dentca 3D printer

Fabrication of dental prostheses with DENTCA utilizes a computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system. The system is said to automate the denture-making process for precision and incorporates a 3D impression scanning system, automated DENTCA 3D software and a stereolithographic additive printer technology for denture fabrication. Once DENTCA receives the impression (or 3D scanned files) from doctors or labs, the CAD software system creates 3D dentures using all anatomical landmarks captured in the impression and then 3D prints dentures. Additionally, DENTCA only requires one patient visit before final denture delivery, compared to five visits required by conventional methods.
