Dental 3D Printing


Dental 3D Printing — Precision, Efficiency, and Digital Dentistry

Dental 3D printing has become a cornerstone of modern digital dentistry, enabling laboratories and clinics to produce highly accurate, patient-specific dental applications faster and more efficiently than traditional manufacturing methods. By leveraging advanced additive manufacturing technologies, dental professionals can streamline workflows, reduce turnaround times, and deliver consistent, high-quality restorations and models.

Compared to conventional fabrication techniques and general-purpose 3D printing technologies, dental-specific systems offer specialized materials, validated workflows, and exceptional accuracy required for clinical applications.

Technologies such as Stratasys P3 DLP on the Origin® Two 2 platform and Stratasys PolyJet systems including the J5 DentaJet, J3 DentaJet, and DentaJet XL are designed specifically to meet the needs of modern dental production environments.

Stratasys® PolyJet

Technology Overview:

Stratasys PolyJet technology takes dental 3D printing further by enabling multi-material and full-color printing in a single build. Systems such as the J5 DentaJet, J3 DentaJet, and DentaJet XL are specifically designed for dental laboratories, allowing them to print multiple dental applications simultaneously with exceptional realism and accuracy.

PolyJet printers jet microscopic droplets of photopolymer material and instantly cure them with UV light, resulting in parts with extremely fine details, smooth surfaces, and high dimensional accuracy.

Key Advantages:

  • Multi-material printing in a single build – Combine different material properties, such as rigid and flexible, within the same model.
  • Full-color capabilities – Produce highly realistic dental models with colored gingiva, teeth, and anatomical details.
  • Exceptional accuracy and detail – Micron-level precision ensures highly accurate dental models and appliances.
  • High productivity – Print multiple applications simultaneously on the same build tray, improving laboratory efficiency.
  • Smooth surface finish – Reduces post-processing and enables models ready for immediate use.
  • Streamlined digital workflows – Supports modern digital dentistry by reducing manual fabrication steps.

Typical Applications:

Monolithic denture production (TrueDent)

Implantology models with realistic gingiva masks

Orthodontic models and aligner production workflows

Surgical planning models

Removable partial denture (RPD) frameworks and models

Crown and bridge models

Diagnostic and patient communication models

High-Speed Dental Production

Stratasys® P3 DLP

Technology Overview:

The Origin® Two platform uses Stratasys’ Programmable Photopolymerization (P3) DLP technology, which cures photopolymer resin layer by layer using a digitally controlled light projection system. This technology delivers high precision, repeatability, and production speed, making it ideal for dental labs that require reliable manufacturing of dental parts at scale.

The system supports a wide range of dental materials and enables laboratories to produce high-quality models, surgical guides, splints, and other dental devices with excellent dimensional accuracy.

Key Advantages:

  • High accuracy and detail required for dental applications
  • Fast production speeds suitable for high-throughput dental labs
  • Consistent and repeatable results for predictable clinical outcomes
  • Open material ecosystem allowing flexibility for different dental applications
  • Scalable production workflows for growing dental labs and clinics

Typical Applications:

Dental models

Surgical guides

Splints and night guards

Orthodontic appliances

Why Choose Dental 3D Printing Over Other Technologies:

Dental-focused additive manufacturing offers several advantages compared to traditional fabrication methods and general-purpose 3D printing technologies:

  • Exceptional accuracy required for dental restorations and appliances
  • Patient-specific customization for improved fit and comfort
  • Digital workflows that reduce manual processes and human error
  • Faster production times for dental models, appliances, and dentures
  • Consistent, repeatable results across multiple production runs
  • Ability to produce multiple applications simultaneously

By using P3 DLP technology for high-speed precision manufacturing or PolyJet that is capable of multi-material and full-color dental printing, dental laboratories and clinics can create a fully digital production environment that increases productivity, improves accuracy, and enhances patient outcomes.

Solutions such as Origin 2 and the DentaJet series with TrueDent material represent the next generation of dental manufacturing—bringing together automation, precision, and aesthetic quality to support the future of digital dentistry.
