“By streamlining the 3D printing workflow for dental professionals with a customized version of Materialise Magics Print, the learning curve for adoption of the technology is reduced, making digital dentistry more accessible to a wider audience. “We are proud to contribute towards the advancement of digital dentistry together with our partner, Structo,” said Stefaan Motte, Vice President of Materialise Software. The partnership resulted in the launch of Structo’s PrintWorks software last year, and now Structo and Materialise are introducing Structo PrintWorks Pro, a customized version of Materialise Magics Print that is designed to simplify 3D print file preparation for dental professionals using Structo 3D printers. In 2015, Structo partnered with Materialise to develop a customized version of the latter’s Build Processor software, and the two companies have been maintaining an ongoing collaboration ever since. Structo’s printers, which also include the OrthoForm, have become popular in the dental industry across the world, with an install base on four continents. The company released its most recent printer, the DentaForm, earlier this year, featuring Structo’s proprietary Mask Stereolithography (MSLA) technology. One company that’s been making the lives of dentists and patients easier is Structo, a manufacturer of SLA 3D printers specifically for dental applications. 3D printing can make dental visits easier on patients, as well – having your mouth 3D scanned is infinitely preferable to having a tray full of goo shoved in there to make an impression. The dental 3D printer market is growing at lightning speed as practitioners discover how convenient it is to 3D print surgical guides, tools, molds and other implements compared to older methods of fabrication. Dental procedures are rarely easy or pleasant for patients, but things are getting easier all the time for dental professionals.
