

Founded in 2014, SprintRay's primary goal was to bridge the gap between the potential of 3D printing and the specific needs of dental professionals. The company realized early on that traditional 3D printing solutions were not entirely suited for dental applications due to their limitations in accuracy, material compatibility, and speed. 

Dental imaging has made impressive strides, thanks to major advancements in X-ray technology that have revolutionized the way dentists diagnose and treat oral health issues. This progress has shifted from old-school X-rays to digital X-rays, where digital sensors and imaging tools have played a vital role. This transformation has greatly enhanced the clarity of images while getting rid of the necessity for chemical processing.
