I almost cringed when I typed the title. Who's gone digital? I'm considering it more for flexible partials and some of my dentures.
It also gives the dinosaurs a coronary.It really is just another tool to make prosthetics with.
Just more oil for the future.It also gives the dinosaurs a coronary.
only if you're making partials for horses...is it accurate enough for RPD/denture work on a regular basis?

so what do you think? is it ready to go full steam on RPD frames and printed dentures?Depends who you ask, doesn't it? Remember those original Bruxzir coming off the big Haas machines? Jimmy changed the business with what some would argue was a much less accurate part.
I'd venture to say this though: consistent RPDs are a tougher nut to crack than full dentures.
industry needs a paradigm shift first - a way to stop thinking like the teachings of 100 year old textbooks is correct, useful, and a directive for digital manufacturing.so what do you think? is it ready to go full steam on RPD frames and printed dentures?
printing materials suck.industry needs a paradigm shift first - a way to stop thinking like the teachings of 100 year old textbooks is correct, useful, and a directive for digital manufacturing.
we need to feed an AI some the rules for partial design, and let it iteratively generate better structure, form, and manufacturing method.
because 3d printed metals suck. and 3d cut metals also are painful to produce.
see above... (regarding printing)I think input, design, and output is there. Manufacturing for full (budget) dentures is there but cost is set to start down next quarter once materials options increase.
It seems the jury is still out regarding full-on manufacturing of RPDs.

are you referring to printing material?I think if youre waiting to get on board because of certain limitations in materials, those needs are being met right now through R and D and you will only be that much further behind the arc when the game changes again..
